Escape to this magical cottage for two in Keswick and take one very content canine along with you for the stay. This exquisite abode makes an idyllic retreat for a couple and their four-legged friend who are keen to discover the beauty of the Lake District. Enjoy the convenience of staying in the vibrant town, with its dog-friendly pubs and cafes, while also having access to some superb lakeside and fell walks to keep furry feet happy for the duration of the break.

Open the door to the delightful holiday home and find yourselves in a welcoming, open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner. Light the wood burner on chilly evenings and let Fido warm himself in its heat after his exhilarating excursions. Settle in front of the TV or with your holiday novel for a while before heading over to the kitchen area to feed your hungry hound and to make a romantic meal for two. You also have a useful washing machine. At the end of each exciting day, bid Fido goodnight then climb the stairs to the king-size bedroom, which comes with a TV and an en-suite bathroom. Take your pup out for a stroll in the morning then return home to have breakfast in the courtyard garden on warm days. You also have a useful outdoor sink for rinsing muddy paws after wet walks. Guests will receive a permit for the town’s car parks if they give their vehicle registration number at the point of booking.

Stroll approximately 600 metres from the cottage to reach the shores of Derwentwater. From here, undertake as much of the 10-mile walk around the lake as you choose. Book a dog-friendly cruise on the water to soak up the scenery; leap off at jetties along the way to see ears prick up at walks to nearby beauty spots.

Beautiful cottage in central location. Ideal for walking trip & close to bus service. Unfortunately I could not fathom the hob despite looking at instructions. Could be my lack of knowledge or it was broken. Overall would recommend.

If you are offering use of a washing machine, please make sure that the drawer is clean and NOT full of mould. That you go through the whole property to check out any snaggings eg heated radiator in bathroom is fixed to the wall properly. The sockets behind the bed are not live. As there was a big fizzy sound when plugging in the light plug. The laRead moretch on the bathroom door only has two screws instead of 4, so it doesn't break off. The volume of plugs in extensions under the TV. Hide
