“We really enjoyed the cottage.”

Come prepared to self cater as there is now only one pub open Thurs to Sat. There is a brilliant butchers and take away sin Grange over Sands. We will be coming back here as it is a great base for exploring the Windermere area.

“This is a perfect property for a family (3 generation) holiday - plenty of space, great facilities, nice bedrooms, 2 with en suite, well equipped house with all that you need.”

Lovely outdoor space too. Property owner was really responsive when we had a query too - thank you!

“The Barbecue was not clean and not fit for purpose.”

out side table and chairs not very comfortable. Kitchen could have been cleaner, especially with the Covid virus situation. Glass chopping board needs binning as it is a health hazard. Sink bowl is too large for the size sink. it was hard to lift out and empty. recycle bins were full when we arrived. No linen bags to put bedding in when we left. It is a lovely cottage on the whole but just needs the points raised sorting out. There is only one pub and its not 3 min walk. it is only open 3 days The lindale inn is no longer there it is now a car garage . When renting places out you need to let people know what is around and changes. That is a big factor when people are booking.

- Mr Murray, August 2020
“Lovely house, very comfortable home from home.”

We all enjoyed our stay very much, beautiful area and very peaceful. Property has everything you need and more. Very nice owners and on hand should you need anything. Great area of the Lake District and an excellent base for visiting other places such as Windermere and Morecombe. Would highly recommend.

- Mrs Williams, July 2020
“The property is as stated, it has many useful gadgets in the house.”

2 en-suites, family bathroom and down stairs toilet are great when there are lots of people there., There is enough space that you don't feel on top of each other. There is actually room for 3 small cars on the drive way - you do have to pull in tightly as the parking is against a road leading to a farm. It is in a good location with many great places to visit within an hour. I felt the beds were small - but I am used to a king size - my feet hung off the end (I'm 5ft 4!). The towel rails get really hot - I nearly scaled myself when I touched my arm against it - be aware if going with small children. There is also currently a very loud cockerel at the farm up the lane, he started from about 3.30am so wasn't ideal for uninterrupted sleep. There is a pub 10 minutes up the hill and the local shop has everything you would need. Grange-over-Sands is only 10 minutes away for more local amenities.

“Everything was great even had Christmas tree and decorations.”

. A perfect base for a holiday.

- Mr Moloney, December 2019
“Lovely cottage in great location.”

All the facilities you would want in a holiday home.

- Mr Broderick, September 2019
“The cottage was beautiful with everything you needed.”

Lovely size and really comfortable. The location was just right, with everything we wanted to visit no more than half an hour away. Very peaceful and relaxing with such beautiful scenery.

- Mrs Pilson, September 2019
“We (6 adults) had a fantastic few days here - a beautiful cottage, extremely comfortable and well equipped.”

It really felt like a home from home. Lindale is a lovely little village, providing easy access to the coast and Lakes; a perfect location. We couldn’t have asked for more.

- Mr Lane, August 2019
“A very well appointed and clean cottage.”

- Mr Whittingham, July 2019
“Great cottage, with a nice pub about 400m away.”

- Mr Mitchell, June 2019
“Great Location”

Briarcliffe Cottage is located in the village of Lindale just off the A590, It's a great location for visiting the many attractions of the Southern Lake District. The cottage is beautifully presented, with three well sized bedrooms, two of which have en-suites, leaving the main bathroom as a private bathroom for bedroom three. Downstairs the lounge, dining room and kitchen are well equipped. With an attached sun room accessed from the rear there is plenty of room to leave footwear and wet clothing, not something we needed as we had fine weather.

“One of our best holidays”

What a fantastic time we had at Briarcliffe Cottage. made very welcome, the cottage it's self was brilliant, very comfortable and very spacious. Loved the garden area aswell as I think we booked the best week of the year. 10 out of 10

“Good value accomodation”

Good south lakes location. Pleasant house with lovely bedrooms and en-suites, ideal for our family with Granny & Gramps staying too.

- A FlipKey verified reviewer, November 2010
“Quality and space at a sensible price”

This is a superb property. It would be especially suitable for three couples who want some degree of privacy. It is maintained to a very high standard and has plenty of space. Lindale makes a very convenient base to explore the South Cumbria area.

- Robert, May 2010
“Fantastic”

We thought the house was very spacious and the facilities were of a very high standard. All the rooms were of a high standard. The kitchen was wel equipped and there were plenty of crockery etc. The house was very warm and although we were looking forward to lighting the open fire we did not need to. If we wanted to stay in this area again we would certain hope that this property was available.

