This outstanding, stone-built detached cottage is located within the grounds of the owners' home, on the outskirts of the pretty village of Burton-in-Kendal, just seven miles from Kirkby Lonsdale. This elegant, lovingly-decorated holiday home boasts luxury furnishings and is set in an ideal location for discovering both the Yorkshire Dales and Lake District National Parks. The cottage boasts a contemporary finish throughout and includes high quality features, such as a beautiful designer kitchen and a superb bathroom - you're sure to have a break to remember. This romantic retreat is set solely on the ground floor and has a beautiful open plan living space with original beams, a fabulous kitchen and a cosy, stylish sitting area with patio doors leading to a lovely patio. This cottage is a real delight, retaining much of the character of the original building, enhanced by the modern and well-thought out styling employed by the current owners. Settle outside on the spacious patio on sunny afternoons, enjoy a barbecue together, or simply relax and enjoy a glass of your favourite tipple before taking a short walk around the village. Visit the village pub which is just a ten minute walk away from the cottage. An abundance of pretty walks and cycle routes are available right from the doorstep, 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. Lancaster and Kendal are also easily accessed and there are fantastic fishing and riding opportunities nearby, together with a choice of golf courses. Windermere and Ambleside are a short drive away and the pretty villages of Arnside, Sedbergh and Settle provide excellent days out. This quality cottage is an ideal getaway for exploring this beautiful area, at any time of year.

It was great having 2 sofas which you donât often get in cottages for two! Furnishings weâre of good quality and it was obvious that the owners had actually lived in it to make sure it was a pleasant and well thought out space. It is well placed for trips out to the Southern Lakes and we also made use of the local bus and train service.
