We received a warm welcome from the owner, who met us with milk and flowers for our stay. We can totally understand the "upside down" layout of the cottage having seen the views from the upstairs living room window, the view was calming and preferable to the tv on many occasions! The cottage was well kitted out, very clean and the bed and mattress were excellent. As I have some mobility restrictions the separate shower was much appreciated. The cottage location was quiet with an allotted and spacious secure parking space. We would be happy to return.

“The top end of range of appliances ...”

The top end of range of appliances were used but needed to consult manual before use. Cottage very cold downstairs on arrival. Took a couple of days to work out how to use central heating and towel rail to heat up downstairs. Heating should have been on before arrival in a snowy December.

“Peaceful & relaxing”

We rented this property for 1 week in July. This was our first visit to the Lake District and also our first experience of rental so didn't know what to expect. Dinny's retreat is absolutely superb and situated on the edge of a working farm in a peaceful and tranquil location. The owners supplied milk, tea & coffee sachets for our arrival which was helpful. I have recommending this property to friends and would definitely return here if we decide to visit the area again.

“Very Tranquil”

This was our first visit to the Lake District & also the first time we had booked a cottage, and we're so glad we did. Dinny's is in a very peaceful location with lots of wildlife and even though it's on the edge of a working farm, there's no disturbance from machinery or anything. It's been renovated to a very high standard and is clean, comfortable and very well equipped. The owners even provide complimentary toiletries and milk, coffee etc., for your arrival. If we ever decide to holiday in the area again we would definitely return to Dinny's.

Roe Deer Cottages

Kendal 4 miles. These two holiday cottages are situated on a family-run livestock farm, surrounded by rolling countryside in the hamlet of Selside, close to Kendal and the Lake District National Park. These two spacious and comfortable Lake District cottages have been lovingly created from old farm buildings and each are furnished and decorated to a very high standard, whilst retaining character features such as exposed beams. Each of these Cumbria cottages overlooks a tarn and has a private decked area, along with a private lawned garden, so no matter what time of day you can unwind and enjoy the peaceful surroundings, or you may wish to relax and observe the local wildlife, consisting of pheasant, woodpeckers and the two resident deer. There is so much to do in the area with a number of walking and cycling routes on the doorstep plus the Yorkshire Dales, Eden Valley, Lake District, Windermere and Ullswater are all close by. The town of Kendal is a 10-minute drive away offering charming alleyways, many lovely restaurants and individual shops, plus Sizergh Castle with its beautiful parkland and gardens are well worth exploring. Heading into Yorkshire, you will find the White Scar Caves at Ingleton, which give an insight into the underground world formed over thousands of years. These two Lake District cottages are a perfect retreat for a couple, at any time of the year.

About the location

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.
