Escape to the Lake District National Park and enjoy a break with your two canine companions in tow. This spacious property is located at the heart of the action with sleeping space for up to nine humans, offering all the home comforts you could wish for including a roaring wood-burner effect gas fire for cosy evenings. Keswick is brimming with exciting things to see and do including a cinema, museum and the popular Theatre by the Lake.

Scamper through the front garden and up the steps to find a comfortable abode with lots of socialising space for your entire pack. The open-plan lounge/diner provides a sanctuary for film nights and family mealtimes, and the kitchen has everything your budding chef needs to cook up a storm. There’s a handy breakfast table for the early risers to grab a quick coffee, and the utility room is useful for washing muddy paws. The bedrooms are divided between all three floors, and the property also features a shower room and a bathroom. Outside, there is a small courtyard for al fresco drinks.

Sniff out the best local fare from one of the dog-friendly pubs, restaurants and cafes, then venture into the countryside for a scenic walk. Stick-chasers are in for a treat when they discover this beautiful natural playground, stretching all four limbs with challenging walks through Whinlatter Forest (5 miles) and around stunning Derwentwater. The daredevils among you will adore the opportunities for water sports here, whether you are tempted by kayaking, sailing or even joining Fido for a quick dip! Blencathra (6.5 miles) will thrill even the most experienced of hikers, plus there’s golf, fishing and climbing activities available via one of the nearby activity centres.

The house was beautifully furnished and maintained. It was well supplied with equipment and the owners left us a lovely welcome tray and Christmas gift. The whole family loved it - our granddaughter voted it the best holiday house yet - and there have been a few! It is ideally placed for walking into town and the back yard is well enclosed for dogRead mores Hide

Lovely cottage with really comfy beds and well equipped with everything we needed. A great location within walking distance of Keswick town centre. We had an issue with the WiFi when we arrived but Holiday Cottages were amazing at getting it quickly sorted and keeping us updated - amazing service.
