Set in rural Cumbria, with a garden, quirky country-style interiors and a wood burner, this two-bedroom holiday home is perfect for a quiet, dog-friendly family escape. With the vast lakes, mountains and forests of the Lake District National Park just X miles away, you can spend your break enjoying the great outdoors. Also within reach are an array of historic attractions and the Cumbrian coast.

Enter the two-storey stone-built terraced house into the neutral-toned lounge with nature-themed art over the inglenook fireplace with a wood burner, with a heart-shaped glass panel. A comfortable sofa and an armchair sit between the quirky wooden furnishings. Continue into the green and wooden kitchen/diner to find a fitted ‘L’-shaped kitchen unit with grey countertops and chic decor. In the centre of the space is a dining table and four chairs. Also on the ground floor is a sophisticated grey family bathroom with a shower over the clawfoot bathtub. Upstairs, you’ll find a double bedroom and a characterful, plaid-patterned twin room. Outside is an enclosed garden with a central, raised flower bed and furniture.

While staying in Rowrah, you’ll be less than 0.5 miles from the local brewery and bistro as well as an alpaca walking centre.

Spinning Wheel is a wonderful location, ideally situated to let you wander out the back door into the rolling dales of Derbyshire. The accommodation has everything you could possibly need, and more, with a lovely care package on arrival, the owners have thought of everything.

He also loved the local pubs, particularly the Tickled Trout, as they gave out free doggy treats. The village has a couple of lovely pubs, and a wonderful Cafe where the chocolate brownies are to die for. Can not recommend highly enough, we will definitely book again. Hide

This cottage is wonderful in every way. The pictures are lovely but it is even more gorgeous in person!

The kitchen is really well stocked with full size appliances (including a dishwasher!), the corner sofa has a reclining option, the TV has every option available and the bedroom/bathroom feel like a 5 star hotel. The jacuzzi is incredible and makes this an even more deluxe experience. The nearby pub, The Tickled Trout, has delicious food and is a relaxing place to spend an afternoon or evening. We can't wait to return and would really recommend to any couple who wants a truly luxury and relaxing getaway. Thank you so much Lorraine and Adrian!!! Hide

Exceptional retreat in every way! Gorgeous house and garden with hot tub, overlooking stunning views. We spent our Christmas honeymoon here and didn not want to leave. Our greyhound not only loved the great walks from the doorstep but also enjoyed snuggling his bed on the underfloor heating. The owners met us on arrival with a wedding card, champagRead morene and Lindt chocolates as well as the fabulous welcome pack. We couldn't have wished for more and strongly recommend the Spinning Wheel. Hide

This is without a doubt a 5 star holiday cottage.
