Everything you could possibly need is there. Lovely bedding and towels and kitchen with all the utensils. It is close to lots of things to do also. This was our second visit and we will be back!

Mrs Smith October 2020

“The house was so clean, comfortable and welcoming.”

Mary, the owner gave us lots of information before our visit and assured us she was on hand if needed (we didn't).We felt safe in these difficult times and enjoyed being able to some time out. Arnside was beautiful as always, it was so good to be able to walk everyday from the door, exploring the coast path and woods.

- Mrs Smith, October 2020

- Mrs Florence, August 2019
Mrs Wadsworth July 2019

“Lovely cottage, nice walk down to the bay.”

Arnside is a beautiful area for walking, either strolling or serious walking. There are two very good pubs which do food and allow you to take dogs in. There is also the best chip shop ever! Even if there is a queue it is well worth the wait.

- Mrs Wadsworth, July 2019

Mr Fisk March 2019

“Cottage was completely as shown and very well equipped.”

It was just perfect for us - we walked everyday from the door in the beautiful local area - the car was only needed for a trip to Booths! We were comfortable and cosy! Highly recommended!

- Mr Fisk, March 2019
Ms Stokell February 2019

For any person who has possible mobility or health/age related issues the hill would be problematic.

- Ms Stokell, February 2019
Mrs Rowlands October 2018

About the location

ARNSIDE

Kendal 10 miles; Windermere 17 miles.

Arnside is situated on the southernmost tip of the Lake District in a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, where low limestone hills, marshy plains and deciduous woodlands characterise the surrounding land. This former fishing port has retained many of the features from its past. The beautiful pier and port areas of the village offer stunning views across the Kent Estuary, as well as providing an enduring reminder of Arnside's illustrious history. To the south of the village are the 15th century Pele Towers, which were constructed to defend against the marauding Scots. The local surrounding area is a nature lover's paradise with stunning limestone pavements and wonderful woodland walks through countryside alive with rare plants, trees and wildlife. The internationally renowned Leighton Moss RSPB Reserve is also just one mile away. Guided walks across the Kent Estuary are available, showing the full splendour of the shore and surrounding area. Within easy touring distance are the Lake District and Lune Valley, the Yorkshire Dales and the Forest of Bowland.
