Summerville Cottage

The Westmorland and Furness countryside around Kirkby Stephen draws walkers and families looking to escape into quieter landscape. Summerville Cottage sits within the town itself, a short walk from the town centre and local pubs. It's a whole property to yourself: three bedrooms sleep six, with a double, another double, and a single plus a pull-out single on the first floor. Ground floor has the living room with woodburner and Smart TV, a separate dining room, and a kitchen fitted for proper cooking—electric cooker, dishwasher, microwave and the rest. There's a utility room with washing machine and tumble dryer, and a bathroom with bath and shower cubicle upstairs.

An enclosed back garden with patio and sitting area is useful for families with young children or if you're bringing a dog (pets stay free). The garden does have three steps, which is worth knowing. Essentials like electricity, heating, bed linen, towels and Wi-Fi are all covered. Parking is on the road outside. No smoking indoors. For families needing them, a travel cot, highchair and stairgate are available.
