Dana House

About this property

Burton-In-Kendal 1.7 miles. Dana House is a welcoming cottage in Holme, Cumbria, with roadside parking on a first-come, first-served basis, a lawned garden, and an open-plan living space centred around a gas fire. Suited to couples or friends, this is a well-placed base for exploring the surrounding countryside and nearby cultural spots. Inside, the open-plan living area brings together the kitchen, dining space, and sitting area, creating a relaxed setting for easy days in. The kitchen has all the essentials for preparing simple meals, while the dining table invites shared breakfasts and evening catch-ups. In the sitting area, the gas fire offers a gentle focal point for winding down with the television on or planning the next outing.

Two bedrooms provide flexible arrangements, including a double and a single with a trundle, while the shower room with a walk-in shower completes the layout. Outside, the lawned garden offers space to step out and enjoy the fresh air, while a nearby pub and shop add everyday convenience. From Holme, explore the nearby village of Arnside, where the sweeping views across Morecambe Bay can be admired from Arnside Knott, and visit the Arnside and Silverdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty for scenic trails and wildlife spotting. Head to Kendal to discover Kendal Castle, the Museum of Lakeland Life and Industry, and Abbot Hall Art Gallery.

For a change of scenery, venture to Grange-over-Sands, known for its long promenade, ornamental gardens, and views across the estuary, along with access to Cartmel, where Cartmel Priory and Holker Hall offer historic interest and landscaped grounds to explore. With a range of days out within easy reach, Dana House makes a delightful base for discovering Cumbria.

A small, traditional Cumbrian village set in beautiful countryside and ideally placed for exploring Southern Lakeland, the Yorkshire Dales and the peaceful Forest of Bowland. The village has a Post Office/general store for stocking up on the essentials and lies 7 miles from the lovely old market town of Kirkby Lonsdale, and 12 miles from Kendal, the gateway to the Lake District. There is easy access to many areas of interest, with the historic city of Lancaster and the seaside resorts of Morecambe and Blackpool all within easy reach. The acclaimed rspb wildfowl reserve of Leighton Moss is only 4 miles away, while Morecambe Bay is also famous for birdwatching. Other locations well worth a visit are the villages of Silverdale and Arnside (overlooking the beautiful Kent Estuary), Ingleton, Settle and Clapham. Levens Hall (famous topiary) and medieval Sizergh Castle with a beautiful garden are nearby. Good pubs and restaurants are also abound in the area. There is plenty of good walking nearby, and golf, fishing and riding are all available locally.
