The surrounding area is rich in history and natural beauty, with nearby Kirkby Stephen providing a variety of bars, restaurants, and independent shops, as well as local walking routes and wildlife viewing opportunities. Just 10 miles away, the market town of Kendal is known as the 'gateway to the southern Lake District' and offers excellent shopping options. Visitors can easily access iconic tourist destinations such as Windermere, Ambleside, and Grasmere, and even enjoy a cruise on the famous Windermere steamers, making it an ideal spot for both relaxation and adventure.
River View Cottage is not only pet-friendly, allowing two dogs to stay (to be kept on a lead due to the sheep country), but it also offers private parking for up to two cars.
