An elegant, converted mill perfectly placed for scenic adventures in the eastern region of the Lake District, this rural hideaway is ideal for outdoorsy families with a waggy-tailed pal. Playful hounds (and brave humans) can enjoy a refreshing paddle in nearby Lake Windemere, then warm up chilly toes and paws by the roaring open fire.
Nestled at the end of a brick-lined driveway on well-kept grounds, this charming apartment exudes an understated country style with calming muted tones. Towel down your muddy dog, then step through your private entrance into the airy garden room where you can curl up in a chair and gaze across the leafy shared gardens. Pad through to the welcoming lounge area and sink onto the plush sofas with a well-earned drink while your tired-out pup snoozes by the fire. Grab some nibbles and plot out the perfect itinerary at the large dining table, or potter in the homely shaker-style kitchen with a fresh brew. Flop into bed in the comfortable sleeping areas, consisting of a bright double and an inviting twin. There is also a bathroom and a separate shower room for convenience. Soak in the tranquillity of the riverside gardens and watch your tufty-pawed pal snuffling in the shrubbery.
Start the day with a waterside saunter along England’s largest lake where the humans can gear up for a scenic SUP on the still waters while Fido splashes at the shore, 5 miles. Roam the stately grounds of Sizergh Castle then swing by the dog-friendly cafe for coffee and cake, 6 miles.
