Perfect for keen walkers, nature spotters and playful pups alike, this cosy cottage set in the heart of Keswick is the ultimate retreat for couples craving an escape to the northern reaches of the Lake District.
Welcoming tired walking toes and paws with a soothing neutral colour palette, a wood-burner-effect electric fire and tail-wagging homely touches, the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner is the heart of the home-away-from-home. Your pup won't be able to resist snoozing beside the hearth as you whip up some tasty treats in the contemporary country cottage-style kitchen or hunker down for the evening on the plush sofa. Sharing the same blissfully peaceful ambience as the ground floor, the stylish double bedroom upstairs offers a haven of tranquillity to retire to when it's time to pause from chasing your tail. The contemporary bathroom on this level provides everything you need to wash off a long walkies. From sunrise to sunset, the peaceful bench at the front of the cottage is the perfect spot to sit back and watch the world go by. There's space for unloading outside the cottage, with a parking permit provided for nearby public long-stay car parks.
At the heart of the Lake District National Park, the village of Keswick is steeped in history and provides a playground of activities for outdoor explorers and canine companions, boasting some stunning walks in the fells. Whinlatter Forest Park, 5 miles away, is home to some brilliant trails to explore by bike if your four-pawed pal can keep up, and lovely woodland walks where you'll find plenty of sticks to fetch. Boasting tail-wagging views across the Solway Estuary and towards the Lake District and Scottish Fells, treat your pup to the 5-mile sandy stretch of Allonby Beach, 23.5 miles away (seasonal restrictions may apply).
