The place

A real wellies-and-walking sticks sort of place, where the timeless feel of farm country and the freedom of rural Cumbria will send you marching out across the hills. The spacious house has undergone a loving renovation that makes it perfect for sociable cooking and dining, with the dogs getting underfoot and the conversation flowing between rooms. If you don’t feel like cooking then you can order superb home-cooked from the owners commercial kitchen or head out to one of the many dog-friendly pubs in the area. There are great local walks and both The Dales and The Lakes are within reach, so you’ll be spoilt for choice when it comes to getting outdoors and earning that afternoon nap by the fire.

In the neighbourhood

  • Walk from the Door: Two footpaths run along Brownber Estate, the Coast to Coast footpath and the Dales High Way. Follow the on site signs, and speak to the owner for local maps as there are variety of different paths to explore
  • The Black Swan, 5-minute drive: A well-stocked bar, award-winning food, and dogs warmly welcomed – what more could you ask for? Pop in for a spot of lunch, or dinner, and try not to look under the table at the wide hungry eyes.
  • Brough Castle, 20-minutes: Explore this dog-friendly castle, once a Roman fort. Pop dogs on leads whilst in the grounds, as there can be livestock, particularly during lambing season.
  • Smardale Gill Viaduct, 20-minutes: Offering gentle old railway line routes, take the dog for a quick stroll and enjoy the phenomenal views through this dramatic valley, and be back in time to finish off the day at one of the local pubs! There can be sheep on the trails, so be sure to lead up where appropriate.
