Property code: OC-SZ178

Surrounded by stunning mountains that lay waiting to be explored, there’s really no better place to enjoy a dog-friendly retreat than the Cumbrian village of Glenridding. Both pups and people will find something to go mutts for in this bright and beautiful property, whether it’s the endless routes for walkies on offer close by or the cosy bedrooms that await you after a long day of throwing tennis balls and receiving sticks. Merrily sleeping four guests and one canine companion, the cottage lends itself perfectly to any small family or a doggo-loving friendship group with a beloved four-pawed pal making up part of the pack.

Cheerfully presented with bright tones and colourful interiors, this accommodation choice is a delight to wake up to each and every morning. Jump out of bed and head downstairs, throwing open the door to let Fido stretch their legs as you relish your morning brew. Back inside, you’ll find an abundantly spacious kitchen with room to park your pet’s favourite bed, along with a lounge/diner where each and every member of the pack will find somewhere to get comfy. Throw a log on the wood burner to create a truly warming ambience, switching on the telly as your beloved bowwow curls up and snoozes by your feet.

Let Rover take the lead when exploring walks from your doorstep, embracing a walk to nearby Place Fell (3.5 miles) or heading further afield to Fairfield Peak (5 miles). The cottage itself is less than 1 mile from the banks of Ullswater, a generous expanse of lake with boat trips and plenty of waterside walking routes. Leave no stick unfetched when exploring the stunning Aira Force Waterfall (2.5 miles) or take a pup-friendly lake cruise from Glenridding Pier (1 mile) to Pooley Bridge (8.5 miles).

This is a lovely cottage with everything you need for a family holiday. We had lots of rain but the wood-burner meant we also enjoyed days in. Plenty of food and shops to keep you going in the village if you need it and walks from the door.

We had a wonderful stay! The cottage is in a perfect location with fantastic views. It is small but has everything needed. We appreciated how clean and welcoming the cottage was on arrival, and enjoyed the wine and Kendal mint cake, thank you! It was our second stay and we would book again - Glenridding and the local area are beautiful.

We could only get away for a short stay but the cottage was perfect for us. All the equipment that we could possibly need was provided. The views to the front are stunning and we enjoyed the walk into village which was a leisurely 15 minutes away .. but takes longer uphill on the way back! We tried both of the pubs. The Ullswater Inn was the busiesRead moret but we were disappointed with the food. The Travellers Rest is only a stones throw from the cottage and really small with friendly staff. Hide

Fantastic location for the fells and Glenridding. Very clean and comfy. The cottage was a great retreat after days out in very chilly (but enjoyable) conditions on Helvellyn and surrounding hills.

Lovely rugged location close to Helvellyn and Ullswater. The cottage hadn't been cleaned when we got there, and was very cold, but the agents sent out a team to clean it and their apology seemed very genuine. It spoiled our first evening though. It was very cold and snowy during our stay, which was great, so I'd urge visitors to bring warm clothes Read moreand extra blankets. The cottage did warm up with the heating system and the wood-burner. Hide

The cottage is in a fabulous location with amazing views, especially from the front bedroom. It is compact but provides all the amenities needed inside. Unfortunately, there is no private garden area which was anticipated.

Lovely cottage in a quiet spot just outside Glenridding on the way up towards Helvellyn (or more accurately Glenridding Dodd I guess). Also, handy for the Travellers Rest pub, which is a nice, traditional pub that hasn't been tarted up like the rest of the pubs in the village. When we weren't walking, it also has a nice front (side?) garden to baskRead more in the sun and for the dog to play in too... Hide

This cottage was really lovely, great layout, lovely location and comfortable. It shouldnt however be advertised as having an enclosed garden as it did not. Having a dog, we specifically picked this cottage as it said the garden was enclosed. As the garden at the front and the wall is all that separates the house from the road it meant putting our Read moredog on the lead each time she needed to go out. If you do not have a dog I would thoroughly recommend this cottage as a great place to stay. Hide
