August 2024

“A delightfully furnished, resourced and provisioned cottage that enjoys a quiet situation and is cared for by very considerate owners who live close by.”

The standard and maintenance of the furniture, fittings and facilities is exemplary, contributing in no small measure to the comfort and relaxation for our holiday. Lindale provides an excellent 'jumping off' point for easy access to the Southern Lake District and its more peaceful locations.

Mary September 2023

“A lovely cottage,very well appointed and ideal base for exploring the Furness area.”

The owners Nicky and Ian could not have been more welcoming and helpful. Thank you.

- Mary, September 2023

Thank you Mary for this lovely review. It was so nice to meet you and chat. We look forward to welcoming you back again sometime. Property Owner
Gillian September 2023

“We had all we needed to have a great holiday.”

The level of cleanliness was exceptional! The owners were friendly and very knowledgeable about the local area. The only suggestion is that a bedside lamp would have been useful in the single bedroom.

- Gillian, September 2023

Thank you Gillian for this lovely feedback. Glad you had a super holiday and we hope to see you again. I will definitely look at getting a bedside lamp. (The clock is meant to act as a lamp but I need to check how it works). Property Owner
Michael August 2023

“The cottage is beautiful; modern, clean and well-equipped for all holiday needs.”

Ian and Nicky are very friendly and welcoming - perfect hosts.Views all around are as you would expect for this part of the world - glorious. The only reservation to stop us giving it a 10 is the lack of any sort of shop etc in Lindale itself, which means a trip into Grange for any provisions. However, this certainly wouldn't stop us making a return visit and there is a lovely pub. Thank you Nicky/Ian for allowing us to stay at your beautiful cottage.

- Michael, August 2023

Thank you so much for this review Michael, we are so pleased you enjoyed your stay, and we do hope to see you again. Yes, the loss of our shop was such a shame, nearest emergency provisions being down the by-pass at the Petrol station or down two miles away in Grange (or visitors can always try our back door for a borrow of milk etc - we don't mind at all). Pleased the pub looked after you well too. See you again I do hope. Property Owner
Nimra August 2023

“The most loveliest stay with Ian and Nicky!”

I had the best time. They took care of me very well. The property itself was flawless. I honesty felt at home. Thank you so much for the amazing stay, Nicky and Ian! Cannot wait to be back! :)

- Nimra, August 2023

Thank you Nimra for this lovely review. We are delighted you enjoyed your three weeks with us in Lindale. We look forward to seeing you again. Good luck with everything. Property Owner
Peter June 2023

“Pointless to repeat the other very positive reviews (as they accord with our experience) which persuaded us decide to book this cottage.”

Probably the cleanest and best equipped in which we have stayed. Lindale being south of the central mountainous area means it often misses the rain and we had a completely sunny week. HIghlight for us was nearby Levens Hall and gardens with its famous topiary, and can recommend Rogan & Co for their Michelin one star three course dinner at £79 but book in advance. Peter

- Peter, June 2023

Thank you Peter for this lovely review. We are glad you had a nice stay and that you enjoyed Rogan & Co: many visitors book to stay with us so they can enjoy the restaurants in Cartmel. Thanks for the lovely comments about the cottage; we work hard at making it a good offer for customers so all these good reviews are a reward for us. Hope to see you both again. Property Owner
David June 2023

“Another lovely trip to Lindale and Mount Pleasant cottage.”

A great quiet location with easy access to the lower lakes. We used the two free access national trust sites on Windermere to take advantage of the weather and soak up some rays. Lovely holiday.

- David, June 2023

Thank you both for this lovely review. It was good to see you again and hopefully more restful visits again in the future. You brought brilliant weather. Property Owner
Renford September 2022

“We had a very lovely stay at Mount Pleasant.”

- Renford, September 2022

Thank you both for this nice review, we are so pleased you were happy. Thanks for the recommendation. Hope to see you again soon. Property Owner

Ron September 2022

“This was a really beautiful cottage and location.”

We received a very warm greeting from the owners, Nicky and Ian, who were very helpful when called upon. The cottage was well presented, warm, comfortable and had a well stocked kitchen. It was located in an ideal location for visiting the south Lakes and beyond. We will certainly recommend this to our friends and family and look forward to returning in the future.

- Ron, September 2022

Thank you for your review Ron. We do hope to see you again. We lived meeting your mother too Property Owner

Kazumi July 2022

“Nicky and Ian are very friendly and welcoming.”

The cottage is pretty and clean, and well-equipped. It was also nice to find some local bread, milk, biscuit, and fresh flowers in the kitchen when we arrived.

- Kazumi, July 2022

Thanks for this lovely review Kazumi, it was nice to meet you whilst you were on your holidays. Thanks for choosing our cottage. Property Owner

Lovely comfortable & peaceful stay, away from the hustle & bustle but within a very short drive to the surrounding Lakes & attractions

- Linda, July 2022

Thanks for your review Linda. We hope to see you again. Property Owner
Hazel July 2022

“We had a most enjoyable weeks holiday at Mount Pleasant Cottage.”

