Situated in the foothills of majestic Blencathra, this stone former barn has been transformed into three comfortable properties that are ideal for families. Explore the rugged northern reaches of the Lake District National Park, bringing along your two hounds to join in on the fun. Tall peaks, ethereal woodland and serene lakes provide a tempting natural playground for humans and hounds alike, so all you’ll need to do is remember to bring along some treats to enjoy afterwards. On your return, your accommodation has ample sleeping space for six.
Continue the fun with a BBQ feast in the shared outdoor area before retreating to your private patio for an al fresco drink at sunset. The weary pawed will soon find a cosy snoozing spot in the spacious lounge/diner while you watch TV, but at suppertime, he’ll quickly rouse himself to join you at the table. The kitchen is equipped with all the essentials for light breakfasts and hearty dinners, and at bedtime, you’ll discover the bedrooms – one on the first floor and two on the lower ground floor along with a generous bathroom.
Excellent road links close to the property lead to further exciting destinations including beautiful Keswick 5.5 miles away, a delightful market town with an excellent selection of independent shops, restaurants and cafes. Enjoy a show at the Theatre by the Lake, soak up some history at the museum, and perhaps nip to the cinema while Fido enjoys a bonus walk with the remainder of your party. Derwentwater is a short 2.5-mile drive from town and carries an impressive repertoire for water sports, especially if the idea of exploring by boat thrills you.
