We had a wonderful time. The house is in a very peaceful setting, and we found the proximity to the Oxenholme Train Station to be extremely convenient. The house has all the modern conveniences while keeping a very rural and rustic setting. Highly recommended!

Lovely stay for Kendal Mountain Festival weekend!
The stay was lovely, create location from the train station and Kendal for the festival. Communication was great with the hosts who were helpful and accommodating when we cancelled one night. There was tea and milk on arrival which was lovely after a long train journey and the rain! The place was lovely and warm as well. Thanks!

A slice of heaven
The property is absolutely wonderful - spacious and very imaginatively designed. The mezzanine bedroom is light and airy which may not suit everyone, but the downstairs bedroom is darker. The setting is peaceful with rural views. Would definitely return. The Station Inn is a 15 minute walk away and has a comprehensive menu for lunch or evening and staff are very friendly and helpful.

Beautiful property - Hidden gem
Had the most wonderful stay here. Was easy to find & the owners introduced themselves once I'd settled in. The property is bigger than it looks in the photos & the floor to ceiling windows brings the outside in. Great that you can park your car safely out of the way in the garage and there is a pub within walking distance should you wish to leave this beautiful property. The outdoor space is great! Had good weather so actually got to sit in the sunshine. Only downside is that the bathroom is downstairs and it was a bit challenging in the night what with the paddle style stairs... my advice - just take it easy on the wine! Haha. Overall absolute amazing place and can't wait to go back.

Fantastic cottage for a relaxing break
Really lovely cottage, perfect for a couple on a walking/sightseeing holiday. Accessible to both the Dales and the Lakes, but lots of lovely places right on doorstep (including some great walks directly from the house). Accommodation was well equipped, clean and very comfortable. Great area for sitting by the window, watching the garden wildlife and relaxing. Lovely pub just down the road too! Owners were friendly and very helpful. Would definitely book again.

Clean, idyllic and homely
Stayed here for 5 nights with my partner in late September and we both absolutely loved it. Checking in was an ease with the lock box by the door, and parking in the garage was a nice treat as well. The entire property is spotless and super homely. We used the kitchen almost every night and it’s pretty well stocked (although a second frying pan would have been useful at times). Small touches like dishwasher tablets and washing up liquid already provided also made the stay that much easier, and the selection of DVDs were really appreciated. I’d highly recommend staying here and would definitely stay again if I was back in the area.

A tucked away Gem.
Me and my wife recently stayed at this fabulous property. We have both been working right through Covid and where in need of some down time. We couldn't of picked a better place the views where stunning, The layout is better than it looks on the pictures and is also bigger than I was expecting. The Property is kitted out well and has plenty of storage for food and clothes. Our favourite part of this property though has to be the large fronted windows to the rear that lead to the patio, we spent hours here every night in the rocking chairs enjoying the views with music and a drink until it went dark. You wont go wrong staying here, there is even a lovely pub at the end of the road with a beer garden and fabulous food. We hope you enjoy your holiday as much as we did. Jonny and Amy.

Small and cozy
Me and my girlfriend stayed here for a few days and had a lovely time. The accomodation is conveniently close to the oxenholme train station and Kendal itself so we didn't have to do too much driving. The accomodation itself is warm, well lit and has a good selection of films to watch. Overall a lovely experience.

Beautiful converted barn
My boyfriend and I absolutely loved the beautifully designed converted barn, perfect for our week stay in the Lake District. Nice location in the countryside and very close to supermarkets. We enjoyed exploring the local area (The Helm a nearby hill that the owners kindly left directions to). The barn is very modern and well decorated, had everything we needed. Will definitely be coming back next year!
