Exuding character, quirk and charm, this abode is great for get togethers in the rural Lake District with wood burners and an inviting sauna suite welcoming you home after adventures in the Kentmere Valley.

Occupying a secluded location in the Kentmere Valley, this traditional 17th-century farmhouse has been lovingly updated to make a characterful getaway for families and friends. Accommodating eight human and three canine guests, this quirky and charming property is perfect for dogs and their owners exploring the eastern edge of the Lake District. With Windermere within easy reach, this fabulous retreat features a magical garden with glorious views, a luxurious sauna room, original exposed beams and two cosy wood burners for your four-legged friends to snooze in front of.

The beautiful, character-filled lounge/diner has exposed beams, low ceilings, a wood burner, TV/DVD and a charming dining area. You can prepare your favourite dishes in the light-filled, fully equipped kitchen which has a lovely breakfast table by the patio doors. The property also has a ground-floor bathroom, a cosy snug and a sauna suite with a shower, bath and seating in a spa-style room. There are four soothingly decorated bedrooms: reached via steps from the snug, a spacious king-size room has a roll-top bath and patio doors opening into the garden. Six steps lead up to a twin bedroom, a super-king-size room and a stylish shower room. The final twin room is up some stairs from the lounge, and features a sloping vaulted ceiling. The partially enclosed garden has several seating areas, with a patio providing a perfect spot for a BBQ, as well as plenty of space for children to explore and dogs to play.

The Kentmere Horseshoe is a 13-mile walk with amazing views of this spellbinding area. Kentmere Tarn (1 mile) is ideal for a gentler stroll, and there are some lovely places to eat and drink in Staveley (4 miles). The nearest of the major lakes is Windermere (9 miles) which offers stunning walks and memorable boat trips.

In terms of location, it could be a six star rating! Fabulous position in the Kentmere valley - beautiful. The cottage was clean, homely and cosy plus well equipped for cooking / relaxing (how many cottages have a sauna?). We felt 'home-from-home' and appreciated the attention to tasteful details like soft furnishings, bedding and decor which addedRead more to the stay that we had. Just lovely! Hide

Lovely property in a stunning, peaceful location. The house is comfortable and clean. We had a couple of issues with fixtures and fittings breaking but these were quickly fixed while we were there. Close to Windermere and Kendal and also the excellent Hawkshead Brewery in Stavely.

An absolutely beautiful cottage in a wonderful location for a serene Lake District experience. Wonderful walks from the cottage and the views from the garden are perfect. The cottage is well equipped and well kept, the sauna is an added bonus to come back to after a day in the hills.
