Property code: OC-83453

Beneath its simple exterior, this cottage is brimming with characterful country style and tranquil tones to whisk you and your pups into relaxation mode right away. Boasting a fabulous location between the Lake District National Park and the Furness Peninsula, fill your days with sandy stick chasing and splash-worthy adventures. Make your way back inside from the great outdoors and settle in front of the wood burner with its dancing flames which promise to keep you warm.

Exposed beams line the ceiling in the lounge where neutral hues and cosy sofas create a serene ambience in which to curl up. There’s plenty of prime floor space in front of the wood burner for your pup to stretch out and dream of fetch and a pretty window seat where you can lose yourself in a book. Gorgeous tiles and country features invite you into the kitchen/diner, the cupboards are waiting to be filled with treats and the wine rack with tipples. Spend time dining alfresco on the raised decked area and tuck into sizzling tit bits from the BBQ as little ones and tail-wagging guests play to their heart’s content. End your night with a soak in the tub in the stylish bathroom before drifting off as your head hits the pillow in one of two gorgeous bedrooms sat over the first and second floor. Take care of low beams.

Nestled next to a tarn in the quaint village of Little Urswick, head out for exciting walks filled with new scents. With views over the water and steeped in history, Birkrigg Stone Circle is 4 miles away, as are the beginnings of the Haematite and Cumbrian Way footpaths which follow routes through spectacular landscapes. Pick up goodies from your local market town of Ulverston (4 miles) where you’ll find twice-weekly markets and thriving festivals throughout the year.

The cottage is in a great location, with lots of local dog walks. You are 5 mins by car to Bardsea Beach and 30 minutes to Bowness. We did Keswick, Tiberthwaite and cathedral caverns which were stunning. Never enough time to fit everything in, so enjoy the scenery, local pub, food in ulverston (many dog friendly) and relax.

Nice compact cottage, great underfloor heating on all floors. Really comfy beds with crisp linen plus towels Good WiFi, great smart tv, functional kitchen with adequate utensils and a wood burning oven was a bonus. The icing on the cake was a box of complimentary chocolates and a bottle of wine on arrival. A big thank you to Tom

The house was comfortable and well- presented and the owner was welcoming and helpful. The cottage is only a ten minute drive from Ulverston and there were plenty of lovely walks on our doorstep. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will hope to come again.

Great stay in a very comfortable cottage in a really good location, lots to see and do in the area. We took full advantage of the patio in the hot weather and the fact that the cottage was blissfully cool on a night was a bonus.

This cottage has everything that you could want for a comfortable stay away from home for both humans and our doggy companion. The location is ideal for the lakes, fells and some wonderful beaches (we had not expected the beaches so these were a great find). There is a pub in the village that provides good food from a basic menu but other eateries Read moreare not far away. Ulverston comes highly recommended. We found a butcher, fishmonger and a gin distillery as well as other useful shops and a market. Hide

We're both in our dotage but neither of us had any of the problems one or two previous guests seem to have had with the stairs or low beams. Beds were great, furnishings excellent and cottage itself was welcoming and homely. Owner was unobtrusively helpful.

Had a lovely weeks stay here. Cottage was clean, comfortable with all facilities. Nice enclosed garden for our Springer Spaniel. King size bed was very comfy. Stairs maybe an issue if you have mobility issues. The welcome treats were much appreciated. Good location for getting around all of the Lake District . Would recommend.
