Situated along the edge of the North Pennines, and just 15 miles from the northern reaches of the Lake District, this welcoming property provides relaxing accommodation for couples seeking a tranquil holiday retreat. With space for two human guests as well as a pair of four-legged friends, the property makes a lovely romantic getaway with glorious countryside to explore. Part of a small complex of holiday homes in the picturesque Cumberland village of Gamblesby, the cottage is a fantastic base for walkers and nature lovers eager to discover the area’s glorious countryside.
On entering this bright and inviting property, you will find the cosy open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner with exposed timber ceiling beams. The comfortable lounge has a TV and plenty of seating, providing an ideal spot to sit back and unwind after a fabulous day exploring the Lake District. The central breakfast bar separates the lounge from the country-style kitchen. Stairs lead up from the lounge to the first floor which has a charming king-size bedroom and an en-suite bathroom. Stepping outside, the courtyard is shared with the neighbouring properties and is a lovely suntrap, perfect for you and your pets to sit back on a lazy summer’s afternoon and relax in the sunshine. The village location is very quiet, with the main daily soundtrack consisting of birdsong, the odd tractor and an occasional passing herd of cows or sheep!
Gamblesby is perfect for exploring the Eden Valley which offers miles of breathtaking walks for your canine pal to lead you on. Local dog-friendly landmarks include including Little Meg and Her Daughters (3.5 miles) and Lacy’s Caves (8 miles), and there are plenty of great places to eat and drink in the bustling town of Penrith (10.5 miles). The Lake District is just 15 miles west, with dogs welcome to help you explore Lowther Castle and Gardens, Aira Force Waterfall, Lake Ullswater and the ruins of Shap Abbey, all within 22 miles.
