Nestled in the picturesque Eskdale Valley, this stylish and elegant holiday home proves that you don’t need to forgo luxury when travelling with your canine chums. With flexible accommodation for six adults and a warm welcome for two beloved pups, this delightful property is ideal for couples and groups of friends who love the great outdoors. With a multitude of walks from your front door and a stop on the dog-friendly La’al Ratty steam railway around 100 metres away, you can sniff out new adventures every day.
Lovingly refurbished to a very high standard, this wonderful cottage has a sophisticated, neutral colour scheme with plenty of contemporary comforts and thoughtfully chosen furniture. Perch on the window seat in the light-filled lounge to gaze over to Birker Fell, then cosy up in the evening with the pups snoozing in front of the wood burner. The open-plan kitchen and dining room is warm and welcoming. Cook up a storm on the range-style oven, then wine and dine in style at the elegant dining table, patio doors open on warm days or wood burner lit for extra warmth. Sip your morning coffee or evening sundowner on the elevated terrace while your dogs play on the sloping lawn; there’s a convenient dog shower at the bottom of the garden for mucky pups! When night falls, head up to the three tastefully presented bedrooms, each with an ornamental fireplace and country views. A bathroom with a roll-top bath and separate shower, and a shower room take care of the rest of the pack.
Let your canine chums lead the way to adventure as you head out to explore your surrounds. Sca Fell and Scafell Pike offer challenging walks, while more gentle routes can be found around Wast Water and along the River Esk. Free-flowing Stanley Ghyll Waterfall is around 4.5 miles away, or head to dog-friendly Drigg Beach (7.5 miles) to let your pups run free on the sands.
