About this property
Tucked away in a secluded corner of the small village of Lindale, on an award-winning courtyard development, this barn conversion is close to the elegant Edwardian town of Grange-over-Sands and the ancient priory village of Cartmel. This cottage offers superb accommodation and makes an ideal base for exploring the beautiful Lake District, with Lake Windermere less than 5 miles away. This lovely cottage offers two delightful bedrooms, along with a modern bathroom on the ground floor. Upstairs, you can really appreciate the original features in the sitting room with its high vaulted ceiling and feature beams, together with a dining area where you can enjoy delicious, home-cooked meals. There is also a separate Mezzanine area with seating, where you can escape for some peace and quiet with a good book. Outside is a lovely enclosed garden with patio furniture, perfect for sunny days where you can enjoy the surroundings and relax. The village of Lindale has a shop, pub and a Post Office, so you could amble up for your morning paper, whilst in the evening sample some of the hospitality in the pub. Just a few minutes' drive from the cottage is Grange-over-Sands, a charming town noted for its gentle climate. From here you can embark on a train ride over Morecambe Bay to Arnside, on the Lancashire coast, and enjoy all that this quiet, yet exquisite town has to offer. The railway station in Grange is situated close to some lovely tea rooms and specialist shops including a bakery and chocolatiers. Grange also boasts a Michelin Star restaurant, L'Enclume, as well as nearby Cartmel offering a further delectable Michelin dining experience, Rogan and Co, both serving food sure to tantalise your taste buds.

The small village of Lindale is situated in the south of the Lake District National Park, just a few short miles from the coastal estuary and the seaside town of Grange-over-Sands. Sitting on the slopes of Hampsfield Fell it has a true 'Lakeland feel' with narrow streets, quaint stone dwellings, two traditional pubs, and an 18-hole golf course.

Not very clean. Shower screen didn't fit and water leaked out everywhere. One of the second bedroom beds was more of a put-u-up bed with no headboard to keep the pillows in place. The internal knob on the bathroom door comes off. Knife drawer didn't open properly because of fake drawer in front of sink. Kitchen blind didn't work properly and fell down while trying to open it. Not enough room on the kitchen surface to put 4 dinner plates - microwave needs to go on brackets on the wall. Washing machine advertised didn't work. Some of these issues have been noted in the visitor book on several occasions but obviously have not been addressed.

No problems at all (couldn't find a mop), but as in all of the feedback beware, as the stairs are not suitable for elderly dogs or people! Anti-slip mats have been installed in response to previous comments I guess. Nice little garden - a bit of a sun trap.

It has everything you really need but a freezer would be a good addition. I took my furbaby so we took our own throws for the sofa because heâs used to sitting with us. We had a power cut one day and the neighbours were lovely when we were trying to work out if it was just us. Parking is an issue. We have 2 cars and we accidentally parked in someoneâs space. He was very mean to me and made me very uncomfortable even though I was apologising and explaining. We were of course going to move the car. We didnât see the number hidden in the bushes. No need for his reaction, but thatâs not the fault of the owners just beware! If you have a second car check the parking spaces! It does lack some cleanliness as in lots of cobwebs and when your dog likes balls we found lots! We had a fantastic time here and visited a few places. The park across the road is perfect for a morning run around with kids or dogs! Jasper loved it over there. He doesnât like to go to the toilet in the garden so itâs a massive tick for me! Itâs peaceful and quaint and we had the best time and we hope to return to relive the magic of our first family holiday. Thank you =]
