For doggies keen to sniff out the Lake District, stay at this charming two-bedroom cottage located 150 metres from Coniston Water. It’s tucked within a private estate, for peacefulness guaranteed, with scenic trails all around for easy dog walks. You’ll be 6 miles from the bustling village of Coniston, where you can treat yourself to a slap-up pub dinner – perfect after a day out on the lake. The property has space for three guests over its two bedrooms, making it just right for couples or small groups with up to two canine visitors.
Step inside this whitewashed terraced cottage and you’ll find a cosy, welcoming space that makes relaxing after a day of exploring an absolute joy. There’s a handy entrance hall for kicking off muddy boots (and drying wet paws) before heading through to the stylish kitchen/diner, which is full of country charm with its pink cabinets and warm wood finishes. The spacious lounge/diner offers plenty of room to stretch out, with a wood burner for chilly evenings and a Smart TV for laid-back nights in. The enclosed courtyard garden is a lovely suntrap for both you and your four-legged friend, and with dedicated parking for two cars and space to unload right beside the cottage, arriving and settling in is refreshingly easy. Upstairs, you’ll find one comfortable double and one single bedroom, both with lovely views, as well as a family shower room. Do note that the stairs lead to a low-ceilinged landing, so take care if you're tall.
Nearby, take the scenic 15-mile walk around Coniston Water or take your pets for a gentle cruise on the Victorian steam-powered gondola (6 miles, dogs welcome aboard). Grizedale Forest (9 miles) is packed with dog-friendly trails.
