Rest and recharge at this warm and welcoming country cottage, perfect for families, friends and two four-legged friends seeking a peaceful stay in the Cumbrian countryside. The ruins of Hadrian’s Wall are just 1 mile away, with an easy-to-follow pathway through breathtaking countryside. Let your pup lead the way along the route to the scenic village of Gilsland (5.5 miles), perched on the edge of the vast Northumberland National Park (8 miles).

This beautiful stone cottage has several original features, including exposed stonework and original beams, and a soft, neutral colour palette creates a relaxing ambience. Downstairs is the open-plan living area, where the lounge, kitchen and dining areas flow together as one sociable space. An electric, log burner effect lends the cottage a cosy feel, especially on chilly winter evenings. While your four-legged pals sleep, you can watch your favourite movie on the Smart TV. When you are hungry, head to the kitchen and dining area, which has all the appliances to make meal preparation a breeze. Upstairs are a double and a twin bedroom, both en-suite, tucked beneath the eaves and skylights, letting natural light pour in. Downstairs, French doors lead to a private, enclosed garden where you can relax on the seating and dine alfresco. Set on a farm, you can wander down to enjoy direct access to the banks of the River Irthing. Private parking is available for two cars.

Discover the pretty market towns of Longtown (15 miles) on the River Esk and Brampton (3.5 miles). Surrounding Brampton are beautiful woodlands, including Gelt Woods (6 miles), where your pups can roam off-lead and enjoy a swim. Spend the day in the city of Carlisle (13 miles), which has plenty of eateries that welcome dogs, and both the castle and cathedral are dog friendly.

From the moment we arrived and were greeted with a lovely welcome pack, we knew this place was special. The cottage is so peaceful and cosy, with perfect cottage-core charm throughout. The kitchen had everything we needed it really felt like the owners had thought of everything to make the stay comfortable and relaxing. We loved walking down to tRead morehe river to explore, and it was the perfect place to properly switch off and unwind. Honestly, we couldnt fault it and would happily return. Hide
