    “What a lovely little place!”

    Tucked away in a beautiful corner of the countryside in a great area - it made it easy for us to visit friends nearby and explore The Lakes. I have seen comments regarding the lane to the property, however, we didn’t have any issues with this and found the cottage very easy to get to. The property itself was very clean and very well maintained upon entry. The beds are incredibly comfortable, and although the kitchen may be small, you do not want for anything - it is exceptionally well stocked ...

    Tucked away in a beautiful corner of the countryside in a great area - it made it easy for us to visit friends nearby and explore The Lakes. I have seen comments regarding the lane to the property, however, we didn’t have any issues with this and found the cottage very easy to get to. The property itself was very clean and very well maintained upon entry. The beds are incredibly comfortable, and although the kitchen may be small, you do not want for anything - it is exceptionally well stocked and had everything we required. If I had to mention anything, I would suggest that the television in the living room would be drawn a little lower on the wall - it is slightly too high. However, this did not bother our stay at all. Thank you for the thoughtful milk and biscuits!

About the location

MILNTHORPE

Arnside 3 miles; Silverdale 6 miles; Kendal 7 miles.

Milnthorpe, once an important medieval market town, is located in the South Lakes between Kendal and Carnforth, just a few miles from the seaside village of Arnside. Reminders of the town's history can still be found today amongst the narrow lanes and historic buildings, which speak of a time when a coach and four was more common than a four-wheel drive. Set in lovely rolling countryside, the area has much to offer, with the Lakeland Wildlife Oasis offering a tropical hall and butterfly house. Dallam Tower and Levens Hall (historic and beautiful stately homes with their deer parks, topiary and ornamental gardens) provide a great day out for visitors. Leighton Hall, Sizergh Castle, the Great Lakes Aquarium, Windermere and Grizedale Forest are also all within easy reach and well worth a visit. From stunning limestone pavements and wonderful woodland walks to beaches and scenic coastal paths, there really is something for everyone.

Note: This property does not accept bookings for less than 3 nights.
