The Property

The cottage has double glazed windows throughout and individually controlled underfloor heating in each room on the ground floor and radiators upstairs, provided by the environmentally-friendly biomass boiler.

We stayed at the cottage with our two dogs and the hosts provided a goody basket for them which was a lovely touch. Really good value for money and located far enough from the town that it’s peaceful but close enough that it’s very easy to pop to the shops. Would definitely recommend

Croft cottage is beautifully decorated with many thoughtful touches for guests. The kitchen is very well stocked with cooking supplies. Robert and Leslie are wonderful hosts, who have done an amazing job with this cottage. One of the nicest places we have every stayed. We found it was ideal for visiting the Lake District and highly recommend it!

Exceptionally well presented, clean and thoughtfully provisioned cottage. Friendly owners onsite to answer any queries, and an excellent location for Kendal & the South Lakes. We are a family of 5 travelling with a dog - all comfortably accommodated in Croft Cottage. Definitely got the Paw of Approval from Fergus, who loved the fabulous walks on his doorstep and thoughtful basket of canine goodies

Perfect cottage to stay in for a lovely family holiday. Everything was beautifully clean - and you had everything you needed in the well equipped kitchen, bathrooms and comfortable bedrooms. Our kids loved seeing the sheep on the farm and wondering down to the stream and up the hills. Perfect location for day trips into the Lakes. And Lesley and Robert are lovely hosts. Highly recommend
