A wonderful stay. Super close to Kendal but far enough away you get lovely views and quiet. Small but fine for 2-4 adults

Levens is in a fantastic location for exploring the South Lakes. The 2 bedrooms are very compact. One of the bedrooms smelled damp so we slept in the other one. There were inadequate kitchen pans and utensils to enable us to home cook our meals. For example, no frying pan for breakfast. There was no welcome pack so don’t expect any tea bags, milk or bread. A part toilet roll was provided along with some washing up liquid, handwashing soap and 2 dishwasher tabs. The heating system worked well and kept us nice and warm and there was WiFi and Freeview TV.We had a fab stay. The local shop in Levens is well stocked and opens from 8am to 6pm daily (shorter hours on a Sunday). And, the Hare & Hounds Public house was amazing. We frequented it daily during our 4 day break. We ate in the Barn for my husband’s 65th Birthday and the food was amazing. We would happily stay in Levens again.

Lovely cottage great for getting around. Very tight space to get through the lane to the parking space. Ended up parking in the road. Mised having a welcome pack, and bring spare toilet roll as had to buy some. Upstairs could be a little noisy at times especially 6am in the morning.
