Anyone with a nose for nature will not be disappointed with this idyllic shepherd’s hut set in a quiet location with scenic walks your pup will go mutts for on the doorstep.
This beautiful bolthole is one of three double shepherd’s huts on the site, creating a unique rural retreat. Lead the way up the oak stairs, through the French doors and into the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner. Your canine companion will go barking mad for the roaring wood burner, which provides welcome warmth and sets the scene for relaxation. Tame the growl of hungry stomachs in the kitchen, which features everything you need to rustle up romantic dinners and tasty treats. Take a seat at the dining table to enjoy your efforts and plan tomorrow’s walkies. When it’s finally time to pause from chasing your tail, head along the hallway to the en-suite king-size bedroom, located in the second shepherd’s hut, which promises a peaceful rest. Outside, little paws can pad around the garden as you take a soothing soak in the hot tub or dine alfresco with a sparkling sundowner. There is private parking available for one car.
This scenic and secluded tranquil spot is a haven for keen outdoor explorers and canine companions alike, with plenty of stick-throwing opportunities within the stunning Cumbrian countryside on your doorstep. In the pretty village of Pooley Bridge, 3 miles away, hire a boat with your canine companion in tow to take in the breathtaking scenery of Ullswater. Waterfall enthusiasts can follow the trail to witness the magnificent Aira Force, just 5 miles away. The charming village of Watermillock (2 miles) enjoys the tranquillity of the Cumbrian countryside, with the Ullswater Way passing nearby, perfect for exploring the area on two wheels if your four-pawed pal can keep up.
