“Stunning cottage, very modern, clean and well maintained and in a great area, close enough to The Lakes and also near to RSPB Leighton Moss.”

Also plus point the 555 bus to Ambleside / Keswick stops outside the door. One or two casserole dishes for oven would be useful (just a minor point)

Kimberley September 2023

“We absolutely loved this holiday property!”

It is the nicest holiday property we have rented in the UK. The owner has thought of everything you could possibly want. The decor is right out of a magazine. The countryside view through the kitchen and large patio is lovely. It is spotlessly clean. We have also stayed at the Gil Cottage next door, another property of the owners. It too was spectacular. Leasgil is an ideal location if you are exploring the Lake District and the Yorkshire Dales. No doubt we will come back again and again.

- Kimberley, September 2023

Zoe July 2023

“A fabulous house we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.”

The cottage is very well equipped and we liked the layout downstairs which meant we had lots of family time. Location is excellent for accessing all of the Lakes and into the Dales and Lancashire. Some beautiful local walks too. Would highly recommend.

- Zoe, July 2023
Sophie July 2023

“This was the best holiday cottage that we have ever stayed in.”

We had a lovely holiday and the property was amazing. The kitchen was well stocked for cooking, the beds were comfortable and the property was spotlessly clean. The location was great, allowing easy access to the lakes but quiet and peaceful! We cannot recommend this property enough and hope to go again. Thank you for a truly lovely stay :)

- Sophie, July 2023
Christine June 2023

“The cottage is just everything you advertise.”

Immaculate, comfortable and beautifully furnished with all you need to have a wonderful holiday. The extra touches make it special. We would return in a heartbeat! Laundry Cottage is well positioned for visiting the Lake District. Thank you for an enjoyable holiday.

- Christine, June 2023

“The best holiday cottage we have ever stayed in it was just perfect we will ...”

The best holiday cottage we have ever stayed in it was just perfect we will definitely return which will be a first for us

“Wow, what a beautiful place.”

Both the kids and us absolutely loved staying here, it was as lovely as the pictures show. The only reason we I haven’t scored it 5 stars across the board was because due to internet issues during our stay which meant we had no internet the entire time. However the owners were trying to resolve this and had engineers out to try and fix, it just proved to be a trickier problem that hoped! Also the bedrooms upstairs were really warm constantly due to us being lucky enough to have gorgeous weather, an addition of some fans or something would have been nice to help keep things feeling a little bit fresher when trying to sleep. Neither of these would stop us staying here again though or recommending it to others (in fact we have already recommended to friends!).

Susan March 2023

“This was our third visit to this property which we find to be both very clean and comfortable.”

Everything you need for a self catering stay is available and the situation near Kendal and the M6 makes it great for visiting the Lakes. Only issue was the wi-fi which was very hit and miss

- Susan, March 2023
Gloria September 2022

“Lovely well maintained & immaculate property.”

It has a lovely atmosphere which helped us to have a very chilled holiday. The one niggle were the tvs remote controls which didn't work correctly (even after buying new batteries), but everything else was perfect. The underfloor heating makes it nice and warm and cosy too. The village it's in is lovely and there's the added bonus of having Booth's store close by. I would definitely recommend Laundry House. There's nice walks with your pooch close by too.

- Gloria, September 2022
Susan September 2022

“This was our second visit to Laundry Cottage as it is a very comfortable place to stay.”

The house is well equipped with everything you need to self cater, the beds are very comfortable and the bed linen is superb. Also in a good situation to visit all the lakes and other visitor attractions, Levens Hall is just down the road, beautiful house and gardens. Liz and Brian keep this property immaculate and we will certainly visit again

- Susan, September 2022
Thomas August 2022

“A beautiful house, very well looked after.”

A good location to see the Lake District. Everything was easy to use and very clean. We went as 4 adults and 3 children, and felt very comfortable.

- Thomas, August 2022
David August 2022

“We really loved the accomadation, every thing was spotless and it was like we were the first to use it.”

Well situated to get about and lots of nice pubs and restaurants nearby. Family holiday 3 generations and all loved it. THANK YOU

Adele July 2022

“Laundry cottage is beautiful, the bathrooms and kitchen worked exceptionally well.”

