Waggy tails are welcome at this quirky Cumbrian retreat, where two shepherd’s huts have been joined together to create extra space. With fabulous views, a bubbling hot tub and a cosy wood burner, this unique property makes a lovely getaway for two humans and their canine companion. Spend your days exploring the mountains, lakes and walking trails of this breathtaking county, then head back for belly rubs, fireside snoozes and long soaks in the hot tub.
Inside, there’s space to relax after days exploring the Lakes with your four-legged friend, with a cosy living area for serene evenings and a well-equipped kitchen for serving up a dog’s dinner. After snuggles by the fire, turn in to the king-size bedroom in the second shepherd’s hut, and awake to morning brews while the sun rises over Cumbria’s rolling hillsides. While outside, your dog can potter in the private front garden as you tuck into an alfresco breakfast selection with your partner. And when you or your pooch need to freshen up, an en-suite shower room provides ample space to rinse off and reset.
This secluded escape is the ideal base for four-legged travellers, with walking opportunities right from the front door. No two days will be the same, whether you’re venturing over to the tip of Ullswater (3 miles) for lake trails, or ascending the iconic Helvellyn peak (10 miles). There are several sights of interest nearby, including Aira Force (5 miles) and Thornsgill Beck (14 miles), while the charming market town of Penrith (7.5 miles) can be visited for chew treats and dog-friendly pubs.
