About this property

This reverse-level cottage is situated in the vibrant village of Staveley on the edge of the Lake District National Park, providing a perfect base for a family holiday with excellent village amenities on the doorstep. As you step inside there are two bedrooms, a cloakroom and a wet room on the groundfloor with stairs leading to an open plan living area, a twin bedroom and a shower room. From the living area there are views down the village street to the fells beyond. Outside, there is a front enclosed courtyard and furniture where you can sit back and relax before heading out to explore this pretty corner of Cumbria. From the cottage you can easily explore the beautiful Kentmere valley both on foot or bicycle with routes including the Kentmere Horseshoe. The climb up Reston Scar, although steep, will reward you with beautiful views across the South Lakes. Just a stone’s throw away is Staveley Mill Yard which has a brewery, bicycle shop, a cookery school, artisan bakers and a café. There is also an excellent village pub – so it is possible you may arrive here and never move your car as everything is literally on hand. A visit to Lake Windermere is a must and this beautiful lake is just 5 miles away. From Bowness-on-Windermere you can hop on board the Windermere Steamer and cruise up the lake to the popular Lakeland town of Ambleside at the head of the lake or down to Lakeside and visit the Aquarian of the Lakes. This lovely holiday cottage makes a great base for a super, family holiday.

Staveley is situated on the eastern fringes of the Lake District National Park and offers superb access to the whole region. Kentmere Valley is just a short walk away and with the River Kent tumbling its way through the valley to Staveley, it is very popular with mountain bikers and walkers alike. Staveley Mill Yard is a former wood turning mill, which is now a thriving tourist attraction with cycle hire and outdoor shops, artisan bakery, brewery and the renowned Wilf's Cafe. This complements the excellent range of amenities in the village, which include a variety of shops, two village pubs, craft shops, a children's playground, a regular bus service and a railway station.

    Also as from previous guests the downstairs bedrooms smell a bit damp. Having said that know what to expect as 3rd.visit to Jakanori . Love the convenient situation the village shops, the surrounding area and if you don’t want to use the car the bus stop is just round the corner!

    Comfortable, clean, dog-friendly cottage, great location and perfect base for exploring the Lakes. Hawkshead Brewery, Wilf's, More bakery, Duffins, Blind Chocolatier, and the fantastic chippy are all reasons why we keep coming back. Will definitely book again soon.

    However, it was unfortunate that we arrived in the week that we had 4 days of non-stop rain, and I do mean deluge. After our trips out we were soaked to the skin and needed to get warm. We followed the central heating instructions in the manual doing everything correctly, but it would not turn on. it just reverted back to its original state. So we made do with the electric fire. But this was on a timer and as soon as we switched it on it would turn itself off after 20 minutes to half an hour or so and then we could not immediately switch it back on. So we had a major problem of keeping warm. Had the weather been more clement we would not have noticed much of these things, but unfortunately, this was not the case. When we arrived we found the fridge was on number 1 and was not working at that setting, and it was actually warm inside. However, we turned it full on to number 7 and that became adequate. This Property is excellent for Warm weather letting, but when it comes to Autumn, Winter, and January/February letting the Owners must get on top of heating problems. These comments are meant to be constructive for the Owner and are in no way meant to demean what is a beautiful and clean Property.
