    “A gorgeous property in a wonderful location.”

    I can't fault Jeannie and Logan for their attentiveness and the occasional surprise top-up of eggs from their rescue hens. It is a remote location, but a short drive to Kendal which has large shops and a few takeaways. It is a good location to see the southern side of the lakes, but a bit too far for long hikes in the north of the national park, e.g. Buttermere and beyond.

    I can't fault Jeannie and Logan for their attentiveness and the occasional surprise top-up of eggs from their rescue hens. It is a remote location, but a short drive to Kendal which has large shops and a few takeaways. It is a good location to see the southern side of the lakes, but a bit too far for long hikes in the north of the national park, e.g. Buttermere and beyond. However, there are some really nice walks up the nearby valleys. It is worth noting that there is a narrow bridge to navigate approaching from one side and narrow single track lanes from the other. The property is an old corn mill, so has so much character and the coal-powered Aga was fun to experiment with and was like stepping back in time. There were lots of large baking trays, but not many small ones, in an otherwise well-equipped kitchen.

The property

Mill Cottage is a grade II listed Lake District cottage ideally located to enjoy the Lakes with a wealth of traditional features including an Aga and open fire.

This is one of our dog friendly cottages in the Lake District. Exuding an air of peace and tranquillity, Garnett Bridge is a hamlet which is situated at the foot of the beautiful and unspoilt Longsleddale Valley just four miles north of Kendal and eight miles east of Windermere and all its amenities.

As you would expect from such a location there are ample walking and cycling opportunities for the door in and around Longsleddale (also known as Greendale to Postman Pat). This fine Grade II listed Lakeland cottage, originally the home of the local miller, oozes charm and character.

Mill Cottage, in its historic setting, is the retreat that everyone dreams of, with an abundance of oak beams, flagstone floors, AGA, together with an open fire all help to make this a cosy cottage suitable for a break at any time of year.
