A self-catering stay where families, couples, and pets all feel at home
Lovelady Shield Cottages are in Cumbria, close to Alston and the North Pennines, and only a short drive from the Lake District. We offer six Cumbrian cottages where guests can enjoy self-catering holidays in a quiet countryside setting. Each holiday cottage has everything you need for a short break or a longer stay, with space for couples, families, or group accommodation.
If you’re planning Lake District holidays, our cottages are a great base to explore walking trails, local villages, and popular UK holiday destinations. For guests who like extra comfort, we also have cottages with hot tubs, perfect after a day outdoors.
Our cottages are dog-friendly accommodations, so pets are welcome to join your stay. With cottages that welcome dogs, there’s no need to leave your four-legged friend at home. Many visitors choose our pet-friendly cottages because of the easy access to paths, open spaces, and dog-friendly pubs nearby.
Whether you want a simple self-catering accommodation for a weekend, hot tub holidays with friends, or family breaks in the countryside, Lovelady Shield offers a range of Cumbrian cottages that fit different plans.
