This traditional Lakeland cottage sits in an elevated position, with jaw-dropping views across the National Park. The property, which is 9 miles south of Kendal, welcomes four guests and is perfect for couples and families seeking outdoor adventure with their waggy-tailed companion. As expected, the area is awash with fell-walking opportunities, and you'll also be perfectly placed for exploring the Lake District's southern lakes, including Windermere (7 miles) and Coniston Water (21 miles).

The cottage is full of personality and charm, with beautiful original features complemented by traditional country-cottage decor. After a long walk with the woofer, unwind in the cosy lounge, with its magnificent beamed ceiling and roaring open fire. Stretch out on the sofa to read your book, whilst Rover dozes at your feet, or browse the Smart TV for a classic film to watch. To the rear of the property is a fabulous sunroom with panoramic views across the valley - the ideal spot for a morning coffee, as you plan the day's itinerary. The separate, country-style kitchen/diner is equipped with everything needed for a self-catering break, and has a cute, wooden dining table for sharing mealtimes as a group. Completing the ground floor is a handy shower room. The two bedrooms - a double and a twin - are located upstairs and are both decorated in delicate tones, with pretty linens and wooden furniture. The family bathroom rounds off the accommodation. Outside, fully embrace the breathtaking scenery from the raised patio garden (surrounded by a low stone wall). Enjoy al fresco dining on a balmy, summer's evening whilst your furry friend potters around in the sunshine. The property has private parking for one car.

Just 5.5 miles away is the wildlife-rich Whitbarrow Nature Reserve. This is a lovely spot for a relaxing (on lead) dog walk, offering stunning views of the surrounding fells and Morecambe Bay. Enjoy a day at the coast at Grange-over-Sands (9.5 miles), strolling along the promenade or joining one of the waymarked trails, such as the scenic route to Humphrey Head. For shopping and eating out, journey into Bowness-on-Windermere (8 miles), where you'll find a great range of paw-friendly options.

Apart from the comment above our stay was excellent. The views are beautiful and peace and quiet. And there was everything in the cottage we needed.

Peacefully located, quirky, clean and well equipped cottage with beautiful view from the patio. Initially we found the narrow lanes and parking at the cottage difficult but soon worked out a system. Apparently, HOWE is classified as a hamlet which don`t have village signs on the roadside so it is easy to drive through without realising it.

Lovely cottage with great views, clean, attractive and comfortable. More detail about walks from the front door wouldve helped too. The patio area at the back is unfenced so dog owners also need this info
