Pretty terraced cottage near the town with independent shops, cafes and restaurants. Situated between the Lake District National Park and the Yorkshire Dales this is the perfect retreat for families.
This quaint property, situated just 13 miles from popular town Kendal, is the perfect bolthole for the entire family – including the four-legged members! Sleeping four across two cosy bedrooms, it won’t be long before you’re up and about exploring the thriving market town of Kirkby Lonsdale and beyond. A wonderful dog-friendly pub is less than 350 metres’ walk from the cottage, or head further to Windermere (21 miles) where there are more pubs, cafes and shops that welcome your four-legged companions.
The property, which is less than 200 metres from Ruskin’s View made famous by JMW Turner’s 1822 painting, is cosy and comfortable. The kitchen has everything you need to cook up a storm for your family, while the dining area has an intimate feel to make meals special. After a long day, sink into the sofa in front of the wood burner-effect electric fire in the lounge, the hound curled up at your feet. Upstairs, the bedrooms have a fresh feel; make sure you don’t hit your head in the double room that has a dormer window and views over the fells! Back downstairs, the tiered garden is a sun trap and is the perfect space for both breakfast and dinner. Sizzle up a BBQ out here and dine alfresco.
Take in the stunning sights at the Ingleton Waterfalls Trail (7 miles) that is divided into nine areas with different geological features. Explore the stalagmites, flowstones, fossils and more at the Ingleborough Cave (12 miles) or take a stroll around the grounds of Wray Castle (28.5 miles) while the children play in the play area. Take a picnic to Fell Foot Park (22 miles) and go on an educational tree trail or even brave a dip in the lake.