We found the cottage clean and instructions very good. The bedding and towels were good quality and the provision of cleaning equipment thoughtful. The garden is fully enclosed and the house was easily navigated by my relatives in their 80s Parking was good. Location for places to go was very good. The neighbours lovely. We had a few issues, one of the TVs froze but the owner replied promptly and I was able to carry out the remedy. On the Wednesday of our stay there was a local power cut after which the internet never came back on. Someone tried to boot it back up. The smoke alarm also seemed to be affected but we only realised that on the last night. For a holiday cottage it would be great to have some garden furniture for relaxing. At the moment there is a dining table, and I am sure that as the property develops there will be additions. We didn’t like the numerous signs dotted around to stop activity such as lighting candles, we assumed there had abeen a few bad experiences. Thought about how that could be more discreet or polite for future guests would be an idea. The welcome basket was nice, the coffee realy good. It would be great to have a collection of leaflets on where to go. We didn’t do much but Sizbergh castle was great for dogs and the farm shop wonderful jam.

- Adele, July 2022
Maggie June 2022

“An excellent cottage in a delightful peaceful area.”

Would thoroughly recommend this accommodation. Five stars for everything it has to offer Well situated for visiting the Lakes and tourist attractions. Very good local places to eat.

- Maggie, June 2022
Susan April 2022

“We found this property to be a “home from home” for us, lovely and comfortable, very clean and everything you need for self catering.”

The bed was very comfortable and shower easy to use. We were lucky with the weather and found the situation to be great for visiting places in The Lakes. We would definitely recommend and we will be booking again

- Susan, April 2022
James April 2022

“Property was beautifully presented, the owners had clearly thought about all the possible needs of people staying and catered for them perfectly.”

Truly enjoyable stay.

Esther March 2022

“Too many notices on walls around cottage which removed the homely feel from it.”

Intimidating to read that all breakages require to be notified to owner and they will inform you how much money to leave.... Let's face it accidents happen. Not enough cutlery or crockery, especially if 6 guests staying... We found we needed dishwasher on daily... Not environmentally friendly. Lack of drying facilities. Otherwise nice cottage in a small village in good location.

- Esther, March 2022
Robyn March 2022

“Laundry Cottage was phenomenal, not only stunning to look at, but every little detail for a home away from home was thought of.”

My family and I could’ve quite happily stayed here for a lot longer. The area is beautiful, and quaint and it’s location is really close to all the Lake District has to offer. Beds were super comfy. Linen and towels were also of a great quality. I couldn’t fault the Cottage & would recommend to anybody, and would be more than happy to stay there again. Thank you to Liz and Brian the owners.

- Robyn, March 2022
Sandra March 2022

“A beautiful cottage in a fantastic location with a wonderful host.”

Liz went above and beyond, and nothing was too much trouble. Would highly recommend!

- Sandra, March 2022
Ian February 2022

“We had a lovely stay, even though the weather was horrific!”

As we spent a lot of time inside, we felt the house was a bit cold and found it difficult to increase the underfloor heating. We did use the fire and paid for logs and kindling as an extra. We would also have added a mat inside the front and side doors so that as you entered the property, you could wipe your feet when the weather was wet.

- Ian, February 2022

We would of been happy to come and help increase the heating, we only live in the village and also leave our telephone number on many item of information in the cottage, we do say we are happy to come and help at anytime. Liz the owner Property Owner
Lisa January 2022

“Beautiful cottage in a lovely location.”

The reviews were all 100% correct. Cottage was extremely clean, new and had all the appliances and nice touches you expect from a luxury accommodation. communication was fluid, we normally texted to ensure cottage was ready and any other queries. We met Liz during our holiday as needed the heating turned down, she was extremely accommodating and suggested other places to go. The cottage has underfloor heating, extremely comfy beds and linen, all the cutlery and utensils needed to cook food. We found it extremely functional for 6 of us. The bathrooms were plentiful and was decorated tastefully with clean lines and gloss. I would recommend to stayed as long as you can respect the effort put into the cottage. The expectation is that you keep the place clean and at a high standard.

