Traditional Lakeland Hideaway Cottage for two, close to the Lakes and Dales

Pear Tree Barn is a wonderful example of a traditional detached property that has been cleverly transformed to create a cosy holiday retreat for two. It is a superb choice for couples looking for that romantic getaway and for spending precious time together in quality surroundings. The accommodation is small but perfectly formed with carefully chosen accessories to create a stylish, contemporary look.
Two minutes drive from Junction 36 of the M6, with easy access to the Lake District and Yorkshire Dales. The local market town of Kendal and the popular village of Kirkby Lonsdale are only a short drive away. There is a village shop in the fuel station quarter of a mile away.
The property has its own parking space and patio with outdoor seating.
Across the lane is the popular Crooklands Hotel with a lovely restaurant or bar meals and local ales in the snug.

small but well designed and comfortable
For a small building, the layout is good and high quality fittings, too. We used it primarily as a touring base. Specific comments: the bed was really comfortable; could do with bigger bath towels; no spare washing up cloths or tea towels. The shower is electric and works well, but when you are used to a power shower . . .

Perfect
The house is small but had everything we needed to make it perfect. The owner has thought of everything to make our stay a home from home and the location was ideal for everywhere we wanted to visit plus there’s a hotel next door that does lovely meals but you have to book in advance because it’s very popular. Really enjoyed our stay.

what a lovely place! quiet with ample necessities walking distance from the pear barn. theres a bus that runs M-F into the bigger nearby towns or taxi service if you come without car (as i did). a car makes stuff way easier though. inside was super clean, quiet and had everything i could think to need. thank you so much for a fab stay!!

Lovely property and accommodation was delightful. Beautiful location for exploring The Lakes and with a local pub/hotel a mere stones throw away it made for the perfect location for our mini break. We could see a lot of work and thought has gone in to the accommodation it was a pleasure staying there..looking forward to returning next year, thanks Emma for the bubbly it was a wonderful touch xoxo

Quaint little hideaway.
Lovely little hideaway for visiting the Lake District. The cottage is an ideal size for a couple to relax, unwind and enjoy the area. Really good access from the nearby motorway and in turn, a brilliant location to explore the rest of the national park. I booked this quaint little cottage for my mum as we have a place nearby so we could visit her whilst on her stay. The place is spotless and has everything you might need for a comfortable break away from the rat race. Would definitely use again and highly recommend. Thanks :-)

Excellent location
The property was perfect for two people exploring the local area. Crooklands hotel next door was great for easy food and a restful pub after a long walking day. But if you want dinner make sure you book. Couldn’t recommend the property more highly.
