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.

About the location

CROSTHWAITE

Bowness-on-Windermere 5 miles; Kendal 6 miles.

Crosthwaite is a small village set in the picturesque Lyth Valley, famous for its damson trees, and boasts a lovely pub known nationally for its excellent food. The lakeside towns of Windermere and Bowness are nearby, with plenty of activities, interest and entertainment for all ages. Also within easy reach is the popular market town of Kendal, an historic Lakeland town with a fine reputation for shopping. Kendal nestles on the banks of the River Kent. Its old cobbled lanes and byways branch off the attractive main street, and the stone ruins of 12th century Kendal Castle sit perched on a hill with views over the town. Both Sizergh Castle and Levens Hall with its superb Topiary Garden, are nearby, as are limestone escarpments for easy walking, offering thrilling views of the Lakeland Mountains, the Howgills and Morecambe Bay.
