It’s not really a break without your waggy-tailed pal, and with space for up to three dogs, this property is perfect for two humans and a mini pack of pups. You’ll be based in an idyllic village, and a short 4-mile drive will bring you to historic Kirby Lonsdale with its cobbled streets and array of eateries. Barbon has the added vantage point of being positioned on the cusp of the Yorkshire Dales National Park and is just 15.5 miles from the Lake District too.
Forming part of a wing of a Georgian property situated on a working farm, your attractive abode has lots of period features such as beamed ceilings and an attractive stone exterior. Climb the steps and scamper inside to find a bright and spacious kitchen/diner with all the contemporary conveniences you need for cooking up some treats. Steps lead down to the lounge, a comfortable room to relax in whether you are watching TV or simply enjoying the ambience with a glass of wine. After a long day, there’s nothing nicer than resting your weary bones in the bath then snuggling up in your king-size bed for a restful night’s sleep.
Water sports, fell walking and challenging hill climbs are all possible from your doorstep, whether you are sniffing out adventures close by or hopping into the car to delve deep into the countryside. Kendal, 15 miles away, acts as the gateway to the Lake District, so once you have browsed the bustling streets, there are exciting walks to enjoy. Lake Windermere (26 miles) is an iconic destination for cruises on the water and some seriously impressive views. The Arnside and Silverdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty is another excellent place to visit with your pup.
