The Old Police House - a cottage that sleeps 6 guests in 3 bedrooms

The Old Police House is a beautiful 3-storey property situated in Cowan Bridge, just 2.5-miles from Kirkby Lonsdale and 4-miles from Ingleton where you will find the popular White Scar Cave and the Ingleton Waterfall Trail.

This Yorkshire Dales self-catering property dates back to 1850 to its former life as the village police house. More recently it has been refurbished throughout to provide a large living room with a log-burning stove, three spacious bedrooms, a large family bathroom complete with a roll-top bath, and a fantastic kitchen surrounding the dining table. A Rangemaster cooker, with a double oven, is fitted into the former fireplace. The back door from the kitchen leads to the lovely courtyard garden with a feature stone wall and outdoor garden furniture.

This is a perfect holiday location with both the Lake District National Park and the Yorkshire Dales National Park within easy reach. Two well-behaved dogs are welcome too!

About The Location
Cowan Bridge is a small rural village with an excellent general store & newsagents and a café/ tearoom. The award-winning four-rosette Hipping Hall Restaurant is just a 2-minutes drive away. If you fancy spoiling yourselves, then this is a great treat. Head Chef Oli Martin is well known and hugely respected.

The beautiful and historic market town of Kirkby Lonsdale is 2.5-miles away and full of small independent shops, cafes, pubs and restaurants. The town benefits from a Booths supermarket and a traditional market every Thursday selling local produce! On the first week of September, the town hosts a Victorian fair with a friendly street vibe.

You can walk to Kirkby Lonsdale from the cottage or park (for free) at Devil's bridge (just before the turning to Kirkby Lonsdale and a beautiful picnic spot!). There is a lovely dog-friendly walk along the River Lune to the "Radical Steps", stone steps that take you up into St Mary's churchyard. From here you can see ‘Ruskin's view' and walk through the churchyard to the town centre - it's lovely to walk!

To the East is Ingleton. If you love adventure and the great outdoors, you will love the charming village of Ingleton. The Ingleton waterfall trail has some of Englands most stunning scenery with a mix of waterfalls, rocks, woodland and farmland. There are some great pubs in Ingleton, and it's only 5 miles from one of the Yorkshire three peaks!

All in all, this is a fantastic holiday cottage in a great location! Perfect for a family holiday.
