Located on a cobblestone street on the coastal edge of the Lake District National Park, this traditional cottage with wooden touches and country-style decor is an elegant couple’s escape which caters for a canine companion too. Spend your days exploring the crystal waters of the nearby beaches, exploring the proximal dog-friendly walking routes nearby and relaxing in the evening with a glass of wine while dining alfresco in the garden.

Make yourself at home in the bright lounge/diner with bold reds and a carpet for Fido to curl up on while you put your feet up on the sofa or sink into the armchair. Enjoy a candle-lit dinner at the antique wooden dining table after cooking something special in the neutral-toned farmhouse-style kitchen with dark flooring. Also on the ground floor is a stylish shower room. On the first floor, you’ll find the romantic king-size bedroom with a wooden beamed ceiling, pink hues and an elegant metal-framed bed. There’s also an en-suite shower room here. You’ll have use of the owner's large garden, with a patio and chairs, plus 16 acres of farmland during your stay.

Explore the local village of Ennerdale Bridge (0.5 miles), which has the lazy River Ehen running through it, a cafe and a pub. Venture further into the national park to find the Ennerdale Water (3.5 miles), which sits beside the Wild Ennerdale National Forest. Follow the walking trails to Scale Force Waterfall (6 miles), Buttermere (8 miles) and the High Stile, a mountain peak 8.5 miles away. In the opposite direction is the St. Bees Head Heritage Coast (9 miles), which is a cliff-top nature reserve with nesting birds and panoramic views of the sea.
