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.

A beautiful perfect barn conversion for 2 people equipped with everything you need. A relaxing place to come home to after a busy day in the Lakes with a neighbouring hotel restaurant (book early).

As others have noted, the actual barn is both small, and definitely no longer a barn!It is beautifully finished, perfect for a couple. Everything needed was available for the chef, the little patio area was delightful, magnolia in flower, lots of bees and birds...We will absolutely fine back. Suits us perfectly.

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.

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.

Once again Emma provided us w8th all that we could have asked for, from booking out atay to communication throughout until we arrived. The accommodation is just ideal for what we wanted and remembered from last year. We can see she's been pottering about in the garden, the smells are amazing and add to the overall atmosphere of the property...until next year, thanks again Emma x

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.
