Accommodation Details

2 bedrooms: 1 x first floor master suite with bathroom, 1 x ground floor king size with en-suite. Sitting/dining room. Kitchen. Conservatory.

Dating back to the 17th century, Foxdene Cottage is a magical retreat in an equally wonderful setting. Backing onto woodland and with views over the stunning Lyth Valley, this is paradise for those looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The property is beautifully decorated throughout and having two gorgeous bedrooms with private bathrooms it makes a superb choice for two couples sharing. The cottage is positioned at the end of a long leafy driveway and is entered through a stable door leading into a slate floored hallway. The delightful kitchen is a real treat with its granite worktops, large Belfast sink and Rangemaster stove. In turn, it leads into the light and airy conservatory with access to the sun terrace. The sitting room manages to be both generous and cosy. Sublimely comfortable chairs and sofa are arranged around the feature fireplace with welcoming wood burning stove. The original oak beams have been carefully preserved, and a stylish dining area is somewhere guests will enjoy long, lively conversations over a delicious evening meal. The Lyth Valley is somewhat of a hidden gem and lies to the east of Lake Windermere, and twenty five minutes from Bowness. The area is peppered with lovely local pubs, many serving top notch food and fine local ales. Worth a special mention are the Mason’s Arms at Strawberry Bank and The Punchbowl at Crosthwaite. Make the drive to Bowness and you will find plenty of entertainment. The quirky Royalty Cinema, Old Laundry Theatre, a wide range of bars and restaurants and supermarkets should you wish to fill the fridge with delicious local produce.

Underbarrow is a quiet, pretty Lakeland village close to the historic market town of Kendal and within reach of the wonderful Lake Windermere. The village has a pub and is ideally placed for exploring southern Lakeland and the Lake District National Park. Sizergh Castle and Levens Hall, both with fine gardens, are nearby, and Kendal has much to offer in terms of shopping and is quite lively culturally, thanks to the Brewery Arts Centre and the Abbot Hall Art Gallery and Museum, which is widely recognised as one of the best in the region. Also worth a visit is the ruin of Kendal Castle, which was formerly the home of Katherine Parr, and there’s plenty to see and do with Grange-over-Sands, Cartmel, Ulverton, Bowness, Ambleside and even the Yorkshire Dales National Park within driving distance. Underbarrow is a lovely base for exploring the area.