The cottage was spotlessly clean and very well equipped from very comfy beds to every appliance you would ever need in the kitchen.Lindale is a delightful little village with so much to do within 30mins drive. On the road parking was never a problem and we were allowed to use the drive to unload on arrival. This part of the Lake District is very quiet and peaceful and was just what we were hoping for. Our two most favourite walks were within 20 mins drive - a walk on the Kent estuary at Arnside and a walk on top of Whitbarrow Scar. We hope to return. Thanks Nicky and Ian

- Hazel, July 2022

Thanks Hazel, we are so glad you enjoyed staying in Lindale and we hope to see you again as there are many more walks we can recommend to you here. Thanks for the positive comments about the cottage, it means a lot to us. Property Owner
Elaine June 2022

“It was a very lovely and comfortable cottage.”

The extras of fruit, milk, bread & biscuits is a nice addition. The owners live next door but one and were very nice and helpful with giving advice on places to visit/eat

- Elaine, June 2022

Hello Elaine, thank you very much for your wonderful feedback, we are delighted you were happy at Mount Pleasant Cottage and we hope to see you again. Nicky and Ian. Property Owner
Beverley April 2022

“This cottage is absolutely amazing and is like a little home from home.”

Everything you need for a comfortable and enjoyable base from which to explore the beautiful Lake District. Lots of information provided and Nicky and Ian are the perfect hosts on hand to help if you need them. Couldn’t fault the cottage I could happily live there but unfortunately, there’s no garden available but great that it’s not essential for a holiday home as you’re busy exploring. Lovely quiet little village with The Royal Oak Pub just a short walk away with lovely Sunday dinner. Try the steam train from Haversmith to Lakeside Station and then you can take a boat ride from the Lakeside and back we’ll try the boat next time. Visit Levens Hall and Grange over Sands too where there’s a Tesco and Coop. Plenty more places to visit so we’re definitely going to return. The weather was good to us too so what more could you ask. Definitely recommend and we have to all our friends

- Beverley, April 2022

Thanks for the lovely review Beverley, and we look forward to seeing you again soon. Glad you had such a great holiday. Property Owner
Collette February 2022

“The cottage was lovely and the owners were on hand if we had any questions.”

The cottage had everything we needed and were treated to bread, milk, fruit and biscuits which were a very nice touch.

- Collette, February 2022

Thanks for the review Collette, it was nice to chat with you both when you were here and we are glad you enjoyed our cottage and the peaceful area. We hope to see you again. Property Owner
Krishan February 2022

“Thank you for a wonderful stay in a lovely village with great views.”

The cottage is well situated for visiting the coast and South lakes. It had everything we needed with a very helpful selection of walking books to explore the area. Plenty of parking within sight of the cottage.

- Krishan, February 2022

Thank you so much for the review Krishan, it was nice to meet you both when you were here. We are glad you had a great holiday in spite of a bit of half term weather!! Property Owner
Alan December 2021

“A lovely little cottage in a quintessential lakes village.”

Very restful and just what we needed. A great base to explore the South lakes and beyond. Well done to Nicki and Ian for a very well presented cottage with everything one could need for the perfect stay.

- Alan, December 2021

Thanks for your feedback Alan, and we are delighted you enjoyed the cottage. (And you were most kind leaving us presents too, we love a treat), wishing you both a very enjoyable 2022 and do come see us again. Lindale, Grange and the area is particularly beautiful in April and May with the Spring Flowers and stays pretty peaceful all year round - which we know was important to you both. Property Owner
Julie December 2021

“We had a wonderful stay in this beautiful cottage which was enhanced by some very kind and thoughtful welcome touches from the friendly owners.”

This is a lovely corner of the Lake District and this was the ideal place to stay, both in terms of the location and the cottage. We will certainly come again and would definitely give a 5* recommendation to anyone thinking of booking a cosy cottage break at any time of year.

- Julie, December 2021

Hello Julie, thank you so much for this very positive feedback, it means a lot to us that our customers are happy in the cottage. We look forward to seeing you again. Wishing you a happy 2022. Ooh and it was nice of you to buy the cottage a pizza cutter - now we really do have everything folks! Property Owner

Maria October 2021

“Absolutely fantastic cottage.”

The owners seem to have thought of everything and it was spotlessly clean. Lovely touch of welcome fruit, milk and bread.

- Maria, October 2021

Hi Maria, thanks so much for your feedback on our cottage recently, we are glad you had a nice stay in Lindale. We hope to see you again if you return to the Lakes for another holiday. And wishing you a very happy 2022. Property Owner
Vivien October 2021

“Mount Pleasant is a lovely cosy cottage and large enough for 3 adults.”

