Take a break from the hustle and bustle of daily life at this pretty, brick-and-flint terraced home in the vibrant market town of Kirkby Lonsdale. Sleeping four people across two bedrooms, this is an idyllic accommodation option for small families or groups of friends who want to explore both the Lake District and Yorkshire Dales. After days of long and dramatic walks, return home to the cottage's tiered garden, fire up the BBQ and treat yourselves to an al fresco feast.
Step inside and you’ll discover a welcoming dining space adorned with a spacious wood table and inviting chairs – the perfect place for sociable dinner parties. Take a few steps forward and you’ll find a large open-plan lounge/kitchen. Take a couple of steps down from the kitchen area and unwind in the lovely, light-soaked lounge area before heading back to the bright kitchen to cook up a storm. Gather everyone to eat around the elegant table, or make your way out into the pretty, tiered garden to fire up the BBQ and dine alfresco. After dinner, head to the chic lounge area to warm your toes in front of the glowing wood burner-effect electric fire. At the end of the day, two cosy bedrooms await upstairs - one twin that converts to a super-king on request, and a king-size with a lovely dormer window offering views of the fells. Completing the layout, you’ll find a well-appointed, bright family bathroom.
