"Another lovely holiday at Cinderbarrow Cottage."
So relaxing, homely and clean, and everything has been thought of. Thank you.
-
"Well equipped, all clean and tidy, bed comfortable, usual 'soggy' sofas but otherwise an excellent cottage in a quiet area."
-
"An extremely well equipped kitchen."
Very comfortable beds and seats, Clear instructions provided for the TV remotes and all other technical stuff. Beautiful garden space with delightful views. If you're over six foot tall, be aware that there are several places where you need to make sure you duck!

"We really enjoyed our 2 weeks at Cinderbarrow."
The setting was perfect. The cottage was well equipped, comfortable and peaceful. Great view from the top of the garden, and a lovely patio to enjoy the privacy and sense of spaciousness. The owners were responsive and helpful. We'd love to come back.

"We had a very enjoyable stay at your cottage."
Thankyou for our tea coffee sugar milk & biscuits which saved us having too dash out again on arrival.This cottage is very caringly equipped with everything you could possibly need too use on a holiday.Enjoyed sitting in the beautiful garden with a book at teatimes.If we are in the area we would definately stay again.
-
"Great location for exploring the lakes."
Being on south side means that you feel away from the hustle and bustle of Windermere but plenty to do. The cottage had plenty of space for a family of 4. The views from the terrace and garden are amazing, perfect for a morning tea and end of day drink. Plenty private parking and walked to great village play park. So many national trust places close by that occupied us for easily for a week!
-
"Comfortable cottage with all we needed."
-
"Amazing property, we will 100% be rebooking for next year."
Lovely and clean, welcome pack was much appreciated after a long drive. Would have liked a visitor book to write in, and perhaps a little more info on places to eat locally, recommendations on pubs and restaurants etc, but honestly a wonderful stay in a beautiful cottage. Loved every minute of it.
-
"Beautiful cottage, so clean and homely."
We relaxed straight away. Lovely welcome items from the owners Susan and Peter. Friendly neighbours - animal, bird and human, and the added bonus of a gorgeous well kept garden to enjoy. Great walks across to Sizergh, Helsington Church, Holeslack Farm through the bluebell woods, and Levens Hall. Hardly used the car. Thank you. 5 stars.
-
"I was really impressed with the high standard of the facilities in the cottage."
It has quality furniture and flooring throughout, a spacious modern bathroom and a very well equipped kitchen, including a large American style fridge-freezer. The owners supplied the user manuals for all the appliances and easy to use instructions for the TV and internet. They also provided a lovely welcome pack comprising tea, coffee, biscuits and milk. The location of the cottage is ideal for accessing the road network for the south and east of the Lake District.
-
"Lovely cottage, well equipped and clean, in a great quiet location good for the Lakes and Leighton Moss."
-
"Lovely cottage on the edge of the Lake District."
The property was really clean, comfortable and well equipped. Bike storage and parking are only 50yds away... and they is plenty of it! The property has really good WiFi, but no smart TV... a small niggle! One of the cleanest, most well maintained properties we have stayed in. We really enjoyed our stay.
-
"Beautiful place, they have thought of everything."
Fridge is space age and has an Ice maker. Amazing views of Whitbarrow from the bench at the top of the garden. Nice to sit in the sun with a glass of wine on the patio. Beds v comfy and clean. Thank you very much will definitely stay again.
-
"Simply my favourite cottage."
I have stayed several times in this lovely, cosy and well-equiped cottage. The owner is friendly and helpful, responding promptly to any questions or requests. I particularly appreciate the little extras provided: teabags, coffee, milk in the fridge - and biscuits

"Fabulous cottage, beautifuly presented, clean, cosy and perfect for our needs."
As a family of four we enjoyed a hike out from the cottage and another from Windermere which is close by. The host was happy to help if needed.
-
"We had an excellent holiday in this lovely cottage."
It has been modernised to a high standard with everything (and more than) we needed to enjoy our stay and is very clean. Susan and Peter were friendly and helpful but not at all intrusive. Bench at the top of the garden provides a great view of the surrounding area. Watch out for a couple of low beams! Levens is a pleasant village with an excellent shop and good access to all the attractions of the Lake District and further afield.
-
"A very clean and comfortable cottage, always a pleasure to stay there."
Very warm and cosy to return to, especially after a rainy day walk. Everything you need is provided from a very thoughtful owner.
-
"Very well equipped cottage, one of the best we have stayed in."
A handy village shop and pub was a bonus and the easy access to main roads to take us in any direction was a plus. Parking was easy. The area is lovely and unspoilt so we were very happy. One improvement we suggest is a power shower over the bath. Otherwise, everything was thoughtfully provided.
-
"We had a great week in this cottage."
It is very comfortable and well equipped. It is also in a good position for exploring the Lakes and all they have to offer. Communication with the owner was very easy and she offered useful advice. We all agreed that we would happily stay there again.
-
"This cottage was a little gem."
So clean and comfortable and in such a great location to explore The Lake District. The owners provided everything we needed and it was just a really lovely week's stay. The private garden is an unexpected bonus and has a bench with the best view! We'll definitely be booking again in the future!
-
"Thank you for a lovely stay at the cottage we loved the little extras you provided after sutch a long journey from Wales, we would love to stay again."
-
"A lovely little cottage in a very quiet rural setting with fabulous views."
Mostly well equipped but could benefit from a hairdryer and perhaps an apron in kitchen everything else was at hand. Be warned if you have bad knees as the sofas are very low but comfy.
-
"We just came back from a holiday in Cinderbarrow Cottage and we had a lovely time."
The cottage is lovely. It was spotlessly clean and the kitchen was extremely well stocked with everything we needed and more. The sofas were comfortable as were the beds. Bathroom is spacious with a lovely shower and big bath. The private parking space is extremely helpful. It was just a wonderful little holiday cottage in a gorgeous village and a perfect base to explore the south Lakes. Our 4 year old didn't want to leave. We will definitely be coming back.
-
"A wonderful cottage in a perfect location."
We had a fantastic week at Cinderbarrow Cottage. We couldn't find any fault at all with the cottage. It was very clean and comfortable and is maintained to a very high standard. Everything you could possibly want was provided. The garden was well maintained and beautifully planted. We will definitely book again and are already recommending it to family and friends. Thank you.
-