The central heating was simple to use and quickly warmed the property. Always a good test for a cottage is the shower, we were not disappointed, it was excellent. The kitchen was well equipped with everything one could need. The beds were comfortable with nice quality bedding. There were books to read (I read The Salt Path - highly recommended) and lots of OS maps plus leaflets for places to visit. There is no parking by the cottage but plenty of spaces further up the lane so that wasn’t a problem. The lane is very quiet apart from the Primary School (below the cottage) drop off and pick up times. Grange over Sands is very close with food shops, bakery and coffee shops. Recommend a walk along the promenade there and a visit to Tom & Abi’s plant nursery in the car park.

- Vivien, October 2021

Thanks Vivien for this lovely review, and we are so pleased you enjoyed staying in the cottage and glad you read The Salt Path - a very popular book with all my walking pals. And glad you enjoyed meeting Damsel the Fell Pony, she is becoming quite an attraction here! Nicky and Ian Property Owner
Emma September 2021

“The cottage is exactly as it showed on your website and a very homely place to spend some time.”

- Emma, September 2021

Thanks Paul we are glad you felt at home in Mount Pleasant cottage - for us that is the most important thing. Nicky and Ian Property Owner
Pradip September 2021

“Lovely, comfortable cottage.”

The owners prepared everything so thoughtfully, even providing tea, coffee, sugar, fresh fruit, bread and milk for when we arrived. Super stay!

- Pradip, September 2021

Hello Pradip and Julie, we are so pleased you enjoyed Mount Pleasant Cottage, thanks for leaving us the card too - we do hope to see you again sometime. And thanks for the 100 percent, means a lot to us. All the best. Property Owner
Simon July 2021

“Absolutely the best cottage I've ever stayed in.”

The hosts were lovely and had thought of everything - so many nice touches to make it a lovely temporary home - that's how it felt. Love the area as well, far enough away from the crowds in the Lakes themselves, but close enough for day trips there - but also in the other direction into the Barrow Peninsular. I can't recommend it enough!

- Simon, July 2021

"we are thrilled that you have enjoyed your stay at Mount Pleasant Cottage; it makes all the work worthwhile" Property Owner
David July 2021

“This is our 4th or 5th holiday cottage or lodge in the lakes and is probably the best.”

I worried about the parking but there was always a space and the road is very wide and very quiet except when the full size bin lorry drives by. A welcome gift from the owners included bread, milk, biscuits and a full fruit bowl. The facilities were excellent. A washer drier including non bio washing detergent was very welcome. There is a pub in easy walking distance via the church yard. We have never stayed in the south lakes before but Lindale is an oasis of peace and we will be back.

- David, July 2021

We were so pleased to hear how much you enjoyed staying at Mount Pleasant Cottage and for the good review. Hope to see you again sometime. Ian and Nicky Property Owner
Scott June 2021

“Mount Pleasant Cottage is a lovely well equipped cottage for three in a quiet village ideally located for access into the Lake District for walking and other attractions.”

We found road parking a bit of a lottery around the local school drop off and pick up times but apart from that we were able to park within 20m of the cottage most of the time. The owners Nicky & Ian live to the rear of the cottage and were very keen to help and advise on all matters 'Lake District' and made sure we didn't want for anything. Overall a great week.

- Scott, June 2021

Thanks Scott and Julie for the great review and 100% - so great to hear that folks are enjoying our cottage. Hope to see you again sometime over here. Nicky and Ian Property Owner
Denise June 2021

“Be aware that this property had no parking facilities, And my husband is disabled so was difficult .”

- Denise, June 2021

Mount Pleasant Cottage has quiet on street parking within 30 metres of the property, slightly uphill from the house, which caused a little difficulty for this customer. We arranged for some special private parking on a neighbour's flat driveway on this occasion. Property Owner

About the location

LINDALE

Grange-over-Sands 2 miles; Cartmel 3.6 miles; Windermere 12 miles.

Lindale, a small village situated in the south of The Lake District National Park, now a UNESCO World Heritage Site and just a few miles from Lake Windermere, makes the area a perfect holiday destination. Set amidst the charm of The Southern Lakes, this attractive village, with handy gastropub, The Royal Oak, makes an inspiring choice from which to enjoy the whole of this magical area. Just a few minutes drive brings you to Cartmel, a delightful village to wander around, famed for its delicious sticky toffee pudding, 12th century priory, National Hunt race meetings and gourmet restaurants. You could also visit Grange-over-Sands, a charming seaside Edwardian town. Take a stroll on the promenade and return through the quaint narrow streets with some lovely tea rooms and specialist shops including a bakery, chocolatiers, and award winning butchers. The Lake District has so much to offer, there is sailing on Windermere, cycling in The Grizedale Forest, Go Ape Treetop adventures, Birdwatching at Leighton Moss and The Foulshaw Osprey Experience. There are also stately homes at Holker Hall, Levens Hall and Sizergh Castle and a heritage steam railway which runs from Haverthwaite to Lakeside. The Arnside and Silverdale Area of Outstanding Beauty is also a short journey away. But leaving the best till last, walking or touring in the fabulous Lake District, with its fells, lakes and tarns is an absolute must, most of which is just a short drive or walk away.
