Fall head over paws for this enchanting cottage that’s straight out of a fairy tale, nestled at the heart of the Lakeland town of Grange-over-Sands. Set less than a mile from the main promenade and pretty rows of shops and eateries, it is a quintessential gem that’s perfect for small families. Enjoy balmy summer evenings in the sweet country-cottage garden, and on chilly nights let sleeping dogs lie by the roaring open fire in the lounge.
Beneath the traditional stone exterior is a cosy haven that has been lovingly accessorised with traditional-style furniture, cushions, and decorative pieces. Transform local produce into fantastic feasts in the kitchen, gathering in the dining room for leisurely mealtimes by candlelight, watched intently by Rex as he waits patiently for a few tasty morsels under the table. Pop a log on the fire and kick back with a glass of wine, or head outside to enjoy the ambience of the fading light in the enclosed garden. There is a BBQ, garden furniture, and a laundry room for your exclusive use. Upstairs, an elegant bathroom and two charming bedrooms await dog-tired guests, both wonderfully comfortable with floral decor and soft linen.
Wake up to the sound of birdsong and venture into town to pick up fresh croissants for breakfast, treating your pooch to a stroll in the ornamental gardens. A short 7-mile drive will bring you into the famous town of Windermere with its iconic lake and bustling town centre, but if you prefer sleepy villages, Cartmel 2.5 miles away is a must for foodies thanks to its famous cheese shop. Adventurous types will be able to hire bikes locally, taking in the scenery as you cycle to nearby villages such as Witherslack 5.5 miles away for a slap-up pub lunch with Fido in tow.
