Within easy reach of the western fells as well as Cumbria’s coastline, this cosy cottage is also 5 miles from the bustling market town of Cockermouth which has independent shops, tearooms and eateries aplenty.
Treat yourselves to a dog-friendly stay in Cumbria at this comfortable cottage in Little Clifton, where your canine companions are welcome to join you. The two-bedroom holiday home sleeps three guests and two furry friends, and benefits from an enclosed, sunny rear garden. From your semi-detached base, make forays into the Lake District, which begins just 3 miles away, or head approximately 3.5 miles to pick up a section of the 180-mile-long Cumbria Coastal Way.
Call your happy hounds into their new abode and let them explore. Light the wood burner in the lounge during the colder months then cosy up beside it with your best furry friends. Find your favourite programme on the TV, read your holiday novel and give your happy hounds the attention they deserve. Find everything you need in the kitchen to help you prepare meals with your own ingredients; there is also a washer/dryer for damp doggy blankets and towels. Open the door in here on warm days so you and your furry pals can amble outside. Climb the stairs at the end of each exciting day to a double bedroom and a single. The family bathroom is also up here. Treat yourself to a cup of coffee out in the garden in the morning while the pups explore; light the BBQ outside in the evening. Parking is on the quiet road close by, subject to availability.
Venture 9 miles from the cottage to spend the day at serene Crummock Water in the Lake District. Watch tails wag when you embark upon an 8.5-mile route all the way around the lake. Take a detour of 0.5 miles to climb up to see Scale Force Waterfall. Drive 14 miles to the edge of Lake Buttermere for an easier 4.5-mile circular loop around the water here.
