About this property

Kendal 5.8 miles. Riverside is a charming cottage situated near the market town of Kendal, Cumbria. This gorgeous retreat is perfect for families or groups of friends seeking a delightful getaway, offering a convenient base to explore the scenic beauty of the surrounding area. As you step inside, you'll discover a host of different living spaces. First up, there is the kitchen/diner which is equipped with everything you need to whip up some delicious meals which can be shared at the dining table. You can also dine in the conservatory which is a great spot if you want to make the most of the natural light while tucking into your culinary creations! After dinner, head to either the sitting room or the snug where you can fire up the woodburning stove and enjoy your favourite shows and films or get lost in a good book if you fancy a more soothing evening. For any longer stays, there is a handy utility that is fitted with both a washing machine and a tumble dryer. When the sun is shining, enjoy a nice picnic out on the front bench and enjoy the ambience of the flowing stream. For something a bit more indulgent, take a nice hot dip in the hot tub to soothe those aching muscles after a day of hiking and exploring! Once it's time to rest, you'll find four beautifully presented bedrooms.

A historic market town with a fine reputation for shopping, Kendal nestles on the banks of the River Kent and is known as the Southern Gateway to the Lakes. Its old cobbled lanes and byways branch off the attractive main street, and the stone ruins of 12th century Kendal Castle sit perched on a hill with views over the town. Visit The Abbot Hall Art Gallery, its regular collection holding portraits by Kendal born George Romney and works by Turner and Ruskin, with other exhibitions through its links with the Tate. Both Sizergh Castle and Levens Hall with its superb Topiary Garden are nearby, as are limestone escarpments for easy walking, offering thrilling views of the Lakeland Mountains, the Howgills and Morecambe Bay. Kendal itself is ideally placed for exploring South Lakeland, the Yorkshire Dales and beyond. With other attractions such as Kendal Museum and the Museum of Lakeland Life, the fascinating Quaker Tapestry, Lake Windermere and the wider National Park within easy reach, Kendal provides a superb base for a relaxing break.
