About this property
A truly delightful property! This charming semi-detached cottage nestles in a quiet position in the traditional south Lakeland village of Lindale, now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, 3 miles from Grange-over-Sands. The cottage seamlessly combines original features and little 'nooks and crannies' with modern comforts, to provide comfortable, bright and airy accommodation. Outside there's a beautiful cottage garden and patio, ideal for warm summer evenings. It's a great location too - the coast is nearby and Lake Windermere is just a short drive away. With lovely views and many walks from the doorstep this is an idyllic retreat to be enjoyed throughout the year!
Situated in the southern Lake District and just a few short miles from the coastal estuary and the seaside town of Grange-over-Sands is the small village of Lindale. With a true 'Lakeland feel', due to its narrow streets, traditional dwellings and a quaint old pub, this charming village is positioned on the slopes of Hampsfield Fell. The coastal resorts of Arnside and Grange are worth a visit, whilst the pretty town of Cartmel - with its famous annual horse race meetings - offers plenty to see. Lake Windermere and the villages of Bowness-on-Windermere and Hawkshead are only a short drive away and still retain the charm and character that has endeared them to so many visitors. The fabulous countryside which surrounds Lindale also provides exceptional walking and cycling opportunities.

The main reason being the concerns left by previous guests don't seem to have been addressed. 1. The internet speed is something from times when we had modems. In a modern world 2 MBits is ridiculous. 2. The cottage is located in the Lake District so inclement weather is expected. There is no possibility to hang wet jackets apart from the damp and musty cupboard under the stairs. 3. Someone mentioned the sticky surfaces everywhere in the kitchen and on all the wood surfaces. We found this also appetite destroying. 4. The single beds are no way suitable for adults. 5. On a positive note the cottage is well placed for all locations in the south lakes area and the M6 is easily accessible should the a595 be clear which is these day rarely the case.

Just a few remarks: - it's a hell of a job to find it, since there is no sign or house number. We had to ask the neighbours. - for tall people like us (1.85 and 1.96) the beds are really too soft Apart from that: lovely!

A knife sharpener would be good, and a clothes horse, but beds were comfortable, the bath was lovely and all in was a nice stay.
