Overview
Property code: SZ144

Cosy end terrace property in the picturesque village of Kirkby Stephen, the perfect spot for a couple or small family to steal away and enjoy the delectable Cumbrian countryside.

Let adventure know no bounds when staying in this end-terrace cottage, a pet-friendly destination made for Yorkshire Dales excursions. Situated in the vibrant market town of Kirkby Stephen, a Cumbrian highlight with the North Pennines National Landscape (4.5 miles) and the Lake District (20 miles) not far away, you’re well-positioned for hiking, biking and sight-seeing adventures close by. The property is on a quiet street that’s just metres from the town’s high street, allowing you to wander out and enjoy pubs and restaurants after long, rewarding days filled with outdoor touring. Complete with two cosy bedrooms, the accommodation is best suited to a group of three or a couple seeking that extra bit of space to spread out.

Filled to the brim with quirky features and original design elements, this chocolate box cottage is a real rural delight. Step into the lounge with its wood burner, TV/DVD player and compact dining space, yours to unwind in as evening falls. The kitchen is just next door, offering direct access to a pretty, walled garden. This outdoor space is furnished with a bistro set for light meals or a sundowner, and you’ll also find a pond here. Back indoors, move up to the first floor to find two bedrooms, an attractive king-size and a snug single, alongside a family bathroom.

Just half a mile from home, the beautiful River Eden flows past the property and into the wilds of the countryside. This riverside pathway offers a waymarked route for admiring the scenery of the beautiful Eden Valley. Follow it to explore the ruins of Lammerside Castle (3 miles) and Pendragon Castle (4 miles) outside town. Close to here, Wild Boar Fell (7 miles) is a towering mountain offering far-reaching views from its summit. Follow the cairns along the established bridleway to make your way to the top and take in the sights of the Mallerstang Valley.

Amazing little cottage with enclosed back garden. It was wonderful for our dog. Have visited Kirkby Stephen twice before ( the accommodation was modern and lovely but no outdoor area - in previous place ) so would definitely return to the cottage in Nateby Rd again because of its location and the back yard.

Lovely cosy cottage a couple of minutes walk to shops, cafes, pubs. Neighbours were really friendly giving us great advice on the local area as well as good dog walks. Great location with easy access to both Lake District and Yorkshire. Cottage has a double bedroom with king size bed and a single room, both had ample space. Expect steep wooden staiRead morers up to the rooms and bathroom. We parked the car every day, with no problem, just metres from the front door We had a lovely holiday! Hide

Nicely decorated cottage with all amenities provided. Very small garden with shallow pond. Parking near cottage is difficult and road noise is Unavoidable. Good location for going on walks and many places dog friendly.

We were visiting friends who stay in the village so Thai cottage was in the ideal location for us. The cottage itself was cosy and clean with a great shower and comfy beds.
