About this property

Charming And Comfortable Farm Cottage In Spectacular Garden Setting

Beautiful rural setting. The stone built cottage is adjacent to the farmhouse with full central heating included in the price. There is a fully modernised kitchen with cooker, gas hob and electric oven, fridge, deep freeze, dishwasher, microwave and extractor fan.
The WiFi is provided free and has an extremely fast full fibroptic connection.
The bathroom is downstairs with washbasin, toilet and a large shower. There is a games room downstairs, with lots of board games, books and DVDs. The remainder of the cottage is upstairs with an open plan kitchen, diner and living room. A large flat free view TV with a usb port is provided and a Humax recorder and a DVD player. There is a large selection of films on DVD available.
There are two bedrooms, one double and one twin room with electric blankets provided on all the beds (sometimes we take them off in the height of summer).
The views across the extensive gardens are excellent.
There are innumerable local walks and guests are welcome to explore the farmland which is immediately adjacent to the cottage. The land is used particularly for rearing livestock, mainly sheep and cattle although some fields will, in the summer, be growing fodder crops for winter feed.
There are a good selection of shops in High Bentham 2 miles away including 2 small supermarkets and a post office. Bigger supermarkets are available in Kirkby Lonsdale 8 miles, Lancaster 13 miles and Settle 12 miles.
There is a reliable local garage in Bentham 015242 61782 who will help with repairs but the nearest petrol stations are in Ingleton 4 miles , Kirkby Lonsdale 8 miles or Settle 12 miles. Lancaster is 13 miles west and Kendal 23 miles north. The cottage is ideally situated for exploring all that the area has to offer. The Trough of Bowland is to the south, the Yorkshire Dales to the east (Ingleborough and 'Three Peaks' area 4 miles away), the Howgills and the Lake District to the north and the coast 15 miles to the west.

Wonderful place to stay

As soon as you pull up you can't fail to be inspired by the properties grounds. The cottage itself was lovely and had everything we needed. Ideal base for walks in the Forest of Bowland, Yorkshire Dales and Lake District. Would strongly recommend and would definitely go back.

Beautiful Setting

The property was well furnished and very much a home from home. The owners are lovely and the surrounding gardens are stunning. You need to drive to the nearest shops, pubs etc., but that is not a problem. The surrounding countryside is well worth exploring. We definitely hope to visit again.

Quiet and peaceful.

It was a bit difficult to find at first, but after that it was okay. You drive in the entrance on to a large gravel area, in front is a large lawned area, trees of al types and sizes and a small pond. Breath taking. The cottage was spotless and so comfortable. Felt like home. Didn't want to leave.

Wonderful stay

We had a fantastic stay in August. The house was welcoming, spacious and clean and had everything we needed. The gardens were beautiful. Fantastic location allowing trips to the Lakes, the Dales, Lancaster and the coast but plenty of lovely walks and bike rides (helpfully suggested by Clive) close by. Would definitely recommend for a peaceful holiday.

Why they chose this property

There is approximately one acre of spectacular gardens, with sitting out areas, garden seats, ponds and sculptures.

What makes this property unique

The surrounding area is beautiful stock-rearing farmland. Which ever way you travel from the cottage there are picturesque and interesting places to visit with something to offer for everyone. The Yorkshire Dales are to the east, with the mountains of Ingleborough, Whernside and Penyghent so well known for the famous 'Three Peaks Fell Race'. To the south is the Forest of Bowland, to the east is Lancaster and the coast with beautiful estuaries extending north and south from there. The Lake District is just north of us.
This is an ideal area for walking, mountaineering, both road and mountain biking, fishing, photography. Bird watching is another favourite with several local reserves.
