Immaculately presented and fitted with a variety of eco-features that make this property extra-appealing, you’ll never forget a family getaway in this dog-friendly Lake District lodge. Leave no member of the pack behind when booking a stay here, looking forward to extraordinary walkies and endless games of fetch in surrounding Lakeland beauty spots, including on the banks of Lake Windermere (4 miles). The property itself is a destination retreat set out over two storeys, inviting eight guests and two dogs to stay in comfort – perfect for outdoor-loving families and groups of friends.

The social heart of the home is the first-floor open-plan living space, combining the kitchen, diner and lounge under exposed wooden beams, with natural light pouring through the windows. Curl up beside the crackling wood burner in the lounge as the Smart TV plays your favourite films, or head to the impressive cinema room for the full movie night experience. The island kitchen stands ready to host your culinary adventures, as does the grand dining table in the centre of the room. When sleep beckons, find two sumptuous bedrooms on this first floor, a king-size room, and a super-king-size room, both boasting en-suite shower rooms. Downstairs on the ground floor, choose from another super-king-size bedroom with an en-suite shower room, and a king-size room with an en-suite bathroom. Outside, enjoy al fresco food and drinks from the first floor’s scenic balcony, or head downstairs to unwind in the peaceful, verdant garden that awaits.

Set within the Langdale Valley, open your front door and head out on any number of walkies from this incredible location. Follow a pretty route from River Rothay along to Grasmere (both 2 miles), stopping in the village for a pint in a local pub or to pick up some gingerbread from a local bakery.

  • 4 bedrooms – 2 super-king-size and 2 king-size

We stayed here as a family of 3 and the location and views were perfect. House was well equipt and easy to use appliances. The welcome gifts were a lovely touch and we enjoyed the fire every day due to the snow and cold weather. House needs a bit of tlc and a deep clean. Overall a nice stay.

A very lovely and spacious cottage, suitable for 8 persons and a dog. The top terrace has a lovely view over the valley and the ground floor covered terrace came in very handy during extensive rainy spells during our stay. The beds were very comfortable and clean. The hob proved to be a little small when cooking for a large group of people.
