About this property
Tunstall 1.1 miles. Tucked away in the hamlet of Burrow near Tunstall in Lancashire is Woodbine Cottage, an 18th century, stone-fronted dwelling. Closely located near the Yorkshire Dales, Forest of Bowland, and the Lake District National Park, whilst complete with an enclosed garden, a homely interior, and a well-equipped kitchen/diner, this lovely abode welcomes families and couples to enjoy a rural escape; four guests are accommodated. Park up to the rear before entering the home, where you'll find plenty of character throughout, such as original feature windows, exposed beams, and a rustic open fire in the sitting room; sink into the sofas with a good book or a film on the TV! The farmhouse-style kitchen/diner with beautiful, tiled flooring has seating for four guests to share a meal together, which can be prepared with ease thanks to the electric oven, induction hob, microwave, and fridge with ice box. After the day's adventures, keep on top of your washing with the helping hand of the washing machine, before refreshing in the ground-floor bathroom, housing both a bath and shower over. Catch some rest in one of two spacious bedrooms, including a double and a twin. Awaken to explore the rear garden, complete with plenty of lawn space for games, picnics, and enjoying a cold beverage in the summer house, plus a shed to store your bikes and outdoor gear! Beyond Woodbine Cottage, visit the hamlet of Burrow, home to the popular Highwayman pub serving classic British meals when you fancy a break from the kitchen, but for more amenities, Kirkby Lonsdale is a short drive away with a supermarket, Kirkby Lonsdale Brewery, and lovely walks along the River Lune. Here you can start your Yorkshire Dales adventure with guided tours of Ingleborough Cave, picturesque waterfalls, walking trails, and hikes up Whernside, the highest of the Yorkshire Three Peaks, all nearby! The Forest of Bowland AONB lies south of the cottage, a popular choice for walking and cycling through unspoilt landscapes, recommended to pack your walking boots for. Head to the nearby market towns of Carnforth and Milnthorpe for a variety of shops and eateries, just outside the Arnside & Silverdale AONB, sure to please wildlife lovers and birdwatchers, whilst the little ones will love meeting the animals at Lakeland Wildlife Oasis! You could also spend the day in Lancaster, Settle and Overton, or explore Ingleton and its breath-taking waterfalls trails and caves. An unforgettable holiday in the great outdoors awaits at Woodbine Cottage.
Three miles from Kirkby Lonsdale and the "famous" Devils Bridge, Tunstall is a small community in the Lune Valley that features classic stone-built homes, a Grade I listed church, and the Lunesdale Arms, a renowned bar and good restaurant. The Highwayman Inn, one of a collection of upscale pubs owned by famous chef Nigel Haworth, is only a mile away. Between the Yorkshire Dales and the Lake District, close-by Kirkby Lonsdale is located in the Lune Valley's core.

I wouldn't stay again as having to go down the steep stairs in the night to use the toilet was tricky Too many wardrobes for a short stay. Also there's room for a super king bed or at least a kingsize bed in the front bedroom. Back bedroom was ok. Kitchen was fine (apart from the tin opener which really didn't work). Lounge was ok. Garden was nice but totally wasted on us as we had to go outside every time we let the dogs out but I understand there's not alot can be done about that. It was pretty clean but loads of cobwebs hanging in the bathroom from the ceiling.

. comfortable beds, lounge spacious and comfy. Not comfy sitting in the garden, could do with comfy garden chairs. good garden for dogs, but cant be let out alone, as drive separates the garden and cottage. Pub fabulous, area great for exploring.

We didn't really use the living room much as it smelled musty and there was no way of getting rid of it as the only window in the room didn't open (feature of a cottage I guess). The biggest disappointment was the outside space which was overgrown and not well maintained. This had a big impact on our stay as we booked it based on the views from the garden. The pictures on the website suggest a clear view over country fields when in fact the actual views are obscured by overgrown shrubs and trees. The bottom of the garden overlooks a cow shed which is piled 30foot high with dung. Unfortunately due to the overgrown trees the majority of the garden is kept in shade most of the day. Summer house was bady mantained and faced towards the house which is peculiar. Outside furniture needed a deep clean from winter months which we did in order to be able to use. No local walks for the dogs as the cottage is on main road and is quite busy. The pub opposite was OK to have a drink in but forget it if you intend to eat here each night because it is an award winning restaurant with award winning prices.
