About this property

Detached cottage in the popular Lakeland village of Staveley, nr Windermere FREE WiFi

Lying at the entrance to the peaceful Kentmere valley Staveley is within the Lake District National Park near Windermere. Holme Cottage is a detached character cottage tucked behind a terrace row of cottages, surrounding a communal lawned area,in Banks Fold in the centre of this bustling Lakeland village.

A beautifully presented sitting room with inviting living flame gas stove beckons you as you enter this attractive Lakeland Cottage. Well equipped dining kitchen. Upstairs you will find two well presented co-ordinated bedrooms and a pleasant fully tiled bathroom.

Staveley is a “mecca” for mountain bikers and cyclists due to Kentmere and Garburn Pass being on its doorstep, and there is a good sized cycle superstore in the village. Also within the thriving village you will find the Eagle and Child pub, Haweshead brewery and bar, Wilf’s cafe, a fish and chip shop, an artisan bakery, small Spar supermarket, butchers, chemists and a children’s play area and a train station - ideal if you want to head to Windermere or Kendal. Windermere is just a few miles away and travelling in the opposite direction is the medieval market town of Kendal, which is known as the gateway to the lakes.

Hi Ben Thanks for taking the time to leave a review and glad you enjoyed your stay. Hopefully the trains were not too much of an issue. Information regarding trains for future guests - the last train is around 10:30pm and as it is only a short line between Kendal and Windermere they are only two / three carriages and therefore not high speed trains.

Amazing cottage in a fabulous location

We had an amazing holiday, the location was stunning with the scenery of beautiful mountains all around. As well a really nice river flows through the village. The village is nice and peaceful and with Windermere being very close by we visited it twice in our three night holiday. The cottage was very decent and clean being the perfect size house. All in all we had a fabulous time.

Wonderful Cottage/Peaceful Location

This was a wonderfully situated cottage in a wonderful location. The process was smooth from booking on the site and check in to check out. Staveley has some good small businesses catering to most, if not all, needs. Special mention must go to Hawkshead Brewery and More Bakery which gave us something to look forward to when we returned from walking to Potter Tarn. I would definitely recommend booking this wonderful cottage to anyone.

Glad you enjoyed your time in the Lakes, sorry you did not find the beds comfortable you are the first to mention it. Obviously there are that many different types of mattresses and different levels of firmness perhaps its the opposite end of what you are used to.

An Okay to Good Rental Property in the Lake District

It was an okay rental property experience for my husband and I. It was good value for the money. The bed was comfortable, the wifi worked as well as the kitchen appliances. The things that were a minus for us was the stove was quite dirty and you are behind another house so there is not really a yard of any sort, but there is a small patio with table and chairs on it. I think from the picture of the property it looks like lots of space around it but that is not the case.

Im glad you enjoyed your holiday and found the cottage good value for money. I will mention the oven to the caretaker. There is plenty of open space outside the cottage (far more than what the photos show) however some of it is communal.

Excellent, very clean, well furnished.

This is an excellent house in superb state of repair with very good quality furniture. It is very well equipped and spotlessly clean. The booking process was simple and Martin Wardle of the agents was extremely helpful. The house is situated in a village which is very near Kendal, the lakes and just over one hour to the Solway coast. There are some very good dining places in the area with our favourite being The Watermill Inn which has its own micro brewery producing very tasty beers. All in all we had a very enjoyable holiday and brought back many memories of when I worked there in the 1970s. If it is available we would certainly stay at Holme Cottage in the future. Thankyou very much to all concerned.

Great break away

We had a lovely break the house was a great size for the four of us, the bedrooms are a decent size, the provision of equipment was also good more plates and mugs etc than just the bare minimum four often provided. The heating kept the house warm and cosy. Although set back from the road through a gennel it does make for a quiet place. We loved it!

Fantastic Cottage & Village

Had an amazing week away in this fantastic cottage in the centre of picturesque Staveley. The place was immaculate & had lots of little extras not usually provided in a holiday let. Booking was easy & communication was excellent. The caretaker was brilliant checking on us throughout our time to ensure we were happy. Staveley is not only beautiful but is a perfect base for exploring the Lakes. It has many shops, takeaways, cafés, pub, Hawkshead Brewery, small artisan businesses, play park & local walks. Despite this, the village was always peaceful with very little traffic. The facilities were all in a 10 minute stride of our tranquil cottage. The neighbours were all really friendly & helpful too. We would definitely recommend it to others.
