Pack up the dog beds and escape to this romantic retreat with your loved one and two canine companions. Set tails wagging exploring the fells and waterside walks next to Lake Windermere before cosying up in front of the wood burner, or sipping an evening tipple in the riverside garden.

Compact yet cosy, this pleasant home is ideal for a restful retreat. Rustle up meals or prepare picnics in the kitchen. Tuck into romantic meals at the dining table which is set in front of the window and overlooks the babbling river. When you are ready to let sleeping dogs lie, curl up on the lounge sofas and get warm in front of the roaring wood burner. Upstairs, the super-king size bedroom is spacious and has plenty of storage, along with an en-suite shower room. Outside, you can enjoy listening to the water trickle by and soak up the countryside air from the shared garden. Off-road parking is also available for two cars.

Set off on foot and paw into the pretty town of Ambleside (500 metres) which is a bustling hub on the northern tip of Lake Windermere. There are plenty of shops and eateries where dogs are welcome and has easy access to the woodland walking trail that leads to Stock Ghyll Force (0.5 miles). Climb the challenging peaks of Loughrigg Fell or Wansfell Pike, both 4.5 miles away, or for really keen paws, try the mountain peak of Red Screes (4 miles). Take to the water on one of the scenic boat cruises available from Waterhead Pier (0.5 miles).

We stayed in Overbeck 25 years ago, this time we stayed in Middlebeck and loved the view out over the river watching the diving ducks (Goosanders), the kingfisher and Little Dipper. Very convenient for walking into Ambleside or down to Waterhead along a riverside walk, the dog loved it, to catch a ferry on Windermere.
