Daw Bank Cottage is a charming retreat located in a tranquil rural area of Greenholme, just 16 miles south of Penrith and north of Kendal, making it an ideal base for exploring the stunning landscapes of the northern Lake District and the Yorkshire Dales. This unique "upside down" cottage comfortably accommodates up to five guests in two bedrooms, with the living room offering picturesque views of the Howgills, Lune Valley, and the iconic Shap gradient of the West Coast railway line. The location is easily accessible from the M6, with the Tebay Services being a mere five-minute drive away, providing a convenient stop for travelers.
The cottage is perfectly situated for those seeking outdoor adventures, with ample opportunities for walking, cycling, and touring in the surrounding areas. Guests can immerse themselves in the natural beauty of the Westmorland Dales, which seamlessly connects the Lake District and Dales National Parks. The property is surrounded by working farmland, emphasizing the rural charm of the setting, and while it is a peaceful escape, it is important to respect the local livestock and wildlife.
For those traveling with pets, Daw Bank Cottage is pet-friendly, welcoming well-behaved animals to join their families. The owners maintain a friendly atmosphere with their own pets, including a dog, cat, and ponies. However, guests should be mindful that the property is a working farm, and there are no enclosed areas for unsupervised pets or children. It is essential to keep dogs leashed, especially in the presence of livestock, and to avoid feeding any animals unless accompanied by the owners.
The cottage provides modern amenities, including parking for two cars and the installation of an electric vehicle charging point. A minimal-contact check-in and check-out process has been implemented for guest convenience, ensuring a safe and comfortable stay. The owners emphasize a non-smoking policy and encourage guests to explore the local attractions, such as Kennedys Fine Chocolates and various outdoor activities, ensuring a memorable experience in this beautiful part of Cumbria.
