Property code: OC-SZ265

Offer your beloved pup the getaway of a lifetime with a stay in this charming countryside property, perfect for embracing long walks in the Yorkshire Dales National Park and Lake District further afield. After a day of walkies, fetching sticks and chasing the Cumbrian wildlife, we’re certain there’s nothing your dog will want to do more than curl up and get cosy in a warm and welcoming property. This single-storey cottage provides an ever-inviting atmosphere for four guests and one canine companion to call home, offering an equally rewarding environment for all guests (humans included) to feel completely comfortable!

Boasting increased accessibility, this farmhouse accommodation can be accessed via an external ramp and is all laid out on the ground floor. Painted with warm and cheerful colours throughout, both man and man's best friend will feel instantly cheery when waking up in this delightful space. Let Fido park their favourite dog bed in the cosy lounge, a space with an electric heater to add a cosy ambience and plenty of seating for lazing around late at night. Let a sleeping dog lie when it's time for bed, heading on through to a double and twin bedroom just down the hall. Naturally, a dog-friendly property wouldn't be complete without plenty of outdoor space and this property doesn't disappoint with a private terrace and generous shared gardens.

Take the lead with long walks in the surrounding hills, soaking up the very best scenery of the two nearby national parks. Close by, you’ll find fascinating woodlands and the banks of the River Eden when walking in Stenkrith Park (6 miles), as well as the chance to drop into the charming market town of Kirkby Stephen (7 miles). Leave no stick unfetched in the Lake District National Park, flocking to ever-popular Lake Windermere (25 miles) for a rewarding lakeside dog walk or even a pup-friendly boat trip on its shore.

The cottage was spotlessly clean on arrival with a welcome bottle of milk & biscuits to accompany a much needed cuppa + welcome biscuits for my dog It was well kitted out with high end furnishings and plenty of equipment for the most discerning cook The layout was well thought out and worked well with the opportunity to use the roof garden whenRead more the weather permitted the lawned areas of the garden were well maintained I canot thank Helen and John enough for their help and advice throughput the stay particularly with my car issues The location was handy for day trips out and the views over the rolling hills and seeing cattle and sheep grazing naturally was amazing - the night skies were fantastic If youre lucky enough to see a red squirrel in the garden like I did its an absolute bonus Hide

Helen was most welcoming and managed to get us a high chair and travel cot for our 2yr old. Our dog too, loved the property and there was fishing nearby so all parties were very satisfied. Will be back in Winter was the views and local walks were incredible in summer, but want to experience. All seasons here

We had a lovely holiday, thank you. Howgill is cosy, peaceful and compact - yet very well designed and in a great location for access to the Lake District, the Eden Valley and the Yorkshire Dales. Perfect for us as we're avid fell walkers. The outlook from the lounge, main bedroom and hallway windows are delightful with uniterrupted views of the HoRead morewgill Fells. We enjoyed eating out in nearby Ravenstonedale and also enjoyed a quick round of golf their too. We hope to re-visit one day. Hide
