About this property
Settled in the Lakeland village of Burton-in-Kendal, just a short walk from a convenience store and a pub, is this quaint, end-of-terrace cottage. Tyee Cottage has been decorated and furnished to a lovely standard throughout, providing a warm and welcoming accommodation in a reverse level layout, ideal for families looking to access the Yorkshire Dales and Lake District. Step inside to find two neatly presented bedrooms, including a double and twin, offering a relaxing spot to rest your head following a day of outdoor rambles. Head upstairs to find the open-plan living area, a sociable space for the group to gather and discuss the days events, hosting a country style kitchen for preparing your home-cooked meals and a sitting area from which family film nights can be enjoyed. The small village of Burton-in-Kendal offers a village post office, a convenience store and an all-in-one pub and restaurant where you can enjoy a tasty meal if you fancy a night off cooking. A number of delightful walks and cycle routes can be found from the door, whilst the nearby medieval Devil's Bridge at Kirkby Lonsdale and the Lune Valley, a favourite haunt of the artist Turner, are well worth a visit. Venture into the Lake District National Park and explore the many charming towns and villages; spend an afternoon in Ambleside, browsing the quirky shops and attractions before enjoying a relaxing cruise across Lake Windermere, offering a different way to admire the Lakeland’s beauty, or visit the popular town of Bowness where you can learn about the fascinating life of Beatrix Potter. Lancaster and Kendal are also easily accessed and there are fantastic fishing and riding opportunities nearby, together with a choice of golf courses. With all this, plus the magnificent Yorkshire Dales National Park within easy reach, Tyee Cottage provides an excellent touring base, to be enjoyed all year round.
The village of Burton-in-Kendal is set in glorious countryside and is ideally positioned for touring Southern Lakeland, the Yorkshire Dales and the peaceful Forest of Bowland.

The owner contacted us to advise there would be some building work going on and hoped we wouldn't experience too much disruption however this wasn't the case. Scaffolders arrived at 8.30am on our first morning - so that was when the shouting/swearing/radio started. We were contacted by the company regarding an alternative and told that someone would contact us later with options but they didn't. The following mornings were not any better with contractors arriving before 8am, parking one of their vehicles across the front door and started hammering on the property. The property is fine if you just want a no frills base however seems quite tired - dishwasher is pure guesswork, a few basic hygiene issues - crumbs on the worktop, dirty utensils, not all pillows had protectors, shower would benefit from deep clean, rubbish in bins, etc - surprising considering the literature advises this has been a holiday let for years.

Massive cobwebs hanging down in kitchen. TV needs to be bigger it gives a feel of being cheap with it being so small. The pub was shutdown/not open and the same for the butchers and this was in the brochure so not strictly true and needs changing for any future holiday makers. All this being said it was a lovely stay in a lovely little cottage.
