Milnthorpe 3 miles. Set over three floors with pretty countryside views from the upper floors, this cottage is set next door to the owners' home, on a non-working farm, in the hamlet of Milton near Milnthorpe. This semi-detached cottage has three spacious bedrooms, including a ground floor room with an adjacent shower room. The first floor open plan living accommodation at this Cumbria cottage is stylish, and exudes quality and comfort including a well-equipped fitted kitchen, sitting and dining areas. Outside this cottage near Milnthorpe is a pretty patio, which provides the perfect place for alfresco dining. There are plenty of walks available on the doorstep of this cottage in Cumbria, affording many opportunities to enjoy the resident wildlife alongside the Lancaster canal, just a short way down the lane. A pub serving food is a 10 minute walk from your welcoming Cumbria cottage, a real bonus after a day walking or cycling the numerous bridleways, with further routes available at Grizedale Forest and Kentmere Valley. Grizedale Forest also has a tree top adventure course and interesting trails through the forest. The pretty and vibrant towns of Bowness and Ambleside are within 30 minutes' drive with numerous cafes, galleries and shops. The market town of Kendal is a short drive away and the beautiful market town of Kirkby Lonsdale, with the famous Devil's Bridge, is also close by.

Once an important medieval market town, the settlement of Milnthorpe is located in the southern Lake District between Kendal and Carnforth. Just a few miles from the seaside village of Arnside, evidence of Milnthorpe's history can still be found amongst the narrow lanes and historic buildings, illustrating a time before the motor car. Set in lovely rolling countryside, the area also offers many great outdoor activities including the Lakeland Wildlife Oasis with its tropical hall and butterfly house. Dallam Tower and Levens Hall - both of which are historic stately homes with deer parks, topiary and ornamental gardens - provide a great day out for visitors. Other excellent attractions include Leighton Hall, Sizergh Castle, the Great Lakes Aquarium, Windermere and Grizedale Forest â all of which are located within easy reach.

Reviews
We have just stayed for four nights at Greystones. It was lovely! The place is excellently situated to explore the lake district and great value for money. The owners cannot do enough for you. It was my wife's birthday when we were staying at the cottage and they assisted me to ensure that she had a wonderful day...sourcing flowers, cake and a bottle of Prosecco locally and helping me to surprise her on her big day. The In-laws also stayed with us and loved the place too. We shall definitely be looking at booking again!
Lovely cosy cottage. Spotlessly clean (much appreciated in the current circumstances). Owner very friendly and helpful. Biscuits, Milk and juice on our arrival Everything you could wish for at the cottage. Good base for the Southern Lakes. Highly recommended.
This was our second stay at Greystones and we will be booking again! A very spacious and welcoming cottage - spotlessly clean and very well equipped. The beautiful Kendal to Lancaster Canal is literally on your doorstep for miles of off-lead walking, and the stunning South Lakes are moments away by car. So much to offer for a family break and lots of local information to hand.
Just returned from a week stay with friends joining ourselves for a couple of nights. Lovely clean well equipped cottage over 3 floors. Lovely bedding and towels, lovely warm accommodation. Thoughtful touch with the goodie pack when we arrived much appreciated from our hosts. Thank you. Gated area large enough for 2 cars and secure to let our dog outside. Nice walks close by for our morning walk before we set off to explore the area. Close to Kendal easy reach for with Windermere and national trust venues. We have managed to have a good week weather wise . would recommend to families or couples we loved it. Thanks again for letting us stay at your lovely cottage.
We had a great stay at Greystones, there where 3 of us and the dog. When we arrived we had a warm welcome off the owner, who couldn't have done enough for us. There was milk, bread,biscuits and other goodies provided, which was a nice thoughtful thing to do. The accommodation was on three floors which was a bedroom and shower room with wc on the bottom floor, the middle floor was the kitchen/diner/lounge which was big enough for a large family. The top floor had another two bedrooms and shower/wc room. As holiday accommodation goes this must be rated high for self catering, I have stayed in a few and this rates as one of the best I have stayed in. There are supermarkets not to far away in Kendal and Milnthorpe, with a local shop and bakery closer. There are plenty of nice eating places nearby, most are dog friendly to. It's not just the Lake District close by, your not to far from the Yorkshire Dales and the Cumbrian coast.
Last minute booking. So happy that I found this cottage! You couldnt ask for anything else. Plenty of parking. The owners were fantastic and Very friendly and helpful. Only to happy to help. Lot's of small touches that show how caring the owners are and how the extra mile. Milk,fruit and biscuits were placed in kitchen. Was nice to find washing up liquid, tablets for dish washer and tabs for washing machine. Plenty of towels. Lovely outside area. Lovely area. Saw lot's of rabbit's. Fantastic WiFi! Would definitely go back. Thank you for a lovely stay.
This is a lovely cottage which has everything you could ask for. The parking facilities are brilliant. The owners are lovely and more than happy to help any way they can. Lots of little extras which shows how much the owners care. Would definitely recommend to friends and family and I hope to return.
The cottage had everything needed for a comfortable stay; all new furnishings, spotlessly clean, finishing touches, every detail was included. Situated in a peaceful location, very quiet. The owners were very helpful and we would definitely recommend the property to friends and family. We would love to return one day.
I would unhesitatingly recommend this property, it was fantastic on every level.
"We had a fantastic stay and would definitely recommend this convenient property to anyone visiting the local area. The property was comfortable, spacious and extremely clean. The owners were very friendly and we loved chatting with them."
The cottage was beautiful I didn't want to leave. I was really pleased with everything had a very good holiday. The owner and there family were very friendly and helpful.
The cottage was amazing. Beautifully decorated, spotlessly clean and extremely well equipped. The owner was very helpful and friendly. Without any doubt the nicest cottage we have ever stayed at.
Can't praise this place enough. Even though its 'self catering' when we arrived they'd popped some fresh milk, coffee, fruit and biscuits in ready to get us set up. The whole cottage was immaculate throughout - the devil is in the detail and little touches like a big draw full of DVDs kept our 2 small boys entertained in the evenings... They also really appreciated the 'night lights' in the hallways that came on in evenings too! The facilities inside all felt top quality and we weren't left needing for anything, it comfortably slept 6 of us. The lady who ran the cottage was lovely and really keen to make sure we had everything we needed to have a great stay. 5 stars, highly recommended!
Excellent property well positioned to explore the Lakes and the Yorkshire Dales.
Nice people and super location. The apartment was fine in all ways.
Greystones is lovely and the way it is set out is very good, 3 floors - Bedrooms top and bottom and kitchen diner/ Lounge in between, A lovely couple run it and they are close enough to solve any problems but leave you to enjoy your holiday. I would recommend this to anyone.
Good location for walks and sightseeing. Very close to road connections in the region; but still felt rural and quiet. We were made to feel most welcome by our host and found her to be very helpful. Cottage was lovely and very comfortable. Milton was a very picturesque hamlet; although driving down the narrow country lanes was a bit daunting at first, we soon got used to it and sussed out when best to avoid other road users. We were fortunate to enjoy wonderful weather, so made good use of it through day trips and scenic walks and really did not have time to visit any of the big house attractions or museums in the area. Good base for visiting the Southern Lakes and surrounding area.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Greystones and would recommend it highly to anyone wanting a pastoral location in the Lake District.
Plenty of places to explore around the area. The property was new, comfortable and modern. The owner and family were lovely.
