Bubble in the hot tub while your best furry friend soaks up the sunshine at this beautiful Cumbrian barn. Sleeping six guests, the three-bedroom property is in a superb position for hounds and humans who enjoy spending time in nature. Situated near Castle Carrock, 5.5 miles from Brampton, it is perfect for getting out and about in the North Pennines National Landscape.
Let your delighted dog in to nose about his temporary home. The layout here has a reverse-level design to maximise the incredible views. Head up to the first floor to the lounge, with its vaulted and beamed ceiling. Light the wood burner in the corner, then sink back into the soft seating while your pal places himself on the carpet. Find a film on the Smart TV until puppy eyes start pleading for dinner. The kitchen is compact but creatively arranged so everything is at your fingertips. The dining area has a lovely Juliet balcony. Leave your contented canine here while you carefully climb the steep stairs to take in the sweeping vistas from the viewing tower on the second floor and when you go down to bed. Your twin bedroom and two super-king-sizes are on the ground floor, together with the family bathroom. One super-king-size has an en-suite shower room and the other features zip-and-link beds that can also be arranged as singles. Call your waggy-tailed friend to join you out in the garden. Fire up the hot tub to soak your muscles after long dog walks and dine on the patio on warm evenings. There is parking for three cars.
Climb Cold Fell, 8 miles away, with your happy hound. Wander along the shores of scenic Castle Carrock Reservoir, less than 0.5 miles away. Follow a section of the long-distance footpath that runs beside Hadrian’s Wall.
