“Many thanks, we had a good stay and the Christmas tree was a nice surprise!”

- Mr Perry, December 2021
Mrs Poole October 2021

“Great house, great location, great pub.”

The house is very comfortable and well equipped, we had everything we needed in the kitchen, we loved the open fire and slept really well. It’s a very sociable house and was perfect for a family get together. The views from the house (especially the back garden) are lovely and there are some excellent walks locally. The village pub (Black Labrador) is very good but book early, it gets busy. We had a great week at Crag View relaxing, walking and eating

“General maintenance- I got an electric shock from the landing light switch !”

The shower door in the En suite does not close fully making showering difficult. We used the dryer as done a wash load . The filter was absolutely rammed thick with fluff. I we had gone out and left the dryer on I suggest that it might be a fire hazard!! Perhaps a note above the appliance might help. The dustbin was half full when we arrived. When we left, it was overflowing to the point we had to put stuff at the side of it and hope that it would be emptied

- Mrs Hutchinson, July 2021

Thank you for your feedback Mrs Hutchinson. We appreciate the time taken to send your observations which we have now discussed with the owner and our maintenance team. We haven't had any reports from previous guests with regard to the light switch. The property has passed an annual electrical assessment and it was in working order on reinspection. The owners have taken on board all the other points you have raised and will action as soon as possible. Thank you once again for your feedback and we do hope to see you again in the future.

“Had a lovely week, the cottage is ideally placed for all the surrounding attractions in the Lakes.”

The ‘Black Labrador’ is a must!!

“Crag View was simply lovely.”

It was the base for my walking holiday with a very excited black lab and was a lovely place to come back to every evening. There are plenty of walks in close proximity with some of the more famous lakes being within 30-45 minutes drive. Highly recommended

“We stayed at Crag View in Underbarrow for a week and enjoyed the time very much.”

The property was clean and well cared for. The main bed was comfortable and we had wonderful and sleepful nights. Wildlife right outside the back door was fun to watch - sheep, cows, a pair of wild pheasants. The lambs were terribly entertaining. I posted on FB more than one video of their hi-jinks while playing. We enjoyed our time there and used it as a base to go out exploring. The house is well furnished with almost everything you need to prepare meals and live comfortably. We recommend Crag View.

The property

Crag View is a beautiful family-friendly holiday cottage that sleeps 6 and welcomes dogs. Nestled in the peaceful hamlet of Underbarrow, it is just a quick walk from the delightful Black Labrador pub, renowned for a great menu. The Wheatsheaf at Brigsteer, The Punch Bowl at Crosthwaite and the Masons Arms at Strawberry Bank are all within a short drive. Crag View is a short 15 minute drive to Bowness and Kendal. Overlooking the picturesque Lyth Valley, it is also ideal for a walking holiday. There is a magnificent range of local walks to suit all abilities, from a hike over nearby Cunswick Scar (steep in places and well worth the effort) to fun walks with young children, for example the walk over Scout Scar. This is one of the 'Miles Without Stiles' walks and is suitable for pushchairs. Crag View is a cosy cottage at any time of the year. It offers a warming open fire for cosy nights in and the pretty garden is perfect for lazy summer days. Whilst staying here you'll probably be tempted out to one of superb local pubs. Along with the Black Labrador, you will also find some great local inns. The Punch Bowl at Crosthwaite and the Masons Arms at Strawberry Bank are two of the Lake District's finest. == Accomodation in detail You can park right outside on the private driveway. Access to the property is via the entrance porch which features smooth tiled flooring, a cupboard to hang coats, a washing machine, tumble dryer and loads of space to store and dry walking kit. The kitchen / diner features all mod cons and overlooks the beautiful garden. The comfy lounge offers cosy leather sofas, books, TV and a writing desk. You can access the garden through the patio doors. The outdoor space has a patio, lawn and bedded areas and attracts a whole host of wildlife. This includes many wild British birds attracted by the greenery. Beyond the garden stretches a magnificent outlook over open fields, often with sheep and lambs in season. Upstairs you will find three bedrooms; a king size en-suite, a double and a twin room. The spacious bathroom includes a shower over bath. Location Crag View is located in the idyllic hamlet of Underbarrow, close to three hubs: Windermere, Kendal and Stavely of the Lake District. It overlooks the stunning Lyth Valley, known for its blossoming damson orchards. The area is bordered by the majestic 'Scars' - mountains perfect for cyclists and keen hikers. For self-catering, Booths in Kendal stocks delicious meats, cheeses, deli items and regular groceries. Alternatively, you can order in deliveries for your arrival as all the main supermarkets deliver to the property. There are several lovely local pubs and inns to discover: the afore mentioned Black Labrador is a short walk away and is dog friendly. There are wonderful local walks directly from the property such as the ascent of White Scar or Scout Scar. Or you may chose to travel further into the Lake District and catch the local car ferry with daily crossings from Bowness to Hawkshead. From here you can access many walks; Claife Heights is popular or slightly further a field to Latterbarrow.If you are feeling adventurous you may choose one of the spectacular Lake District High Fells. For keen golfers, Beckside Golf Course is a 3 minute drive from the cottage and Windermere Golf Club is 10 minutes away. If tennis is your thing, courts are available to book at Windermere Queens Recreation ground.

About the location

UNDERBARROW

Kendal 5 miles; Windermere 7.5 miles.

Underbarrow is a quiet, pretty Lakeland village close to the historic market town of Kendal and within reach of the wonderful Lake Windermere. The village has a pub and is ideally placed for exploring southern Lakeland and the Lake District National Park. Sizergh Castle and Levens Hall, both with fine gardens, are nearby, and Kendal has much to offer in terms of shopping and is quite lively culturally, thanks to the Brewery Arts Centre and the Abbot Hall Art Gallery and Museum, which is widely recognised as one of the best in the region. Also worth a visit is the ruin of Kendal Castle, which was formerly the home of Katherine Parr, and there’s plenty to see and do with Grange-over-Sands, Cartmel, Ulverton, Bowness, Ambleside and even the Yorkshire Dales National Park within driving distance. Underbarrow is a lovely base for exploring the area.
