Pass through the gated courtyard and enter the spacious slate floored hallway and into the sumptuous kitchen/diner which also features slate flagstone floor, beams and contemporary units, with an extensive selection of first class appliances, for all your culinary needs.

The sitting room gives access onto the south facing balcony, perfect for morning coffee or a glass of wine on those sunny summer evenings. Also on the first floor is the sizeable and stylish contemporary bathroom, featuring a smart white suite with shower over the bath, plus light and shaver point over the washbasin.The Hayloft lies on three floors, the upper level presents you with two immaculate bedrooms, both with original feature beams; a spacious master, south facing, with stylish oak furniture and a comfortable large double bed and a twin room with views across the village providing a pleasing sight to wake up to. Lindale, a small village situated in the south of The Lake District National Park, now a UNESCO World Heritage Site and just a few miles from Lake Windermere, makes the area a perfect holiday destination. Set amidst the charm of The Southern Lakes, this attractive village, with handy gastropub, The Royal Oak, makes an inspiring choice from which to enjoy the whole of this magical area. Just a few minutes drive from The Hayloft, brings you to Cartmel, a delightful village to wander around, famed for its delicious sticky toffee pudding, 12th century priory, National Hunt race meetings and gourmet restaurants. You could also visit Grange-over-Sands, a charming seaside Edwardian town.

Good location as a base for all the lakes but not a place if you do not have transport. Tight entrance to the property if you have a large vehicle. We brought all we needed and took heed from previous feedback but there was everything we needed. Short stay but enjoyed our visit.

One lamp needed a new bulb fitting. Few cobwebs about - bathroom living room and kitchen, there was even some in the cooker door!? Apart from that the decking could do with a good power wash and then staining and varnishing to improve its appearance. The place itself is ok but slightly odd configuration with the bedroom up on the top floor and the bathroom on the middle floor. Depends what you are used to I suppose.
Susan
Clean and tidy and a full stocked kitchen of utensils, which is unusual in the places we have stayed before. The cottage felt homely and we enjoyed our stay. My only small negative is that we felt a 9am check out was too early. It felt a bit of a rush getting sorted and packed to be out for that time. Oh and the hill to the pub
