Visit to relatives who live in Kendal

10-15 mins drive to Kendal so easy to get there on major road. Well equipped accommodation. Good views across valley. Parking on site good.plenty of hot water and underfloor heating. Coarse fishing lake on site which wasn’t particularly advertised beforehand, or I may have brought some of my fishing gear!

Interesting Neighbours

Nice place, the DEN once I found it, but to be fair I probably didn’t follow the directions , what can I say? i’m a bloke. The property itself, very nice and secluded on a working farm - we had all manner of animals sharing the patio with us, chickens, roosters (no they didn’t wake us up), ducks, goats, peacocks… Enjoyed it

Ein sehr erholsames Umfeld

Die Ferienwohnung liegt auf einer Farm, auf der zahlreiche Tiere (Hühner, Pfauen, Ziegen) frei herumlaufen. Die Gegend ist wunderschön mit den Hügeln, den Seen sowie den vielen Schafsweiden. Es ist ein sehr ruhiges und erholsames Umfeld. Neben Besuchen im Lake District haben wir auch einige historische Sehenswürdigkeiten besichtigt. Insgesamt war es ein toller Urlaub.

A great stay

An excellent property, very well built and maintained. Lovely quiet situation with regular visits from ducks, rabbits, guinea fowl, pea hens and chickens. Wonderful view of the Howgills from French door windows. It is small with storage space a bit limited but that is to be expected. We would love to go back should the opportunity occur.

Lakes holiday

This cottage was very quite, the farm animals were very entertaining. The bedroom & bathroom were cosy but adequate. There was not a lot of storage space in the kitchen but it was well stocked with crockery & utensils. There Is ample parking & good supermarket shopping near at Kendal.

Amazing getaway

Amazing getaway with husband celebrating our 10year anniversary we stayed 3 nights Amazing views chickens and peacocks to wake up to every morning soo peaceful just what we needed.. Theres a fishing lake just 10minz away that was amazing aswell.. Definitely will be back The only negative thing about this cottage was the bed.. It was like sleeping on rocks.. Mattress was rock hard we woke up with bad backs.. Just needs a softer mattress.

NIce peaceful stay with the farm animals

Location was exactly what we wanted ...away from people, close to nature and friendly animals to boot. We loved the roaming chickens, pea hens and horse. We would definitely come back here again. Great as a base to visit lakes without having to stay amongst the hussle bustle.

Cute Cosy cottage Stay

Lovely cottage, in a lovely private setting. We stayed in 'The Den' and has everything you need for 2 people for a 3 night stay, could have happily stayed longer. (If you do washing on holiday then you'd need to look somewhere else). It's a super cosy cottage and was perfect for a relaxing get away. We self catered throughout our stay and thoroughly enjoyed it. Would have been great if there was a local pub or cafe to walk to but it's only a 5-10 minute car journey into Kendal, so it wasn't a spoiler! Would highly recommend staying here, I have passed the cottage details onto my friends who are hoping to visit the lakes later this year.

Home from home accommodation

It was easy to book the accomodation online. Katie was easily contacted via email and helpful with any questions. On our arrival the place was clean and very well equipped. There was limited space to put own food as every cupboard was filled with kitchen essentials. Welcome gifts of flowers, prosecco and biscuits greeted us and a box of eggs from the farm were well received during our stay. The scenery from the lounge window is breath taking and lovely to see a variety of wildlife roaming freely........peacocks, chickens, rabbits. Katie is very friendly and very welcoming and would definitely return to this farm for a holiday in the future.
