The thriving Lakeland village of Staveley is situated on the eastern fringes of the Lake District National Park and offers superb access to the whole region. The beautiful Kentmere Valley is just a short walk away and with the River Kent tumbling its way through the valley to Staveley, it is very popular with mountain bikers and walkers alike. Staveley Mill Yard is a former wood turning mill at the heart of the village, which is now a thriving tourist attraction with cycle hire and outdoor shops, cookery school, artisan bakery, brewery, the renowned Wilf's Cafe and an award-winning Indian restaurant. This complements the excellent range of amenities in the village, which include a variety of shops, two village pubs, craft shops, a children's playground and a railway station. Close by, the bustling towns of Kendal, Windermere, Bowness and Ambleside are popular with visitors, providing a range of amenities to suit all tastes. Lake Windermere offers boat trips, including a ferry to the Lakeside Aquarium and Grizedale Forest Park. The 'Windermere Steamboat Museum' displays a fascinating collection of boats whilst children will enjoy the 'World of Beatrix Potter' in Bowness, where technology brings her characters to life.

Previous visitors' comments about Meadowbank Lodge:
The cottage is lovely, with the charm of an old cottage but with well working bathroom and kitchen.
Mrs Syren, Bad Kreuznach, July 2012
We had a wonderful holiday during our second visit to Meadowbank Lodge. Well positioned to explore the Lakes for hill walking and there are also walks from the door. Staveley has great places to eat and drink plus we enjoyed having a well deserved rest looking at the lovely view from the garden. A true home from home!

Staverly Village had great facilities, especially the pub, The Eagle and Child.
Great view to the hills and set off the main road. Close to Windermere. Owners were very friendly.
Mrs Wilde, Newcastle upon Tyne, December 2011
The cottage is very cosy with lots of original features and a lovely garden with views. We had everything we needed to enjoy a relaxing holiday. The location is very good for access to all parts of The Lakes, and Staveley has some great places to eat within a five minute walk. The Eagle and Child is excellent for pub food and Starly's at Staveley has wonderful curries on offer. We can't wait to go back.
