Description

Olive Cottage is a welcoming retreat located in the heart of Kirkby Stephen, a characterful market town in scenic Cumbria.

Ideally positioned between the Yorkshire Dales and the Lake District National Parks, this cottage is a perfect base for couples or small families keen to explore some of England’s most picturesque landscapes.

Inside the well-equipped kitchen/diner offers a warm space to prepare and share meals together, while upstairs, this first-floor sitting room invites you to relax beside the crackling woodburning stove on cooler evenings.

The second floor features a king-size bedroom along with a cosy single bedroom and a convenient shower room with a walk-in shower, basin, WC, and heated towel rail.

While Olive Cottage doesn’t include a garden, everything you need is right on your doorstep - from traditional pubs and local shops to footpaths leading straight into the stunning countryside.

After a day of walking or sightseeing, the king-size bedroom provides a place to rest those sleepy heads.

Outside, Kirkby Stephen is yours to explore.

Stroll through its quaint streets, browse its independent shops, or take a scenic walk to the impressive Podgill Viaduct.

Just beyond, the dramatic landscapes of the Yorkshire Dales unfold, Smardale Gill Viaduct, the windswept heights of Nine Standards Rigg, and the cascading Aysgarth Falls all await.

To the west, the Lake District offers more beauty—sail across Ullswater, visit the shores of Windermere, or spend an afternoon discovering Kendal’s history and charm.

Whether you're seeking peace or adventure, Olive Cottage is a welcoming gateway to the natural splendour of northern England.

Gorgeous house in the heart of Kirkby Stephen.

Spotlessly clean with everything we needed. The weather was particularly bad when we came up so it was the perfect place for us to stay as it was so cosy. We cooked a couple of evenings in and had no problems doing it. The bed was so comfy and the shower was lovely and hot too! We spent a few days visiting the Iron Forge for drinks that took us about 2 minutes to get there. We also had their pre-book able meal cooked on a hot stone that was amazing. We definitely want to come back to Kirkby Stephen and Olive Cottage
