About this property

A pretty, stone-built, 300-year old, semi-detached cottage, located in a quiet backwater of the Lakeland village of Levens, just five miles from Kendal. Boasting lovely views across the Lyth Valley and Whitbarrow Scar, this Levens cottage provides ideal Lakeland accommodation. Warm and welcoming, it features a comfortable sitting room with cosy woodburner and old beams, an adjoining dining area, a well-equipped kitchen and two lovely bedrooms which all combine to provide perfect Lake District accommodation. Outside, this Levens cottage offers a spacious, raised garden area ideal for dining alfresco and watching the sun go down over the southern Lakeland Fells. This Levens cottage is ideally placed for exploring the Lake District Peninsula. The lovely old market town of Kendal is a short drive away, while Cartmel, with its famous annual horse race meetings, and the pretty coastal resorts of Arnside and Grange-over-Sands are all worth a visit. In the other direction, Kirkby Lonsdale has numerous eating places and individual shops. Lake Windermere, Bowness-on-Windermere and Hawkshead are within easy reach. This attractive village and lovely Levens cottage make an inspiring choice from which to enjoy the whole of this magical area.

Levens is a small village in Cumbria, home to Levens Hall with its famous topiary garden. Levens has amenities including a pub, post office, newsagents and general store. Perfectly placed for enjoying the Lake District, the Yorkshire Dales and the Cumbrian coast.

    Very clean comfortable cottage in a lovely area

  • Jen

    Lovely views, comfortable and in a perfect location. Village shop 5 minutes walk away that sells local produce (the cakes are amazing!) and a fish & chip van that visits on Wednesday evenings that is delicious! Would be more than happy to stay here again!

  • Phil

    It had everything we needed and the owners had obvious given a lot of thought as to what to provide. It was a stunning location and an ideal base for exploring the Lake District. We were impressed with the Village shop which had an extremely extensive stock. We would certainly like to return.
