Spacious, property with high ceilings, a cosy wood burner and finished to a high standard throughout. Lots of wildlife to watch in the garden and the beautiful Solway coast just a short drive away.

Explore the Lake District National Park and Solway Coast from this romantic retreat for couples and a four-legged friend. With plenty of space both inside and out, pups will delight in exploring this stunning property while owners snuggle up beside the roaring wood burner or enjoy a glass of wine in the private garden.

Inside, this countryside annexe has been beautifully modernised to provide spacious and stylish areas to relax and unwind after busy days exploring with the dog. While the chef of the couple rustles up romantic meals for two in the chic contemporary kitchen area, partners can enjoy a glass of wine at the breakfast bar. After meals, retire to the double-height lounge to cosy up in front of your favourite movie on Netflix while your four-legged friend keeps warm in front of the wood burner. Whether you prefer a revitalising shower in the morning or an indulgent soak in the tub after a long walk, the spa-like bath/shower room is a calming sanctuary and an additional en-suite shower room will leave nobody waiting their turn. A king-size bedroom with wonderful rural views overlooks the lounge. Outside, the small private garden is perfect for al fresco dining with your loyal companion.
