Harwood Dale Cottage

Kendal sits at the gateway to both the Lake District and Yorkshire Dales, surrounded by riverside walks, historical streets and fell views. About a mile from the town centre, Harwood Dale Cottage gives you access to this base without the noise of being in it—the property has its own gardens and a private balcony overlooking the countryside towards Kentmere.

The cottage spreads across two floors with a flexible layout. Downstairs, a double and single bedroom open onto a sitting room with direct access to the enclosed garden and patio. Upstairs, the main living and dining space has French doors onto a balcony; a further single bedroom is also on this floor. The kitchen has a gas hob and electric oven, so you can cook properly. One bathroom serves the house, with a separate toilet for convenience. Bed linen, towels and wifi are included; heating and hot water are covered too. There's parking for two cars on site and a bike store if you're exploring by cycle.

The property suits families or groups wanting ground-floor access to gardens, or anyone who values a bit of separation between bedrooms and living spaces. In winter, the upstairs rooms frame views back towards Kendal itself. No smoking indoors.
