Experience the great outdoors in Cumbria when you and your pack stay at this beautiful countryside cottage in the picturesque hamlet of Cartmel Fell. Sleeping up to six guests and two dogs, your adventurous group can muddy your boots and paws climbing the many breathtaking hiking trails and fells nearby: Coniston Old Man, Langdale Pikes and Scafell Pike are all within reach.

Surrounded by natural beauty and lush green fields, this outstanding property with exposed beams is brimming with character. Following a fresh, brisk walk with your four-pawed pal, towel-dry your dog in the outer kitchen before heading through the utility area and into the spacious main kitchen with a Rayburn cooker. Leave the cook of your group to rustle up some doggy treats and a feast of your favourite foods as you settle for the evening in the cosy living room. Your pup will soon be snoozing by your feet as the wood burner crackles and you relax on the sofa. When it’s time for bed, head to one of three bedrooms for a restful night’s sleep: a king-size room with breathtaking views to the fells, a bunk bedroom and a twin. In the morning, enjoy a lovely hot cup of coffee outside in the seating area and listen as the birds sing their dawn chorus.

Enjoy an active day out at lake Windermere, 7 miles away, which has kayaks, SUPs and canoes for hire. Arnside and Silverdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty can be reached in just 14 miles and boasts the beautiful Far Arnside Beach, which is the perfect dog-walking spot.

Lovely cottage with a stunning aspect, away from neighbours. Basic inside, but that was perfect for us as we have kids and dog, so simpler the better. It was very clean and beds comfy. The aga took a bit of navigating but it kept the place warm and the top oven cooked a pizza fine. Great for quick drying of socks too! We did take a slow cooker withRead more us to assist with cooking. Views around were beautiful and it was so quiet apart from distant sheep and cows. Would definitely go back. Hide

The house and its amenities were as advertised. It's certainly not a super-modern house, but it has its charm. The surroundings are fantastic, and the people who work and live nearby are friendly. Many tourist villages are nearby: 20-25 minutes. We stayed in the summer, so we didn't really experience the cold, and I think there's plenty of heating,Read more and the stove works well (not ideal for a quick meal). We enjoyed our stay! Hide

This house is in a beautiful area. Although close to hotshots, it is peaceful and feels remote. The house is great for dogs, and we have 2 big ones! Don't worry about the narrow entrance. We have a pretty big pickup, and whilst tight we got it in ok.

A very homely cottage which on colder days is very cosy with the Range oven on. A little tired in places but we had a comfortable time here. Views are lovely and nice to see the cows straight out of the bathroom window.

We spent 3 weeks in Bridge house, and we really appreciated it. We felt at home at the minute we opened the door. The house is cosy, cleaned, welcomed, and with heart (sorry for our english). That is what we want when we go abroad, to touch the authentic. Adults, children and dogs, we leave it with regrets :). Also, the house is very well located Read moreto explore the whole Lake District, the beach, the coast, and even the Yorkshire. We recommend it. Certainly our best holidays. Hope to come back! Hide
