This historic dwelling, built in 1616, boasts original features such as oak stairs, exposed stone walls, and wooden beams, blending seamlessly with modern amenities to create an inviting atmosphere. The cottage is ideally situated near the lively village of Staveley, just seven miles away, which is renowned for the famous Hawkshead Brewery. Additionally, the larger market town of Kendal, six miles from the cottage, provides a wealth of attractions, including independent shops, medieval castle ruins, the Abbot Hall Art Gallery, and the Quaker Tapestry, making it an excellent base for exploration.

Outdoor enthusiasts will find plenty to enjoy around Longsleddale, with various walking and biking trails readily accessible.

The well-equipped kitchen features an electric cooker, microwave, fridge, and ample storage, while a large dining table provides a perfect setting for meals together after a day of adventure.

The ground floor also includes a bathroom with a bath and shower, a toilet, and a wash basin, enhancing the cottage's practicality.

As the day winds down, guests can unwind in the cozy living area, where a wood burner offers warmth and comfort. Alternatively, a nook by the window provides a quiet space for reading or working on a jigsaw puzzle.
