Situated in the small village of Little Blencow on the edge of the Lake District National Park, sits this charming three-bedroom cottage. Overlooking the village green and the River Petteril, it’s an idyllic space for families looking for tranquillity and long walks straight from the door with their four-pawed friend.
Formerly the village pub, the property has been lovingly converted yet still retains much of its original character with wooden beams throughout. The open-plan ground floor is a sociable space with comfortable sofas that invite you to sit and chat with the family while your canine companion stretches out on the wooden floor. There’s plenty of space for everyone and on chillier nights you and your pup can enjoy relaxing in front of the wood burner. Overlooking the lounge is an inviting dining table and a contemporary kitchen equipped with everything you’ll need for a comfortable stay. There’s also a handy utility room on this floor for washing muddy boots and mucky paws and an outdoor courtyard where your pet can safely roam. From the ground floor, stairs lead up to the first floor where you’ll find the three bedrooms. Featuring an en-suite super-king-size, en-suite king-size, and a single room, all are wonderfully comfortable and furnished with style and flair. Outside, opposite the house, there’s a private picnic table overlooking the green. Soak up the tranquil views while the children play with Fido on the grass or head to the river, just 30 metres from the front door, and watch the family splash in the water with your beloved hound.
The historic market town of Penrith is 5 miles from the property and offers fabulous shops, restaurants, and dog-friendly pubs. While here, catch a film or visit the gallery at the neighbouring Rheged Centre. The more energetic can head 7 miles to Ullswater where you can spend the day on the lake. Your pet will love to swim in the water while you try your hand at wake surfing or paddleboarding. Aira Force, 9.5-miles from the property, will also get tails wagging with its tall waterfall, forest trees, and wildlife.
