The place
Set in the North Pennines AONB, you couldn’t find a better space in this region to host six for a trip away, walking dogs in the wonderful rolling hills. An hour from Carlisle and an hour and a half from Newcastle, it’s the perfect distance from the city to escape. With walks from the front door and a lovely spacious cottage all to yourselves to laze around in, you’re spoilt for choice. Whether you’re taking it easy, and enjoying what’s at your place, or going further out to explore, you’ll find a few commonalities. Either way, you’ll love breakfast al fresco with the dog, sitting down to dinner after cooking on the wood-burning stove, or finishing the day melting into the sofa with your four-legged pal, aiming your feet at the wood burner and dozing off.
