With far-reaching views of the sea and Scottish mountains, this property promises the perfect base for any family or group of friends eager to explore the lesser travelled side of the Lake District.

Explore the coastline and the countryside from this converted 17th-century barn which hosts four family members or friends and three canine companions. Less than 3 miles from the bustling seaside resort of Whitehaven, close to the Lake District and boasting an enclosed 4.5-acre meadow, there’s plenty of opportunity to sniff out adventures from this property.

A converted barn that combines tradition with stylish and contemporary features. On the ground floor there is a handy utility space for hanging up coats, placing muddy boots and storing the dogs’ leads and towels. Head upstairs to the bright and airy open-plan living space. Cook dinner for everyone in the practical kitchen which has either a breakfast bar or a dining table to eat at. Cosy up in the lounge in front of the warming wood burner. Let the dogs snooze away the day by your feet while you watch a film or play games together. Down on the lower ground floor, you will find the two bedrooms and family bathroom, as well as access to a patio. Outside is the real winner of this property. There is a huge 4.5-acre meadow, ideal for dog walking. There are benches to enjoy views across the Solway and sunsets.

The nearest pub and shops are less than 1 mile away, and you will have many walking routes to explore nearby. Whitehaven is a fantastic seafront town with a pretty marina and a wide range of dog-friendly pubs and restaurants. Enjoy St. Bees Heritage Coast (6 miles), a dramatic headland that offers up cliff top walks and magnificent views. Find a new leash of life at Lake District National Park (6 miles) and spend your days exploring waterfalls, mountains and lakes.

What a lovely place to stay! The cottage was cosy and warm. We were especially pleased with the refreshments and freshly baked biscuits on our arrival.

I realise it is a dog friendly cottage, however dog hair was everywhere! On your plates, in the fridge and freezer, over the dinner table, all over the floor, under, on and around the various rugs/mats on the floor. Before unpacking I ran the hoover around.

We had a wonderful and well needed break, staying at Goosegreen Barn. The accommodation was excellent, a lovely location only a short drive away from the beaches of the west Cumbrian coast, including St Bees and a slightly longer (45 minutes) journey by car to explore the fantastic scenery of the western lakes, such as Wast Water and Ennerdale. At Read morethe barn we also had access to a large private meadow area in which to walk our dog in the morning and evening; she loved it. Will definitely return! Hide
