Escape to the Lake District with your loved ones and four-legged friend when you choose this charming country cottage in Pooley Bridge. Sitting at the northern tip of beautiful Ullswater, find a host of wonderful scenic walks on the doorstep around the lake, to the surrounding fells, finishing off with a hearty meal at one of the local dog-friendly pubs. After action-packed days, return to this lovingly restored cottage to cosy up beside the wood burner or play a game of fetch in the evening sunshine in the south-facing enclosed garden.
Inside, this delightful property offers the perfect blend of old and new, with exposed ceiling beams, fresh modern decor and sociable open-plan layout. Keen cooks will delight in rustling up delicious hearty meals at the range-style oven in the country-chic kitchen area, before tucking in at the large farmhouse table. After long walks with the dog, dry off wet paws and boots in the handy utility room, which opens onto the garden. Afterwards, fire up the wood burner and settle in for an evening of TV or games in the inviting lounge area, or indulge in a long hot soak in the free-standing bath upstairs. Also on the first floor are three beautifully styled contemporary bedrooms: two doubles and one king-size, all with en-suite bath or shower rooms. Outside, the large lawn and gravel garden offers plenty of space to play, dine and relax.
Located in the pretty village of Pooley Bridge, you and your four-legged friend will be spoilt for choice when it comes to memorable walks through the local area. Follow the 20-mile trail around the edge of Ullswater Lake, stopping off for a bite to eat at one of the dog-friendly pubs and cafes along the way. Or get closer to the water with a ride on one of the famous Ullswater Steamers, which welcome dogs on board too. For more of a challenge, tackle nearby Fairfield Peak (11 miles) or Helvellyn (10 miles) to be rewarded with spectacular views - and maybe a treat or two - at the top.
