Follow leafy trails through the forest and head off on fell walks that bring sheer doggy delight when you stay at this inviting Lakeland holiday home. Set in the village of Lorton, 7 miles from Keswick, the four-bedroom holiday home sleeps seven guests and one furry friend. With a gorgeous garden, where you and your happy hound can bask in the sunshine, the home is also just 2 miles from Whinlatter Forest Park and 5 miles from Crummock Water.
Wander into the entrance hall to find plenty of space for dog leads, walking boots and other outside gear. Head into the kitchen to top up your pal’s water bowl and unpack the fresh local produce you have bought. Find everything else you need in here to prepare delicious meals, plus a handy washer/dryer. Feed your hungry hound in the kitchen and everyone else through in the dining room. Afterwards, fire up the wood burner in the characterful lounge, with its stone walls, and let your contented canine stretch out while you find a film on the Smart TV. On fine days, pull open the French doors to wander outside. Climb the stairs to the first floor when you are ready to lay your head in either of the twin bedrooms, one with an en-suite shower room, or the double or single. The family bathroom is also up here. Make the most of the charming English country garden but keep an eye on your pup and children by the stream. You’ll find parking for two cars at the barn.
At Whinlatter Forest Park, follow exciting trails to make soft ears prick up. Stretch energetic, furry legs further on an 8-mile circuit of beautiful Crummock Water, taking you along a lakeshore path and through Mellbreak Fell, with its impressive views of the lake below.
