Property code: 75286

A stunning barn conversion located in the South Lake District, with private 8 seater hot tub, balconies from two rooms and unspoilt views of the Duddon Estuary and surrounding countryside in all directions.

Surrounded by rolling hills and open skies, this stylish barn and stables dating back to the 1700s is the ideal destination for friends and family (including four-legged members!) seeking a rural retreat in the Lake District National Park. A bridle path runs from the end of the garden to the Coniston Fells for long rambles through the stunning landscape. Enjoy games of chase and doggy paddles at Silecroft Beach (12 miles) where pups can play on the expansive sands all year round.

From the moment you step into this remarkable property, you will be barking with joy at the spacious accommodation and incredible views across the countryside. Gather around the elegant dining table after cooking up a storm in the kitchen. Unwind in the welcoming living room with wood burner enjoying the views from the large windows. The old annexe, now part of the main building, has an additional open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, offering flexible accommodation. Heading upstairs there are four well-appointed bedrooms and a mezzanine level with a double sofa bed suitable for younger guests. Outside, soak in the indulgent hot tub while your hound explores the enclosed garden.

With walks through the Lickle Valley straight from the doorstep, your cottage’s location is not to be sniffed at. Take the lead along Broughton Moor (3 miles) cooling your paws in the pretty stream and spotting the abundant wildlife. Climb the Old Man of Coniston (8 miles) for panoramic views across the lakes. Set sail across the beautiful Coniston Water (11 miles) aboard the Steam Yacht Gondola with your canine companion at your side. Further afield, the Lakeland towns of Ambleside (16 miles), Windermere (17 miles) and Bowness (25 miles) are well worth a visit.

The property is set in a beautiful location, ideal for those seeking peace and tranquility which is presumably the key element in the costly rental.

Our party of 7 had a fabulous week in this stunning location. The house is fantastic, very clean, and the views to the sea are amazing. We all loved the hot tub - elemental when raining!
