This well-presented, detached house is situated in the popular Lakeland village of Cartmel in Cumbria, offering an abundance of shops and eateries close by.
Set Fido’s nose sniffing with delight when you book a stay in gorgeous Cartmel, one of the prettiest towns in the Lake District that’s renowned for its spectacular location, popular racecourse and cheese shop. Sleeping six guests across three bedrooms with several snoozing spots for your tufty-pawed pal, this cosy cottage is charming and comfortable. Explore by day and relax by night, snuggling up by the fire with a mug of hot cocoa with your faithful friend at your feet.
Escape the blustery weather and wipe muddy paws at the door, settling down with hot drinks and treats in the charming lounge. Boasting exposed stone, timber beams and a wood burner-effect fire, it’s a wonderful spot to reflect with your pup by your side. There’s a snug with skylights for evening stargazing, and the galley-style kitchen has everything you need to prepare a feast. Upstairs, all three bedrooms are a welcome retreat for weary-pawed travellers, best enjoyed after a nightcap in the enclosed patio garden.
There’s plenty to tempt foodies beside the cheese shop when you take to the narrow streets thanks to Cartmel’s gastronomic reputation, and the scattering of independent boutiques and friendly pubs are sure to please. The countryside stretches in all directions, so grab Fido’s lead ready to navigate the rugged landscape, paddling in babbling streams and sniffing out pockets of ancient woodland. Grange-over-Sands (2.5 miles) has glorious gardens, a promenade and several eateries to peruse, but a short 13-mile drive will bring you to Bowness-on-Windermere for lake cruises. Sample delicious gingerbread made to a secret recipe in Grasmere 22.5 miles away, and visit the home of Beatrix Potter (12.5 miles).
