Settle in for a relaxing countryside escape at this welcoming single-storey retreat for four guests and their faithful hound. Just a few miles from Penrith and with easy access to scenic valley strolls and lakeside rambles, this dog-friendly hideaway offers the perfect balance of adventure and tranquillity, with an enclosed garden to keep your canine companion safe and happy.
Step through the conservatory-style porch and into the entrance hallway. To the right, the lounge is a lovely space to put your feet up after a day’s exploring. With a Smart TV and wood burner-effect electric fire, it’s ideal for chilled evenings with your four-legged friend curled up close by. The kitchen/diner is light, bright and well-equipped, with a central table ready for family meals. Down the hall, there’s a king-size bedroom and a cheerful twin room. A gleaming family bathroom rounds off the indoor layout. Your furry sidekick will love the secure, enclosed garden for a tail-wagging time in the sunshine while you dine outside or simply soak up the peaceful countryside views. There's a handy outhouse for storing bikes and walking gear, and a covered walkway provides access whatever the weather. Private off-road parking for two cars completes the package.
Located 3 miles from Penrith, you’ll discover a buzzing historic town with cobbled lanes, independent shops, pet-friendly pubs, and the striking remains of a 14th-century castle. For lakeside wanders, head to Pooley Bridge (8 miles) at the northern tip of Ullswater, where you and your pup can stroll along the water's edge or hop aboard a heritage steamer boat. The circular walk via Howtown and Glenridding is a must for nature lovers and paw-trotters. Fancy a day trip? Carlisle and Keswick, both around 17.5 miles away, boast dog-welcoming parks, walking trails, and pet-positive places to eat.
