Head out on foot through the beautiful Lancashire surroundings from this appealing stone cottage in the Forest of Bowland National Landscape. Sleeping six guests, the three-bedroom, dog-friendly retreat sits with two other holiday hideaways in the leafy setting of Eaves Hall. Ideal for a family or group of friends with a pup in their party, it offers impressive interiors and a courtyard where you and your four-legged friend can soak up the sunshine and fresh air.
Head into the sumptuous retreat with your happy hound wagging his tail behind you. Find yourselves in a stylish, open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner where he can pad about as you unpack the fresh Lancashire produce you have bought. Top up his food and water bowls in the impressive kitchen, which has a central island and breakfast bar, then start chopping and peeling, ready to make something tasty for everyone else. Gather around the table for your celebratory meals as your pet sleeps off his delicious dinner. Settle in the colourful lounge in front of your favourite boxset on the Smart TV, while he curls up at your feet. Leave him dozing on the ground floor and ascend the staircase up to your inviting bedrooms above. These include a super-king-size, a king-size and a double, each with its own Smart TV. Two of these bedrooms also have en-suite shower rooms, and there is a family bathroom here too. Awake to take your delighted dog to stretch his furry legs at the start of the morning. Relax together in the courtyard over a cup of coffee or a glass of wine later in the day. There is ample private parking.
Take your chum to wander around the colourful gardens at Browsholme Hall, 5.5 miles away. Beacon Fell Country Park, 15 miles away, is also a superb dog-friendly destination.