“The lindale experience”

Excellent service from both Sykes and the owner. Cottage decorated and furnished to high standard, beautiful throughout. Ideal location for walking and handy for touring the Lake District. Couple of nice eating pubs and a shop on the doorstep.

- A FlipKey verified reviewer, January 2010
“Perfect.”

Our time spent in the Lake District was Ace. Everything about our goliday there was great,the cottage was everything we wished for and more,would highly recommend it. Good base to stay, as there is so much to see and do around the area. Lindale is a nice little village, with a good pub at top of the hill, good food served,with nice friendly staff. Grange-Over-Sands which is a ten minute drive away, is a small town with excellent shops ,and eating places. Not to be missed,as it has lots of features from the Edwardian times. We shall go back thats for sure,as it was the perfect place to relax and enjoy the wide open spaces that the Lakes have to offer.Just beautiful.

“Couldn't have been more enjoyable!”

The property was of very high standard and as this was the first time we've stayed in a holiday cottage we've been totally spoiled. The decor was excellent and there was such a homely feel from the moment we stepped in. There was so much space in every room and we had plenty of room that the two families that stayed there didn't get under one anothers feet (4 adults, 2 four year olds and a 6 month old). The cottage was ideally located, close to many places to visit and Lindale itself was very quaint and quiet. Couldn't fault the property at all - excellent.

“Quality Counts”

Having arrived at the cottage in LINDALE rather earlier than the allocated time, we were met by a young lady who had just finished cleaning it.She was absolutely brilliant and told us everything we wanted to know about the cottage and surrounding area. This is definately the best cottage we have ever stayed in. It is very big and spacious, and finished to a very high specification, situated in a great location for exploring the South Lakes area. There are two pubs nearby, but I wouldnt recommend the bottom one for eating. The one at the top of the hill is far better and has a lovely beer garden if the weather is nice.Be aware, however, that the shop / post office isn't open all day so bring enough supplies for the first couple of days. The supermarkets and shops in Grange-Over-Sands, which is a short drive away ,are well stocked for everything needed during a stay at the cottage. There is nothing negative that I could say about this cottage. It is the best we have ever stayed in and I doubt we will find one as good anywhere in the uk

“Excellent accommodation”

The property is furnished to a high standard, in fact we could not find fault in anything, everything was there that we needed. In a quiet village close to an excellent public house serving good food and nicely located for visiting the Lake District.

The property

A fabulous, stone-built, semi-detached cottage, quietly nestling in the traditional Lakeland village of Lindale, on the scenic and largely undiscovered Lakeland Peninsula.

Lovingly renovated in 2007 to provide a superb blend of original character with contemporary style, Briarcliffe Cottage is spacious and stylish throughout, boasting an open fire, two lavish en-suite bathrooms with underfloor heating and a charming summer room leading to an attractive courtyard garden.

There are many pleasant walks from the doorstep, whilst Lindale's quaint, narrow streets are home to traditional dwellings, a shop and welcoming old pubs.

Cartmel, the coastal resorts of Arnside and Grange-over-Sands and mystical Lake Windermere are all well worth a visit.

An idyllic holiday retreat.

About the location

LINDALE

Grange-over-Sands 2 miles; Cartmel 3.6 miles; Windermere 12 miles.

Lindale, a small village situated in the south of The Lake District National Park, now a UNESCO World Heritage Site and just a few miles from Lake Windermere, makes the area a perfect holiday destination. Set amidst the charm of The Southern Lakes, this attractive village, with handy gastropub, The Royal Oak, makes an inspiring choice from which to enjoy the whole of this magical area. Just a few minutes drive brings you to Cartmel, a delightful village to wander around, famed for its delicious sticky toffee pudding, 12th century priory, National Hunt race meetings and gourmet restaurants. You could also visit Grange-over-Sands, a charming seaside Edwardian town. Take a stroll on the promenade and return through the quaint narrow streets with some lovely tea rooms and specialist shops including a bakery, chocolatiers, and award winning butchers. The Lake District has so much to offer, there is sailing on Windermere, cycling in The Grizedale Forest, Go Ape Treetop adventures, Birdwatching at Leighton Moss and The Foulshaw Osprey Experience. There are also stately homes at Holker Hall, Levens Hall and Sizergh Castle and a heritage steam railway which runs from Haverthwaite to Lakeside. The Arnside and Silverdale Area of Outstanding Beauty is also a short journey away. But leaving the best till last, walking or touring in the fabulous Lake District, with its fells, lakes and tarns is an absolute must, most of which is just a short drive or walk away.
