“There were a few things; the under cupboard lights in the kitchen don’t seem to work, we couldn’t get the plug out of the plug hole (turning the dial didn’t do anything), and the bottom freezer drawer door is broken.”

Otherwise the property was lovely and had everything we needed. It’s in a lovely peaceful location but within a good distance of shops and pubs.
Mr Barclay September 2019

“If you like peace and quiet then Dinny’s is the place!”

The cottage is finished to a high spec and has everything you need.
Mrs Lloyd June 2019

“More details on the route to the cottage.”

It could mention you approach via very narrow lanes and make it clear that you pass a STATIC caravan site. We were not aware it was situated next to a static home site, although it was fairly quite.
Mrs Barlow May 2019

“Frying pan was rusty and unusable, other pans were pitted and also unusable.”

No microwavable dishes provided. Sofa was uncomfortable, but the bed was comfortable. Curtains too shear and so could not provide much privacy in the bedroom. Good instructions from the owner on how to get there and where the keys were, but the key box was hard to see and get your fingers in. Dining arrangements were good but a coffee table would be nice.we are used to more than one two seater sofa for two people, we sat bolt upright next to each other watching TV. Overall we did have a good holiday and we travelled all around. We will be looking for somewhere a little more comfortable. A few little creature comforts would have made all the difference.

“Dinnys Retreat was stunning.”

Beautifully presented. Very welcoming, lovely extras like a fresh pint of milk on arrival. Lovely helpful information book. Just amazing highly recommend
Miss Jarman February 2019

“The attention to detail such as leaving a pint of milk with tea, coffee and hot chocolate was a pleasant surprise.”

It felt like home with the addition of maps made planning what to see and do easier. With books and DVDs available for rainy days. The dishwasher really helped and after getting drenched after cycling the washing machine with eco laundry was perfect. The fire and firewood made it very snug

“Amazing. Very peaceful and lovely cottage.”
Mr Barclay September 2018

“Great location and the facilities had everything.”
Mrs Chambers August 2018

“Dinny's Retreat is a great cottage, it has everything you need for a relaxing break.”

We didn't want to leave! Will be booking again in the future.

“Well equiped and very comfortable cottage.”

We enjoyed our stay
Mrs Wilson June 2018

“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.
Mrs Howland July 2015

“Lovely place, peaceful and relaxing.”

“Outstanding!”

Lovely accommodation which is well equipped and finished to a very high standard. The cottage is in an excellent location, quiet and peaceful yet close to Kendal and in an excellent location for traveling around the lakes. Would certainly recommend and hope to visit again!

“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.

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.

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.
