Enjoying sweeping views over the fields to the fells and Bassenthwaite Lake, this cosy shepherd’s hut is the ultimate peaceful retreat, ideal for couples who never leave the house without their canine companions.
With its barrel-shaped roof and timber accents, the open-plan layout of this traditionally styled shepherd’s hut boasts a wonderfully warm ambience that invites tired feet and paws to unwind. Wrap your pup in their special blanket for a well-deserved doze whilst you unwind on the plush armchair or seated at the quaint dining table that’s perfectly placed for you to enjoy the views. Fill your top dog’s water bowl in the quaint kitchenette before rustling up some tasty treats with your local produce. As night falls, the sumptuous king-size bed tucked away at one side of the hut awaits. At the other side of the hut, there’s a shower room that provides everything you need to feel refreshed. Playful pups can run to their heart’s content in the shared enclosed garden, which also features seating and a fire pit, perfect for al fresco dining. There’s private parking for one car.
At the heart of the Lake District National Park, this scenic spot offers some wonderful walks to enjoy. A footpath from the farm leads directly to Skiddaw, the fourth-highest peak in the Lake District. Whinlatter Forest Park, 10.5 miles away, is home to some brilliant tracks and trails to explore by bike if your four-pawed pal can keep up, as well as some delightful woodland walks where you’ll find plenty of sticks to fetch. Nestled in a national landscape with views across the Solway Estuary and towards the Lake District and Scottish Fells, treat your pup to the 5-mile sandy stretch of Allonby Beach, 18.5 miles away (seasonal restrictions may apply).
