1 / 16Staffield Cottage
Staffield, Cumbria
A two bedroom cottage for four in the Eden Valley hamlet of Staffield, with a private hot tub, a four poster, an enclosed lawned garden and two small or medium dogs welcome.
Staffield is a hamlet in the Eden Valley, the quiet green stretch of Cumbria between the Lake District and the North Pennines, and Staffield Cottage is a dog friendly bolt hole there for four people and two small or medium sized dogs, with a private hot tub in the garden.
The garden is a lawn, fully enclosed, with a paved patio and seats, and there are three steps within it. That is where the hot tub sits, big enough for four, and where the dogs can wander while it heats up. There is an outside toilet as well, which saves a trail of boots through the house on the way in from a muddy walk.
Indoors, the living and dining room is built round a wood burner, and the kitchen has a coffee machine for the first cup before the dogs go out. The utility room takes care of wet towels. Upstairs, the main bedroom has a kingsize four poster, the second has two zip and link singles that can become one bed, and the bathroom has a bath as well as a separate walk-in shower. It is a cottage for two couples, or a couple and two children, and two dogs who like a fire.
The villages of the Eden Valley, Kirkoswald, Armathwaite and Lazonby among them, are close, and the lanes and footpaths make good walking with a dog. Ullswater and Pooley Bridge are a short drive west, Brougham Castle and the Lowther estate are near Penrith, and the North Pennines rise to the east.
