  • Charming stone-built cottage 2 miles from Ullswater Lake
  • Four-poster double bed in the master bedroom
  • Perfect for small families and up to three dogs
Property code: OC-SZ339

Immerse yourselves in the tranquillity of the Lake District when you and your favourite furry friends retreat to this welcoming cottage in idyllic surroundings, 3 miles from Pooley Bridge. Sleeping four guests and three canine companions, the two-bedroom, stone holiday home is just over 1 mile from the shores of magnificent Ullswater. Find an array of exceptional dog walks from the front door to suit hounds of all ages and abilities. Return to the property to let your pals play on the shared expanse of grass while you soak up the sunshine and the serenity.

Let yourselves into the cottage to discover an inviting, open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner. Lay an open fire while your cheery chums pad and explore. Dish up their dinner in the kitchen area, prepare something tasty for the rest of your party and whiz any damp doggy towels through the washer/dryer. Settle on the sofas to watch TV while the pups doze quietly then climb a few stairs up to the family bathroom and more up to the two double bedrooms, one of which has a four-poster bed. Have your first cup of tea of the day out on your private, covered patio or throw a ball for your chums on the lawn. You also have parking for two cars and a secure space for storing bicycles.

Lace up your boots, call your happy hounds and follow the 1-mile trail to Little Mell Fell, with its enchanting scenery. Wander down to the lake instead to pick up the 20-mile Ullswater Way. This goes all the way around the lake, but your four-legged friends might appreciate boarding a dog-friendly steamer at one of the jetties along the way, to complete a stage or two by the water instead, while they put their paws up to take in the incredible scenery.

Lovely cottage with all the amenities needed. Well equipped with little touches such as salt and pepper. Located in a beautiful area, and we got to see a dark sky, so worth mentioning for future guests.

Beautiful cottage in a beautiful spot. Really spacious and tastefully done. Great facilities and well equipped kitchen. Very convenient location, we enjoyed a trip to a new town or village everyday. A rare find to allow 3 dogs so thank you very much.

I'm really disappointed by our stay. I was called a few hours before we were due to arrive to understand the cleaners hadn't turned up and so we'd have a late check-in. On checking in the place was not clean. Dog hair everywhere (all over the sofa) and my 20 month old daughter found a shard of glass on the floor. The WiFi was down in the cottage anRead mored the router was not in our building to be able to reset it. I was meant to be working on the Friday but couldn't due to no signal. Hide

Fantastic family break at this cosy cottage. The location was great, situated high above the lake and next to campsite shop and country pub. The cottage was stocked with all the essentials including a great DVD selection! The rooms were clean and modern but still had the cosy country feel to it. We would highly recommend and stay here again.
