Cottage in Cumbria

About this property

Just a few miles to the east of the glorious expanse of Windermere, this characterful property has been thoughtfully and lovingly updated to offer bright, cosy and fresh accommodation for four guests.

Midway between Kendal and Windermere (both 5 miles), the historic village of Staveley makes a wonderful base for exploring the south eastern fringes of the Lake District. Staveley has a number of great places to eat and drink, including a pub, brewery, cafes and an ice cream parlour, and makes a handy stop along the Dales Way. The villages of Windermere and Bowness (6 miles) sit on the edge of the lake and are home to attractions including The World of Beatrix Potter, Windermere Jetty Museum and Brant Fell Viewpoint, with plenty of activities to take part in including kayaking, canoeing and boat cruises. Heading into Kendal, attractions include the medieval castle ruins and the popular Brewery Arts Centre. Entering this characterful and stylishly updated cottage, the porch is useful for leaving coats and boots, and has a hot and cold doggy shower for washing muddy paws. Inside the cottage, the dining room provides a sociable spot for enjoying a meal or for planning the day s adventures.
