About this property
This outstanding, stone-built detached cottage is located within the grounds of the owners' home, on the outskirts of the pretty village of Burton-in-Kendal, just seven miles from Kirkby Lonsdale. This elegant, lovingly-decorated holiday home boasts luxury furnishings and is set in an ideal location for discovering both the Yorkshire Dales and Lake District National Parks. The cottage boasts a contemporary finish throughout and includes high quality features, such as a beautiful designer kitchen and a superb bathroom - you're sure to have a break to remember. This romantic retreat is set solely on the ground floor and has a beautiful open plan living space with original beams, a fabulous kitchen and a cosy, stylish sitting area with patio doors leading to a lovely patio. This cottage is a real delight, retaining much of the character of the original building, enhanced by the modern and well-thought out styling employed by the current owners. Settle outside on the spacious patio on sunny afternoons, enjoy a barbecue together, or simply relax and enjoy a glass of your favourite tipple before taking a short walk around the village. Visit the village pub which is just a ten minute walk away from the cottage. An abundance of pretty walks and cycle routes are available right from the doorstep, whilst the nearby medieval Devil's Bridge at Kirkby Lonsdale and the Lune Valley, a favourite haunt of the artist Turner, are well worth a visit. Lancaster and Kendal are also easily accessed and there are fantastic fishing and riding opportunities nearby, together with a choice of golf courses. Windermere and Ambleside are a short drive away and the pretty villages of Arnside, Sedbergh and Settle provide excellent days out. This quality cottage is an ideal getaway for exploring this beautiful area, at any time of year.

The cottage provided a a lovely space for relaxing, whist being in a great position to explore from. We didn't meet Steve and Allison which in itself speaks volumes for how smoothly they run this little gem of a place. We found the cottage warm, welcoming and comfortable. The information provided before and on arrival was extremely helpful!

The property is well laid out and spotlessly clean. There is outside space with a table and chairs which catches the sun from mid afternoon. Lovely to sit out with a glass on wine! When we arrived there was milk in the fridge and a super cake. The welcome pack was sent to us by email a couple of days before we arrived which is very useful. There is walking from the door and an OS map available for guests to use. The property is situated up a quiet lane not far from the bus route ( No 555) with an hourly service to the lake district. Steve the owner is very helpful if there are any queries.
