This 19th-century stone house sits just outside Kendal and comes with plenty of character. From the wood-burning stove in the sitting room to the cosy bedrooms, you'll find it easy to settle in and unwind here. Outside, the walled courtyard garden is a proper retreat, all ivy-clad stone and sheltered quiet, while the hot tub is the perfect spot to unwind after a day exploring. And when you're ready to get back in the action, Windermere is a short drive, and the wider Lake District unfolds from there.

About The Lake District
Poets and novelists have often escaped to the Lake District for a spot of inspiration. Famously, Wordsworth pondered about daffodils and clouds during his time here. The undulating hills are tracked with drystone walls while sheep graze, and farmsteads enjoy untouched beauty for miles around. England’s biggest lake, Windermere, cuts through a valley, sleek as glass and hosts a litany of cosy-pub-filled towns and water sports venues along its shores....
