This delightful two-storey hideaway in a quiet corner of the Lake District National Park is ideal for couples or solo travellers and up to two pups seeking a quiet base for outdoor adventures. The property is located in the hamlet of Bowscale and sits in 3 acres of sheep-grazing fields. Surrounded by fells and footpaths, let your pups sniff out an adventure along scenic trails starting right from your doorstep, including the northern fells of Bowscale and Carrock. For something more challenging, head 6 miles to tackle the iconic summit of Blencathra.
Step through a shared Georgian hallway to access this welcoming cottage. Inside, you’ll find a contemporary and stylish open-plan lounge/kitchen/dining area, designed for comfort and a memorable stay. Settle into the plush sofa, with your hounds snoozing at your feet, and watch your favourite shows on the Smart TV or simply lose yourself in the sweeping fell views. The compact kitchen is cleverly designed and fully equipped to rustle up tasty treats, complete with a handy breakfast bar for morning coffee. A separate dining table allows you to linger over romantic dinners or to plan tomorrow’s adventures. There is a downstairs shower room. Upstairs is a king-size bedroom for a restful sleep before waking to beautiful countryside views. Outside, you’ll find an enclosed garden where your four-legged friends can play while you unwind on the bistro-style seating. Private parking is available for one car.
