Just like his namesake, this furry companion exudes intellect and curiosity. Nestled in the picturesque Nab Cottage, c1870, Quincey's home reflects the tranquil ambiance that inspired De Quincey's renowned works.

Steel engravings from the 19th century immortalize him alongside his autograph signature - symbols of enduring brilliance. In the idyllic surroundings of Nab Cottage Ambleside within Lake District lies a testament to both man and dog alike - a place where creativity thrived amidst serene landscapes. Here at Quincey's side is where we find solace from life's chaos while embracing the spirit of exploration that defined them both.
