A super mid-terrace cottage on the outskirts of the village of Levens, just five miles from Kendal and 15 miles from Bowness-on-Windermere in the beautiful Lake District. This is a lovely cottage with spacious accommodation and a large garden with patio where the views stretch over the Lyth Valley. This cottage makes a perfect base for exploring the Lake District and the nearby historic houses of Levens Hall and Sizergh Castle. Cinderbarrow Cottage has two bedrooms and a family bathroom on the first floor, whilst downstairs there’s a spacious sitting room with dining area and a fully-equipped kitchen with a vestibule area – perfect for storing all your walking clobber.
Outside, there is a large garden area with lawn and a patio approached by steps. The surrounding countryside is perfect for walking or cycling and the nature reserves of Leighton Moss and Foulshaw Moss will give added interest no matter what the weather holds! The bustling lakeside town of Bowness-on-Windermere is just 20 minutes away where you can find a colourful mix of shops and restaurants, and of course, you can hop on board the Windermere Steamer to cruise up the lake to Ambleside with the stunning Lake District fells on either side. In the market town of Kendal there is the Brewery Arts Centre together with charming ginnels and alleyways to explore.
This super cottage will make a great base at any time of the year.

Immaculately clean, high quality appliances, warm (and easy to turn down or increase the heating), somewhere for the bikes, a very useful place to store coats and boots with even a bench to sit down on whilst taking them off. We also appreciated the bath rather than a shower. The instructions for getting there were excellent, and the owners seemed very helpful, thoughtful and friendly. There is also a local very well stocked shop which was handy. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend this cottage.

The owners have managed to combine the character of an old Lakeland property with fantastic comfort to make this a fantastic place to stay. The cottage is superbly located for walking and accessing other parts of the Lake District, Yorkshire Dales etc. although we managed two long walks and a shorter walk from the cottage itself. It's superbly well equipped, has great parking and Levens village has a great shop. But the two words that kept running through our heads are Character and Comfort which combined to make our time at the cottage very relaxing.
