However, this was quickly sorted with a call to the owner. Cottage is spacious, with 3 double bedrooms (two are ensuite), a bathroom, sitting room, dining room, kitchen, conservatory and cloakroom. Also a small garden and parking for two cars. Facilities were fine, including WiFi. Dishwasher tablets were supplied so we used that every day, but we didn't have any washing powder so we were not able to use that. Grill and oven could do with a thorough clean. There is a small post office two minute walk away, stocking basic food stuffs. For bigger shops you can drive to Grange over Sands (10 minutes away) for Tesco Express or Co-op stores. Cottage is in the southern end of the Lakes, close to the bottom end of Windermere and also not far from Coniston. Bit of a drive to get up to the northern lakes. It provided a comfortable base for our stay.

“A lovely cottage with plenty of room and good facilities.”

A great location less than 10 mins to Windemere in one direction and the coast at Grange in the other.

- Mr Thompson, August 2018
“Cottage well presented and clean.”

In a lovely location not isolated but nicely private. Neighbours all friendly and when walking around village many people said Hello. Had a great week and will certainly return

“The cottage was lovely and set in the small village of Lindale.”

Great gastro pub - Royal Oak only 10 min walk away. Cottage is very clean and had everything you could really ask for. Only two issues:- Wifi was very patchy on occasions and would work for say 15 mins with great speeds but then suddenly crash - just needs sorting and is a common theme in the reviews. We are used to a 5.5 foot bed and the standard double is just not big enough for us. Plenty of room for a larger bed in the master room though. If these two points could be rectified we would be delighted to return.

“A fantastic cottage.”

Felt like we were at home. Children didn't want to leave. Thank you again.

“It's was not clear that the open fire had a starter pack and would have to be maintained by the visitors.”

It's not ideall since for us were not familiar with the surroundings and did not know we're to get the logs/coals from so that was not good! Plus it requires a car.

“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.

“Good value accomodation”

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

“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.

“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.

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.

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.
