1 / 18Poppy's Nook
Grange over Sands, Cumbria
A five star cottage for three on the elevated side of Grange over Sands, two dogs welcome, with a wood burner, an enclosed yard with a heater and a roll top bath.
Poppy's Nook is a five star cottage on the elevated part of Grange over Sands, on the edge of the Lake District National Park, and it welcomes three guests and two dogs. Cartmel, the foodie village with its racecourse, is just over a mile away, and this dog friendly cottage makes a brilliant base for the South Lakes.
A hallway with room for coats and boots leads through to the impressive lounge and diner, where original features sit alongside new sash windows. Cosy up in front of the wood burner after a day exploring, with the Smart TV and a dining table that seats everyone, while two dogs claim the warmth of the burner.
The stylish kitchen has everything for holiday dining, dishwasher included, and the two well designed bedrooms, a double and a single, are joined by a dressing room that doubles as an office. In the bathroom are a roll top bath and a wet room style shower. Open the kitchen doors and the enclosed yard has garden furniture and a heater for dinner al fresco, the two dogs keeping you company in the fresh air.
The scenic south Cumbrian coastline is close for day trips, and the pub, shops and beach are within walking distance. The Lake District National Park has excellent cycling and walking routes for two dogs, a lazy day afloat on Lake Windermere is a short drive away, with the Beatrix Potter attractions nearby.

Book with holidaycottages.co.ukFrequently Asked Questions
Is Poppy's Nook dog friendly?
Yes, and generously so for a cottage of its size — Poppy's Nook welcomes two dogs. There's an enclosed yard with an outdoor heater where they can get some air, and inside they'll gravitate naturally to the wood burner in the long lounge and dining room.
Are dogs allowed at Poppy's Nook year round?
The listing doesn't specify any seasonal restrictions on dogs, and nothing about the setup suggests otherwise — the enclosed heated yard and wood burner make it a practical choice whatever the weather. For certainty on dates and availability, it's worth checking directly with the property.
What should I know before visiting Poppy's Nook with my dog?
The cottage takes up to two dogs, so it's worth confirming numbers if you're bringing a pair. The bathroom handily includes a wet room shower alongside the roll top bath, which makes rinsing muddy dogs off after a morning on the sands straightforward. Eggerslack Wood is within ten minutes of the door and dogs can go off the lead there, and the quieter lanes around Cartmel Fell and the Winster valley are well suited to an unhurried walk.
