Top Notch Holiday Cottage

Everything about Drover's Cottage exudes class & quality. The beds, mattresses, duvets, pillows and linen were some of the most comfortable I have experienced on holiday. The bathrooms are well appointed with great showers and large cosy towels. It is extremely comfortable, and even though it is situated on a working farm (which for me added to it's charm) inside & out is incredibly neat & tidy, and so well thought-out. Definitely recommend.

Spotless cottage with beautiful view

Converted farm building to very high standard. Lesley and Robert were lovely hosts, always available when needed but never intrusive. This is a working sheep farm but Robert showed us where we could walk our dog safely. 3 of us and the dog had a very happy week here while walking the Dales Way. Thank you.

Lovely property

Lovely property in a great setting, only minutes from Kendal. Property has literally everything that you could need, we were not wanting for anything. It was very clean when we arrived and Lesley met us as soon as we got there. We had a brilliant holiday in the Lakes, but the property is ideally situated to visit the Dales as well. Plenty of room for the two of us and three teenage kids. Would definitely book again if we return to Cumbria. Thank you Lesley and Robert for a perfect stay.

Wonderful accommodation

We had a great time, the house was brilliant... furnished and decorated to high standards. Super comfortable, very well equipped. Lovely touches left by Leslie and Robert. Thank you very much both for Bella’s ball, and our goodies. Hope to see you next year. If this is your first time in the area...Sainsburys and Morrison only 10 minutes drive, lots of choices of restaurants in Kendal. We tried the Thai and Spanish restaurants, Fish and chips take away. Took a trip to Bowness and hired a boat on the lake, If you travel with children try Brookhall, we did kayaking, paddle boarding and other activities. A beautiful and peaceful location not far from the lakes. Have fun!

Lovely property on working farm very close to Kendal

Cottage conversion with ample room for four adults. Next door property also a rental. Well furnished and equipped and good standard of cleanliness. Owners very friendly. Property is approx 15 minutes from town centre with two large supermarkets on this side of town. Last mile of the journey is on single track lane with passing places and then down a steep farm drive. Small terrace garden in middle of working farm. Parking not a problem in designated spaces. Views to the west are stunning.
