A charming stone cottage with exposed stone and wooden ceiling beams is a perfect rural retreat for couples or a family with up to two four-legged friends looking for a relaxing holiday surrounded by gorgeous countryside. Nearby Silverdale is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty full of wildlife to discover. The Fairy Steps (1.5 miles) is a great walk suitable for children, and your pup will leave no stick unfetched in the woodland section.
This historic, cosy property set over two floors is full of character features, including exposed beams and stone walls. When you step through the entrance, you can leave your cares behind in this welcoming home. The lounge, with its plush sofa and armchairs surrounding the wood burner-effect electric and Smart TV, is the perfect space to relax with your hounds at your feet and plan the next day’s adventure. The dining area has a lovely oak picnic-style table and bench seating with plenty of natural light from the nearby window. The kitchen area is unobtrusive and has all the equipment you need for home-cooked favourites or treats to take out for a day of discovery. When it is time to retire to bed, head upstairs, where you’ll find a double bedroom, a twin room, and a family room bathroom. Outside, there is a private courtyard with furniture where you can enjoy your morning coffee or evening drink. A BBQ is available so you can to eat alfresco in fine weather. Walk around the shared grounds and let the hounds run around in the enclosed field.
Lakeside in the Lake District is 19 miles away, where you can walk and enjoy waterside expeditions, or head to the edge of the Yorkshire Dales National Park and the charming market town of Kirkby Lonsdale (11 miles) with its cobbled streets and Ruskin’s View, a superb viewpoint overlooking the Lune Valley. A trip to Ingleton Waterfall Trails (16.5 miles) or Holker Hall (19 miles) is sure to set tails wagging.
