Ideally situated in the tranquil grounds of the 19th-century Augill Castle, this characterful cottage makes a lovely holiday retreat for couples and smaller families exploring an idyllic corner of Cumbria. Offering inviting accommodation for four guests, the stylishly updated bolthole also has plenty of space for a furry four-pawed pal eager to explore the vast expanses of the Lake District, the North Pennines and the Yorkshire Dales. With a traditional wood burner, exposed timber beams and a charming patio, this tastefully furnished residence is perfect for discovering the region’s rustic villages, historic sites and magical landscapes.
This cheery cottage features a welcoming lounge/diner with wooden ceiling beams, comfortable seating, a Smart TV and a cosy wood burner for your pet to snooze in front of after a great day ‘s exploring. There’s a convenient dining table over to one corner, perfect for enjoying family meals together which you’ve rustled up in the sleek and beautifully equipped galley-style kitchen. Upstairs, there’s a refreshing bathroom and two delightful bedrooms: a double and a twin, both decorated in fresh, light and relaxing tones. Outside, the enclosed rear patio has plenty of garden furniture, offering a relaxing spot for dining alfresco as your pet rests in the shade. Private parking is available for two cars.
The cottage lies in a fantastic spot midway between the Yorkshire Dales National Park (3.5 miles to the south) and the North Pennines National Landscape (2 miles to the north), offering glorious walks and hikes to enjoy with your pet; nearby destinations include The Rey Cross, Swindale Beck and Lune Head Stone Circle, all within 9 miles.
