Description

This former Bobbin Mill is now a converted Lakeland cottage on the banks of the river tucked away down a quiet country lane, yet only 5 miles from Windermere with a wealth of amenities. With complimentary leisure club the cottage is sure to appeal to both couples or a family alike.

Starnthwaite Ghyll is a riverside hamlet converted from the former Bobbin Mill and is now a traditional Lakeland built group of cottages and apartments on the banks of the River Gilpin with extensive lawned gardens. There is walking from the door following the path of the river from where you can appreciate the abundance of local bird and wildlife. This is a great area for cycling through the Lyth Valley, known for its damsons, and through the country lanes.

The Bobbin Mill is in a rural location, tucked away down a quiet country lane, but less than a mile from the picturesque village of Crosthwaite with renowned Punch Bowl Restaurant which was voted Michelin British pub of the year and church. Windermere with a wealth of attractions and amenities is 5 miles away. The cottage is well equipped to suit two couples or a family group looking for accommodation in a peaceful haven but with facilities close by.

The accommodation is centrally heated and comprises: Open plan lounge/dining/kitchen with pay phone, widescreen TV including Freeview channels, DVD player, video and music Centre. Kitchen with electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge/freezer, dishwasher and washer/dryer. First floor: Master double bedroom overlooking the river. Twin bedroom.

Cottage was nice, but it was too far out for us.

Nothing around not even a shop, had problem with the shower packed in and we had no hot for 2 days water as well apart from that it was okay.

Lovely cottage in an idyllic location.

The cottage was very clean and maintained to a high standard. Our 9 year old's description is that it was very cosy! The cottage had everything we needed. Our hosts Sue and Gary were very welcoming and communicative. It's a great base to the Lake District.
