Dog friendly holiday cottage, sleeps 4 - Dean, Cumbria

Situated in the village of Dean on the edge of the western Lake District, this property enjoys a tranquil and relatively secluded setting. There are numerous walking trails starting right from your doorstep, allowing you to explore the remote but breathtaking Ennerdale Valley and the Loweswater fells. A bit further away, you can take in the striking landscape of Wastwater with its views of Scafell, or head north to discover the scenic Bassenthwaite Lake.

Families can enjoy a variety of activities at Whinlatter Forest Park, which offers walking and cycling paths through the trees. Additionally, there are several nearby towns to explore, including Cockermouth (6 miles), Whitehaven on the coast (9 miles), and the popular tourist destination of Keswick (18 miles), known as the ‘adventure capital of the Lakes’ with its array of outdoor speciality shops. This charming, stylish and cosy cottage is the perfect retreat for a relaxing getaway.

As you step inside, you are greeted by a small entrance hall that leads into an inviting open-plan lounge and dining area. The lounge is warm and welcoming, featuring a comfortable seating arrangement centred around a gas fire that adds a touch of rustic charm. A Smart TV is mounted on the wall, ideal for cosy movie nights.

Adjacent to the lounge, the dining area offers the perfect space to enjoy meals, whether it's a casual breakfast or a hearty dinner. Next door, you'll find a well-equipped kitchen that boasts a sleek breakfast bar, perfect for enjoying your morning coffee or a quick snack. The kitchen is fitted with all the essentials, including modern appliances, ample counter space, and stylish cabinetry, making it easy to prepare delicious meals during your stay.

Upstairs, the cottage offers three beautifully appointed bedrooms. The master bedroom features a king-sized bed and is a peaceful haven for rest and relaxation. The second bedroom features a small double, ideal for a couple or additional guests.

The third bedroom is a charming single room with stunning views over the rolling countryside, providing a tranquil space to unwind and enjoy the picturesque surroundings. Also on the upper floor is a well-maintained bathroom, complete with a shower over the bath, perfect for a refreshing start to the day or a relaxing soak in the evening. Outside, the cottage offers a small, unenclosed front garden with a neatly lawned area and outdoor seating.

This is an ideal spot to enjoy a morning cup of tea or an evening glass of wine while taking in the peaceful village atmosphere.
