Experience a romantic getaway with your most beloved and your four-pawed pals too, staying in this bolthole location on the edge of the Lake District’s Ullswater (1 mile). Accommodating two guests and two dogs, the whole pack will find something delightful to enjoy in this single-storey cottage on a former farm estate. Set tails wagging as you step out and enjoy morning coffee, letting man’s best friend sniff around the courtyard space whilst taking in the view and planning the day’s activities.

Wander through the enclosed courtyard to reach this converted stone cottage, attractively presented and dynamically laid out with a dine-in kitchen and a living room just next door. Despite being compact, there’s more than enough room for positioning your dog’s favourite bed to create the cosiest snooze spot, ideal as you retire to the king-size bedroom that awaits. The bathroom is an ultra-luxurious place with a bath and underfloor heating, a destination to seek out after long days of dog walks. After a sumptuous bubble bath, step into the lounge and stream a favourite film with your canine companion lovingly curled up at your side. Outside, enjoy starry nights with an evening tipple in the quaint courtyard, taking in the fabulous views of the surrounding countryside.

Whether your pup is seeking long hikes or short routes for stretching their legs, the beauty of the Lakes is all around you. A destination for walking, find Ullswater (1 mile), the Aira Force Waterfalls (4 miles) and Little Mell Fell (1.5 miles) all within a tennis ball’s throw from home. For an easy afternoon out, jump in the car and visit nearby Penrith (9 miles) where you can stroll through historic architecture, visit the market, and dip into pet-friendly pubs for a refreshment or two.

The accommodation was good, comfortable and clean. The kitchen was equipped with everything you could possibly need. The location is ideal for exploring the Lake District. Pooley Bridge is very nice with several good restaurants and pubs. Would recommend the steamer, however it does run in bad weather. There are several long walks right from the Read moredoor step.

The Bothy is in a perfect position over looking the fells, the most comfortable I have stayed in & well equipped. The host was excellent and friendly. Its a great location for walks from the door step with the dogs.

We were positively surprised by the size of the house. For two and a dog it is absolutely okay. The heigh ceilings with nice beams contribute to this feeling. The kitchen is well equipped and more than complete. The bathroom is spacious and with the floorheating it is never cold. The view from the living room/terrace on the hills of Lake District iRead mores very nice. The owner is very friendly and on arrival we found some nice treats to start our holiday. I can only recommend High House accomodation! Hide
