With a peaceful garden and superb countryside views from every window, this traditional Lakeland cottage is tucked down a peaceful country lane in the hamlet of Crook.
Inside the cottage, a homely interior welcomes you as latch doors lead through stone flagged floored rooms, with exposed beams and wood burning stove.
Only a few miles from Bowness and Lake Windermere, Birchmill Cottage is a haven for keen fell walkers, but is also ideal for family breaks in the beautiful southern Lake District.
There are several excellent gastro-pubs nearby and The Sun Inn is only a few minutes' walk away.
In addition to the aquatic attractions of Lake Windermere there are also three golf courses within easy reach.
The 'Crook Road' (B5284) runs between Kendal and Bowness, for ease of access to the shops, entertainments and attractions of both.
There are plenty of opportunities for fell walking in the immediate area.

Location
Birchmill Cottage is part of the scattered hamlet of Crook, only three miles from Kendal, Bowness and Lake Windermere.
The surrounding Lyth and Winster Valleys offer a real air of tranquility, far from the madding crowds and famously doused with damson blossom in spring.
The magnificent display of snow drops locally in early spring is unsurpassed.
Although secluded and far enough off the beaten track for an undisturbed holiday, Birchmill Cottage is ideally located only a few miles from the main routes, which give easy and quick access to all parts of the Lake District.
The unique beauty of the Lakeland peninsulas, the Kent estuary and Morecambe Bay are equally accessible.
