With red squirrels running by and magnificent fell views to enjoy from home, this stunning Lakeland property is a top choice for both man and dog alike. Your entire pack will no doubt find something to write home about during a stay in this delightful cottage, which comfortably sleeps five human guests and two beloved pups. We’re certain your four-pawed pals will find cosy sleeping spots in front of the wood burners in the lounge and dining room, tails wagging with exhaustion after long hikes and unforgettable walkies in the surrounding National Park.
Lovingly presented, with plenty of traditional features, this charming stone house maintains an elegant country style. With flagged stone flooring on the ground floor, you won’t have to worry about muddy paws making a mess the moment you step inside. Make a beeline for the hub of the kitchen and warm up by the authentic oil Aga before throwing logs on the wood burners. A handy ground-floor utility room offers washing facilities, perfect for throwing dog towels and muddy outerwear in to wash, and a covered storage area outside, off the kitchen, allows for storage of activity gear and bikes. Let the dogs enjoy a stroll around the enclosed garden space whilst you sit with a morning coffee, soaking up the stunning views of surrounding fells.
Let your canine companions sniff out some adventure close by, discovering the waters of Bassenthwaite Lake and Derwentwater (1 mile and 3 miles respectively). There’s plenty of wildlife to be chased and views to be enjoyed when hiking the surrounding mountains, finding Skiddaw (5 miles), Blencathara (9 miles) and Grisedale Pike (7 miles) accessible from your doorstep. Alternatively, for less energetic pups who can’t face a mountain hike, enjoy the luscious terrain of the Whinlatter Forest Park just 6 miles away.
