Located in the western Lake District, your group of up to six people and one pup are never far from a great outdoor adventure.

Wipe down muddy paws and boots in the large porch area of this welcoming home-from-home. Your dog will be wriggling to free itself from your arms and explore the bright kitchen/diner, where a yummy bowl of doggy treats await. Let the chef of your group rustle up a plate of delicious snacks as you head into the pretty lounge. Admire the wow-factor view of the surrounding fells from the window before lighting a fire in the open fireplace. Relax on the cushy sofa as your dog takes a nap by your side; watch a film on the Smart TV/DVD player or unwind with an exciting book. Outside, an idyllic enclosed garden is surrounded by unforgettable scenery. Bask in the sunshine on a warm summer’s day with a celebratory glass of fizz as your pup sniffs the shrubbery and sprints across the grass. When it’s time for bed, choose to sleep in one of three bedrooms: one king-size or one twin on the ground floor. The remaining king-size bedroom is on the lower ground floor, accessed either via a stair-gated hatch and steep ladder-style staircase, or through French doors from outside
