This luxurious ground-floor apartment sleeps four guests and one canine companion. It’s the ideal retreat for those who love the outdoors, with mile upon mile of varied trails and tracks to explore, as well as beautiful lawns and woodlands surrounding the property. The vibrant town of Windermere welcomes walkers and waggy-tailed wanderers with open arms, with many of the pubs, cafes and shops tailored to four-legged visitors.
The attention to detail in this stylish property is superb; contemporary furniture and extravagant touches make the holiday feel like a real treat. The spacious apartment boasts views over the immaculate grounds and large windows flood the rooms with natural light. The hallway has ample space for coats, boots and dog-walking gear and there’s also a well-stocked reading area with local books and maps to plan your itinerary. The heated airer is a great addition if the weather’s not kind during your stay, too. Outside, enjoy relaxing on your private south-facing terrace while the dog runs off some steam on the large shared lawn. There is also a newly upgraded dog-washing facility with warm water available.
From the apartment, it’s worth taking the short walk (1.5 miles) to Orrest Head, where there’s a fabulous viewing point which looks out over the lake and the Langdales. If you want to get out on the water, many of the cruises allow dogs for free – it’s a very calming way to experience the beauty of Windermere. For an equally picturesque outing, why not hop aboard the Lakeside and Haverthwaite steam locomotive (12 miles away)? Step back in time and enjoy unique views of the lake and, again, dogs go free! For acres and acres of secluded woodland, head to Grizedale Forest (13 miles away). There are marked trails for all abilities and over 40 pieces of outdoor artwork to admire.
