Overview
Property code: OC-94582

This property is ideally located if you want to soak up traditional country life in a pretty village with a popular pub just a short walk from the house, (within 0.25 miles). If you enjoy walking, beautiful walks are abundant from the front door. Alternatively, you may prefer some of the Lake District’s fantastic fells a short drive away. This is also a popular cycling area if you want to bring your bikes. The old market town of Kendal, famous for its annual mountain festival and mint cake is a mere 3.75 miles. In addition, Bowness-on-Windermere is only 9.5 miles away. Here you can take a cruise across the lake, visit Beatrix Potter World, Windermere Jetty Museum, or experience the array of shops, bars, and restaurants. Levens village, 2.5 miles has a very well-stocked village shop. In addition, Levens Hall and Gardens lie a short 3 miles from the cottage, being famous for the world’s oldest topiary gardens.

 This property is reported to be one of the oldest properties in the village and dates to the early 1600s. It boasts an original oak front door, an inglenook fireplace, and wooden beams. From the moment you step into this cosy cottage you will be enchanted by its character and charm. The spacious country kitchen provides all modern conveniences for a comfortable stay plus a breakfast bar and stools. It won’t be long before your eyes are drawn to the living room with its stunning original character features. Also on the ground floor, you can find the practical shower room and adjoining utility room, which offers plenty of space to store those muddy boots and soggy coats. Upstairs and through the characterful hallway, the bedrooms beckon, with a spacious king-size bedroom and delightful double you can enjoy a restful night's sleep. The family bathroom is designed for relaxation, with the claw-foot bath and walk-in shower you are free to soak away the day's adventures.

The rear door leads from here to the secret walled cottage garden on the southwest side of the property, to take full advantage of the warm sunny days.

This is a lovely spacious cottage with a nice cosy feel. The bed was really comfortable, the shower was powerful and the kitchen was well equipped. With a parking space, garden, pub in walking distance and walks from the door, this cottage provided a very relaxing break.

Nice cottage, lay out worked for us. Utility room was very handy for both us & dogs. Peaceful location. Garden is enclosed but not dog secure, meaning we had to have back door shut which was a real shame as the weather was stunning all week. Garden furniture needed cleaning, not inviting to use. Though we didn't have children with us, I did notiRead morece that the trampoline was in an unusable state. No spare batteries for TV remote meaning we had to go out and buy some. It states no dogs up stairs but no stair gate was provided to prevent this from happening. Hide

Enjoyed the location but very hard to find, even though we asked 3 locals they did not know where the cottage was. The arrival time in the cottage brochure states 4.00 pm arrival whereas your brochure is at 4.30pm. I have indicated below that I would not recommend this to a friend but only because of the comments listed above

Brow House is a lovely, cosy and historic property in a beautiful setting. Every room has been thoughtfully furnished and decorated, creating a very pretty cottage atmosphere. The enclosed garden was perfect for our small dog and Brigsteer is ideal for accessing Windermere and lots of other wonderful places in the Lake District. The house was a litRead moretle chilly when we arrived, but very quickly warmed up. The welcome pack and full log basket were very gratefully received. Hide

Just returned from a fantastic few days at the cottage. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and were particularly impressed with the facilities, especially the little extras for the dog such as spare leads, bowls and throws for the sofas. The garden is quiet and peaceful and was lovely to sit in when the sun made an appearance. We would definitely stay Read morehere again. Hide

Lovely house, good location close to the pub in a small village. Charming and cosy throughout, a perfect rustic house which is what we wanted. Only drawbacks are it had old scratched Teflon pans which personally really bothers me because of how bad they are. And the downstairs loo doesnt flush very well.