It was in a nice quite location the next village a 5 minute drive up the road had plenty of pubs and takeaways. Was never far to drive from anything always seemed about a half a hour drive. Highly recommend.

“Stunning place.”

We had a wonderful stay at Laundry Cottage, Milnthorpe. The cottage has been fitted out to a very high spec and is stunning. It was extremely clean and very well equipped for self catering. Our only problem was the garden wasn’t fully contained, we felt our dog would be able to get through the gate so we needed to always keep her on the lead outside. Brilliant communication with owner and we would definitely recommend.

- Jacqueline, August 2021

“I have stayed in a lot of holiday properties over the years but this was the best.”

“An exceptional cottage in a lovely village.”

Fast, easy access to Kendal, Coniston, Windermere, Helvellyn and most of the Lake District. A perfect location for a great holiday.

Amber July 2021

“We have had the most perfect week stay at Laundry Cottage!”

You can tell a lot of time, thought and effort has gone into designing the cottage. Couldn't believe how big it was, very spacious and the beds are very comfy. Plenty cooking and dining equipment in the kitchen. The patio and garden is absolutely lovely too. Not far to drive at all to get into the Lakes and Milnthorpe is a gorgeous little village. A week of luxury for us and sad to have to leave! Definitely recommend, owners quick to get in touch with too :).

“This is a lovey cottage in a place you can reach many of the attractions.”

It is well equipped and clean. The only disapointment was we were not allowed to have a barbaque.

“We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Laundry Cottage.”

The property has a lovely homely feeling to it, very lovely to spend time in to relax and unwind. The location is perfect its nice and quiet but very easy to get to any of the towns around the lake district you may like to visit. Really over the moon to find somewhere of a beautiful standard and that is also dog friendly. Our little pooch loved her stay too.

- Kimberley, May 2021
Lauren April 2021

“The house is fabulous, the kitchen is so well equipped and the finish is of such a high standard.”

The beds are really comfy and the bath is a real treat! A perfect place to while away the day or use as a base for the lakes. We will be back!

Continue through the room to discover the contemporary kitchen, where along the walls, sleek grey units are topped by beautiful granite work surfaces, with all the quality appliances required to cater to your culinary needs and accompanied by a breakfast bar, making the perfect spot to savour a glass of wine as dinner bakes in the oven.

During the balmy evenings, open up the patio doors to discover the spacious patio area, a perfect spot for enjoying a drink or two as the countryside views continue to captivate.

Once the evening draws to a close, head up the staircase to find the master suite, containing a plush super king-size double bed draped in White Company cotton bed linen with impressive wardrobe storage and a sleek en-suite shower room.

Sleep is sure to come easy in the other two bedrooms too, comprising of a king-size double bedroom and a twin bedroom which is zip/link and can be super king-size on request, served by a large family bathroom, featuring both a walk-in shower and a separate bathtub, allowing you to choose how best to prepare for your day with luxury Egyptian fluffy white towels.

There is also Heversham Hotel within a 5 minute walk of the cottage, with a traditional bar serving bar food.

About the location

MILNTHORPE

Arnside 3 miles; Silverdale 6 miles; Kendal 7 miles.

Milnthorpe, once an important medieval market town, is located in the South Lakes between Kendal and Carnforth, just a few miles from the seaside village of Arnside. Reminders of the town's history can still be found today amongst the narrow lanes and historic buildings, which speak of a time when a coach and four was more common than a four-wheel drive. Set in lovely rolling countryside, the area has much to offer, with the Lakeland Wildlife Oasis offering a tropical hall and butterfly house. Dallam Tower and Levens Hall (historic and beautiful stately homes with their deer parks, topiary and ornamental gardens) provide a great day out for visitors. Leighton Hall, Sizergh Castle, the Great Lakes Aquarium, Windermere and Grizedale Forest are also all within easy reach and well worth a visit. From stunning limestone pavements and wonderful woodland walks to beaches and scenic coastal paths, there really is something for everyone.

This property STRICTLY accepts only 1 dog (small/medium size)
