  • "We stayed for a week in August, and had a great time."

    Two adults, two kids and hound. The house is remotely located, about 10mins drive from Kendal. It is situated down a very long private track. So ideal if you want a true getaway! However, the signage is poor. And it takes a leap of faith to follow the drive far enough to find the property. A few signposts would remove that arrival stress. When you do pluck up the courage to follow the track beyond what feels like the end of civilisation, you cross a cattle grid and crest a hill to see Stang in all its glory. A large, white wash farmhouse with ample gardens all around. You'll be surrounded by a herd of dairy cows, who we found to be quite inquisitive and friendly. Once parked on the large gravel driveway, you enter via large porch area. The property and its furnishings are old. But beautifully so. Like any managed rental, you will find cobwebs and little bits which I am sure the owner wouldn't usually have around, but that's not unique to Stang. The property is very large and we never used some of the rooms. The kitchen is the hub of the house, and warm with its arga oven belting out heat 24/7 - very cosy. There are nice touches like fishing rods (but no fish in the river while we were there), and a ping-pong table for guests. There is a pub nearby ish, a little over 1 mile away and the walk back at night is pitch black - so take a torch. A car is essential here. And you have a large Asda between Stang and Kendal, so never far from anything you'd need. The hot water/shower supply is unique... a kinda on/off pulsating affair. And noisy. We put it down to being a happy quirk of the house and it never caused a problem. The TV in the living room has Netflix, but the house has no radio or music system. I felt the kitchen could have done with a little radio, but thats personal preference. Would I recommend - yes. Would I go back - yes. Should you consider it - yes. Happy holidays!

    Thanks Stephen Good point on signage and a radio. The river is full of brown trout so have a go next time! Worth leaving a night line out from the bridge! Property Owner

  • "Beautiful farmhouse in a peaceful location."

    The kitchen has everything you need and we loved the AGA. The house was very clean and had lots of pictures and ornaments. The wi-fi only worked upstairs but that wasn't an issue. The house is surrounded by the owners fields,the gardens were beautiful. A lovely relaxing week away.

After a day of exploring, the sitting room is the perfect place to cocoon away in the evenings and enjoy some quality family time in front of the woodburning stove, or even head through to the snug and enjoy a quiet moment away from the group.

The kitchen is the perfect place to whip up delicious meals, whilst the dining room with its character features is the ideal spot for gathering round the table and sharing stories over a bottle of wine.

Venture up to the first floor and you’ll find four well-appointed bedrooms, including a king-size with en-suite shower, a king-size, a double and a twin, each retaining a character feel and equipped with ample storage for your personal belongings.

These bedrooms are served by a bathroom with bath, shower over, basin, heated towel rail and WC.

Outside, enjoy the beauty of the countryside with a stroll around the garden and surrounding fields; your four-legged friends will appreciate the space!

There is a river running through the land which is full of brown trout, guests are welcome to test their skills and try a spot of fishing.

Take a leisurely stroll towards the village of Helme which backs the property and stop for some refreshments at the Punchbowl Pub and Station Inn.

When you’re ready to explore, a few miles north rests the vibrant market town of Kendal, filled with a selection of independent shops, cafes, restaurants and pubs as well as the Castle Museum home to a wealth of history and charming walks.

KENDAL

Windermere 8 miles.

A historic market town with a fine reputation for shopping, Kendal nestles on the banks of the River Kent and is known as the Southern Gateway to the Lakes. Its old cobbled lanes and byways branch off the attractive main street, and the stone ruins of 12th century Kendal Castle sit perched on a hill with views over the town. Visit The Abbot Hall Art Gallery, its regular collection holding portraits by Kendal born George Romney and works by Turner and Ruskin, with other exhibitions through its links with the Tate. Both Sizergh Castle and Levens Hall with its superb Topiary Garden are nearby, as are limestone escarpments for easy walking, offering thrilling views of the Lakeland Mountains, the Howgills and Morecambe Bay. Kendal itself is ideally placed for exploring South Lakeland, the Yorkshire Dales and beyond. With other attractions such as Kendal Museum and the Museum of Lakeland Life, the fascinating Quaker Tapestry, Lake Windermere and the wider National Park within easy reach, Kendal provides a superb base for a relaxing break.
