Cragg House Farm Holiday Cottage
Cragg House Farm Holiday Cottage is a perfect, dog-friendly, base for outdoor activities such as walking, fishing and climbing or more leisurely nature watching, sight-seeing or just relaxing. The living area of the holiday cottage (comprising double bedroom, lounge/dining room, kitchen and bathroom) is situated as a self-contained apartment in the west wing, on the first floor of the farm house. This gives fantastic views over the garden to Whiteless Pike from the bedroom and lounge/ dining room. Although fully self contained, the apartment is accessed by the main staircase, shared with your hosts, Alister and Rach.
The cottage is well equipped in all areas and the rent includes all heating, electricity, linen and towels. Free off road parking for one car is also available.
The cottage is non-smoking and we welcome well-behaved pets.
Dog Friendly: We welcome well behaved dogs and just request that you keep them on a lead whilst on the farm and that you tidy up any mess they make and dispose of it in the suitable waste bins located in the farmyard. We provide a handy poo-bag dispenser on the inside of the door to the barn. We do have exterior kennels available should you wish to leave your dog for a few hours or would like to bring working dogs on holiday with you.
