Make memories with your nearest, dearest and your furry friends in this pet-friendly stone cottage on the edge of the Lake District National Park. This beautifully presented, bijou accommodation choice is a destination retreat for two guests with space for two dogs to come along too. Your canine companion will never forget the endless walkies and evenings filled with cosy cuddles indoors, spending your days exploring the surrounding waters and hilltops before returning home for a cosy evening in front of the TV. Ideal when visiting with other pup-loving groups, the property sits on an estate with four further properties, each one dog-friendly.

This immaculately presented cottage is centred around an open-plan living space with a kitchen, lounge and diner in one. Let your doggo choose the optimal spot for their bed and blanket in this sociable room, creating the warmest snooze spot for them to curl up in after leading the way to adventure all day long. You’ll no doubt find comfort on the sofas, putting your feet up and switching on the TV after a delightful meal cooked up in the compact but well-equipped kitchen space. Along the hallway, a quality bathroom with underfloor heating invites you to sink into a bubble bath before bed, and the king-size bedroom next door makes your final port of call for the day. Outside, snuggle around the fire pit, enjoying an evening tipple beneath the clear night sky.

Ullswater is just 1 mile away, complete with waterside walking routes to easily follow, marinas at regular intervals for canine-compatible boat trips to see the water a different way, and the Aira Force Waterfalls beauty spot close by (4 miles). Seek out sights on higher ground as you hike up Great Mell Fell (5.5 miles) and Little Mell Fell (1.5 miles), letting Rover sniff out an optimal route as you enjoy the remarkable country views.

A wonderfully quiet little bolt hole, comfortable and stylish with everything you need. It was a perfect base for exploring the northern fells, with a great selection of pubs and short walk or drive away, couldn't ask for more.

Had a lovely stay. Having a garden/yard enclosed was great for our dog. Everything about Heft cottage was quality. Just the two of us and a dog and it was very spacious.
