Dobbin the horse box in The Lake District

Lovely location, good that it’s dog friendly, homely feeling, everything you needed in a small space

Small beds length wise (5ft 7 maybe?) & it was cold until you got the fire going

The views were amazing , loved all the animals in the surrounding fields , the peace and quiet is priceless, the host welcomes you on arrival and has the log burner set up for you .

The veranda could be improved ,

Nothing

Unique and special experience

Very quirky and the setting was brilliant. Kitted really well for young children. Everything was there what was needed, and the host was very friendly on our arrival. Great location for 30 min drive to Buttermer (western fells) also Keswick 30min. Obviously Cockermouth is a 5min shorter drive too.

Sleeping situation was a little tight, and claustrophobic We also had 2 small dogs with us which made it even tighter, but our own fault.

Everything

The fire was roaring when we arrived so it was lovely and warm. There was everything and more in a horse box, I didn’t realise you could fit so much in. We’ve had a lovely weekend.

There was nothing we didn’t like.

the location was so peaceful, cows sheep and horses in the field near us, the views were amazing. dobbin was so cozy and had everything we needed for our stay there the kitchen was well stocked there isn't an oven but we took our air fryer. the shower was lovely and hot and once we figured out the wifi it was perfect,, the log burner was fab and heated everywhere up quickly, the owners were lovely and helpful and gave us privacy to enjoy our time, whilst telling us to ring them if there was anything they could get us, sitting out on the decking area was lovely, lights were hanging round the trees making it magical on the nights. our dog loved it, we were allowed to walk him round the grounds of the manor which was great and he settled in really well. it is compact but we managed really well in the three nights we were there
