Perfect for a pet-loving couple, this romantic retreat is in the heart of Ambleside. Expect a friendly welcome from the town’s inns and eateries and set off on tail-wagging walks from the doorstep – a parking permit means you can explore at leisurely pace.
With plenty of space for a pair of pups, this single-storey cottage has all the creature comforts of home. Enjoy down-time with your loved ones in the open-plan social space – a tiled floor draws together the discrete areas for cooking, dining and unwinding. In the lounge, comfortable sofas and armchairs are arranged before a wood burner-effect electric heater and a Smart TV, creating a cosy ambience as you cuddle up with the dogs at your feet. Once they’re settled for the night, head along the hallway to a peaceful king-size bedroom and sleek shower room. Take a seat outside for a breath of fresh Lakeland air - the front of the property basks in the afternoon sun.
Unpack and forget about your car for a few days – Ambleside is easily explored on foot, and a permit allows you to park nearby. You’ll find a great range of shops and places to eat and drink on the doorstep; for the full taste of local life follow the River Rothay up to Stock Ghyll Force (1 mile), or head to Wansfell Pike (2 miles). A mile south, Lake Windermere offers shoreline walks and dog-friendly boat trips. Well-behaved pets are also welcome on the Ravenglass & Eskdale Railway, which transports passengers along 7 miles of scenic track between Eskdale (15 miles) to Ravenglass (30 miles), the only coastal village in the Lake District National Park.
