Take a romantic holiday to a quiet part of Cumbria. This stone studio cottage is a cosy place for a couple and their dogs to spend some quality time making memories and exploring the wonders of the Lake District. You’ll be surrounded by beautiful countryside, and you’ll be conveniently close to the market town of Appleby-in-Westmorland.

This property utilises space effectively, so you have everything you need in a compact area. The living space has a lounge with seating around the wood burner, and during the day you’ll get natural light through the French doors. You’ll get a lovely airy feel with the vaulted ceiling and cream walls, and there are some charming paintings hanging. There’s a nook for the kitchen and a small dining table, perfect for two people. You’ll have a super-king-size bed for deep, restful nights. The studio is completed by a shower room with a WC. Step outside, where you’ll find a stretching lawn enclosed by a hedge so your dogs can sniff around and enjoy while you watch from the patio table.

You’ll be staying in a great location, around 200 metres from the nearest pub. From here, natural landscapes reach in all directions. If you need supplies or fancy a spot of shopping, the market town Appleby-in-Westmorland is 2 miles away. Alternatively, take your dogs for a walk around Rutter Force Waterfall (1.5 miles) or to Stenkrith Park (10.5 miles), a lovely spot with a stream so your dogs can swim, you can paddle, and everyone can explore the woods.

Going as a walker, tourist, cyclist, or just to relax and chill, it has everything. The clear waters of the lakes and rivers means swimming for dogs and humans alike is great. Be prepared for enormous stunning beauty that leaves you feeling life cannot get any better than what nature has to offer.

A real home from home. All equipment was there and Frank and Sandra were on hand if we needed anything. The note about lighting the fire was really helpful. The New Inn about 100yards from the cottage served some wonderful home cooked food. We wanted a relaxing time and that was exactly what we got. Superb!!

Great hosts, very pleasant, helpful and knowledgeable of the area. Good location. Having a dog it was really good to have a quiet enclosed garden and walks straight from the back garden gate. Good sized fridge freezer. More suited for the warmer lighter months. It looks much lighter and spacious on the photos but may be due to us going in November.Read more Also quite cold when the wood burner not on, particularly the floor so take your warm slippers. Hide
