This wonderful property, situated in Penrith between the North Pennines and the Lake District, is perfect for you and your guests - including the four-legged ones! Sleeping four across two peaceful bedrooms and with space for up to two dogs, this holiday home is the ideal bolthole for couples or small families looking to get out and explore the countryside. Visit the stunning Aira Force waterfall (12 miles) and wander the family-friendly trails before heading back to the cosy cottage to unwind.

Whether you’re cooking up a storm in the kitchen or snuggling up in the lounge, everyone will find their place here. The stylish dining area is a great space to enjoy sociable meals, while stylish neutral decor and exposed beams in the lounge make it a cosy place to relax in; curl up on the sofa in front of the wood burner with a good book, or watch a box set on the Smart TV. Head up the stairs to a first-floor snug area with an armchair to sit and look out across the fields or move through to the bedrooms; hide away in the secret snug on the mezzanine level in the twin room and stargaze through the Velux window when night falls.

Head off for a ride on the Ullswater Steamers (13.5 miles), where you’re bound to see a host of wildlife among ancient woodland and fells. Jump on one of the family-friendly trails at Whinlatter Forest (22 miles) and learn about the wildlife or take a treetop adventure at Go Ape on site. Take a ride on the South Tynedale Railway (20 miles) through the beautiful South Tyne Valley and Pennine scenery or take a hike on the Pennine Way from the historic town of Alston (21.5 miles).
