Surround yourself in Cumbrian splendour at this luxurious cottage sitting on a complex of peaceful farm properties in the breathtaking North Pennines National Landscape. Sleeping four people across two bedrooms and welcoming two canine companions, it's perfect for families or groups of friends who are looking for a characterful country retreat to call home while they discover Cumbria with their pups by their side. Set off for walkies at Talkin Tarn Country Park, or follow the trail up to Carrock Fell to take in the sweeping panoramic views. In the evening, come home to share a BBQ dinner on your deck before you indulge in a luxurious dip in the hot tub while your pups roam freely in the enclosed garden.
Pull into your private parking spot (there’s room for two cars) and step inside your rural retreat. Traditional country styling, exposed beams and a wood burner create a wonderfully welcoming scene in the spacious lounge/diner. Head to the Shaker-style kitchen and whip up your favourite dishes to share at the dining table. Or make your way out into the enclosed south-facing garden, fire up the BBQ and dine alfresco on the deck. Afterwards, treat yourself to a soak in the hot tub, or head to the lounge area to catch up on your favourite shows while your pups snooze happily at your feet. Upstairs, you’ll find two charming bedrooms tucked away under the sloping roof - a super-king-size and a king-size. A family bathroom with a bath and a shower over completes the layout.
In the morning, head to the local leisure club and enjoy complimentary use of the indoor swimming pool, gym, sauna, steam room and Jacuzzi. Or set off for walkies along the waterside trail at Talkin Tarn Country Park (2 miles) and keep an eye out for the resident red squirrels darting through the trees. History lovers should follow the path to Hadrian's Wall (2.5 miles), where a dramatic stretch of this iconic Roman landmark makes for a spectacular dog-friendly walk.
