Luxury styled pod, perfect for a romantic escape with private hot tub and stunning fell views.

Whisk your loved one away for a romantic escape to the Lake District with your tufty-pawed sidekick at your heel. After days exploring the Adventure Capital, chasing sticks and summiting peaks, soak the night away in the hot tub and admire spectacular views of Blencathra whilst your pup enjoys a tail chase and a tasty treat.

One of three gorgeous cabins separated by a drystone wall and planting, step inside and make yourself at home right away. The wooden interior, quirky sloping ceiling and cosy furnishings create a welcoming ambience and bring handfuls of charm and character to the lovely space. The snug open-plan living is perfect for couples and means you can keep an eye on your pup from the comfort of the sofa. Relax in front of the Smart TV or rustle up treats in the kitchen area where you’ll find all you need to cook date nights dinners and tit bits which can be savoured inside or out. After dinner, bubble in the private hot tub before stroking your dog goodnight and slipping into the comfortable double bed. Wake to fell views and freshen up in the shower room before heading out to explore.

A fantastic location for avid adventurers and those with tails, make the 4-mile trip to Keswick via a viewpoint stop-off at Castlerigg Stone Circle. Eateries, attractions and shops line the vibrant streets and with dog-friendly cruises crossing Derwentwater from the local marina, hop aboard to make a splash. Stop off at Lodore Falls (8.5 miles away on land), summit Catbells for panoramic views (8.5 miles on land) and visit Derwent Isle or hire your own paddleboards and explore. Whet your appetite with a delicious meal in Keswick or in Threlkeld which is just 1 mile from your door.

A really lovely cabin, ideal for a weekend away. It was clean, well equipped and beautifully furnished. The hot tub was great and very secluded. The bathroom was clean and the shower was hot with good pressure. We had a lovely couple of nights here and I would really recommend it.

We had a lovely stay at the cottage. The hot tub is very private and the location is perfect. The view is also absolutely stunning and everything was clean. The only negative thing was the mattress and sadly that's quite a big factor. As soon as we walked in, we could tell it had a dent in the middle, it needs replacing. We got back pain from sleepRead moreing on it for 4 nights and for the price of the cottage this was rather disappointing. However, once the mattress is replaced the place is perfect! Hide
