About this property
An attractive, first floor holiday cottage, the upper floor of a detached, traditional converted barn, located amongst beautiful countryside scenery, in the pretty hamlet of New Hutton, just 3 miles from the historic Lakeland town of Kendal. Sympathetically converted and renovated, this delightful New Hutton cottage boasts many traditional features, such as original crook beams and traditional exposed stonework, alongside the gothic-style bedroom, making it an ideal romantic getaway, and a perfect base for enjoying the peace and tranquillity of the countryside. Discover beautiful, scenic walks from the doorstep, or enjoy a drink in the traditional old country pub, just a short stroll away, before returning to the cosy rooms, or spacious garden of this fantastic New Hutton holiday cottage.
The centre of Kendal, with its marvellous shopping facilities and cobbled lanes with pavement cafes and great restaurants, is just 3 miles away, while nearby Kirkby Lonsdale and Cartmel, with its famous annual horse race meetings, are both worth a visit. With Lake Windermere just a short drive, and the coastal resorts of Arnside and Grange-over-Sands within easy reach, this wonderful romantic New Hutton cottage has plenty to offer.
The small hamlet of New Hutton, set in lovely countryside, makes a quiet and convenient base for getting to know both the southern Lakes and the Yorkshire Dales. There is plenty to see and do in this popular holiday area, with both Sizergh Castle and Levens Hall, with its impressive topiary gardens nearby, as well as the town of Kendal, with its castle, art gallery and shops and restaurants set off cobbled streets. The walking in this area is superb, including limestone escarpments offering gentle walks and thrilling views of the Lakeland Mountains, the Howgills and Morecambe Bay.

The owners Julie and Graham were lovely and really helpful and full of local knowledge, location was perfect for a little hideaway when preferred and very well positioned for travelling by train or car (we went by train for the day to Edinburgh - perfect). The station pub and hotel down the road was amazing for food and friendliness. Wouldn't hesitate to book this again
