Enjoy fell views and Lakeland walks with a stay at this romantic cottage that’s perfect for a couple and their four-legged companion. Set just off the banks of Esthwaite Water, it’s surrounded by landscapes that inspired William Wordsworth and Beatrix Potter, and it won’t take you long to see why. You’re perfectly placed for exploring not one but three lakes here. Alongside Esthwaite, both Coniston Water and Windermere are within 5 miles. With so much shoreline and scenery to discover, you’ll have an almost endless choice of waterside walks to enjoy with your inquisitive pup.
Compact yet thoughtfully arranged, this distinctive single-storey cottage offers a comfortable base to relax between adventures. After scampering up the steps to enter the cottage, get yourselves settled in the open-plan living space. Whether you’re curling up in front of the wood burner, watching the Smart TV or preparing a romantic meal in the kitchen, everything is designed to help you enjoy a well-earned break. And with the double bedroom close by, you’re never too far away from your beloved pet. At the front of the property, a raised terrace enclosed by fencing for privacy offers a peaceful outdoor space to enjoy a morning coffee with your pup happily snoozing at your feet.
Hike to the summit of Claife Heights from Far Sawrey (3 miles) for a rewarding walk with your pooch, admiring sweeping views across Lake Windermere as you climb. Grizedale Forest (2 miles) also has some wonderful walks, with woodland trails for all abilities, even older or slower dogs. If your curious canine has a nose for adventure, try paddleboarding on Coniston. There’s nothing quite like gliding across the water for an unforgettable bonding experience.