"Perfect holiday cottage."
Spotlessly clean and comfortable. Beautiful garden to relax in. Really enjoyed our stay.
-
"A lovely cottage filled with everything you could need."
Kitchen equipment of a very high standard and cottage very spacious. We loved the large beautiful garden and the fantastic views. The wildlife friendly garden, with bird feeders, bug hotel and bird boxes was really appreciated as we enjoyed sitting taking in the lovely scenery. Private parking nearby a real bonus. Lovely meal at the Hare and Hounds in the village, good coffee and food at Levens and Low Sizergh Barn nearby. Cottage was a perfect base for us as we had lots of favourite places to visit and all very close by. Will definitely come back. thanks for a great week.
-
"A wonderful week in a superb cottage."
Exceptionally clean, comfortable, very well equipped and stylish. The welcome selection of tea, coffee, sugar, biscuits and milk was most appreciated after our rather long eight hour journey from Norfolk. Only wish we had more time to make use of the lovely large garden with its sensational views. This is by far the best well appointed cottage we have stayed in for a while with Sykes. We found the area great for exploring the southern and mid Lakes. We had a very busy week as you will see from all the leaflets. Hope you don't mind but we left a selection of them in the drawer of the TV cabinet for your future guests as there were none. Thank you so much again.
-
"Great stay before easter, thanks"
-
"I’ve stayed at Cinderbarrow 5 or 6 times now - because it is lovely."
The owner keeps it incredibly clean, it is looked after and cared for and everything you need is tucked away in easy to find places. I particularly love the box with candles and a torch should there be a power cut! It’s warm and comfy and lovely. Levens is a really nice village, and the Hare and Hounds pubs is great for food (do book - super popular on Friday and Saturday nights).
-
"Lovely property Great situation for exploring the area Everything you need!"
-
"Absolutely lovely property."
Very clean. Nicely furnished and decorated so it has a great homely feel. Well equipped. Nice tidy garden too with great views. An excellent property and hosts. Thank you.

"This is the nicest cottage we’ve ever stayed in."
Scrupulously clean, fresh and bright. Excellent quality appliances in the kitchen. Beautiful terrace and garden area. Very convenient off road parking. Tea, coffee, milk and biscuits provided on arrival. Great communications with the owner. Very accommodating for our needs as we have a one year old. Would thoroughly recommend and would visit again in the future.

Clean, modern inside. Garden and terrace to die for. Quiet lane with zero traffic. Family friendly. No complaints at all. A hidden gem.
-

Location was ideal for us and we would strongly recommend Cinderbarrow to anyone..

June 2022 Had a wonderful week in this lovely comfortable cottage, which also has a fabulous garden Everything you could need is here, great surrounding area with easy access to the Lakes
-
"We had a very relaxing time at Cinderbarrow Cottage."
Everything was catered for and it was a good base for exploring the Southern lakes. Highlyrecommended
-
"Cinderbarrow cottage is one of the nicest properties that we have rented recently."
I would highly recommend it. The owners appear to know what they are doing.
-
"A well appointed and comfortable cottage that provided everything that we required."
The upper terrace was a great place to chill out after a long day in the hills. Levens is very friendly place where local people stop to say hello.
-
"Cinderbarrow Cottage is very pretty throughout including the lovely large rear garden ."
We could not fault cleanliness , comfort, quality of furnishings and equipment , and period features. Susan and Peter are kind and helpful , and we hope to return in the future.
-
"We had an excellent stay in a very comfortable cottage."
Parking was excellent and if we had had bikes plenty of room to store them. The village shop is exceptionally well stocked and the cottage a great base for the Southern Lakes
-
"Cinderbarrow is a pretty cottage in a lovely location; warm and welcoming, with excellent facilities - a real home from home."
A great deal of care and attention has been taken by the owners to make you comfortable and provide everything you might need. There are plenty of great walks right from the door, but it isn’t far to the higher Lake District fells around the Windermere area if you want those. There’s a good village shop and local pub too. Can’t wait to come back!
-
"Gorgeous cottage and extremely clean."
We visited with our twin babies, the property owners kindly provided a cot and extra high chair, this assisted in making our stay thoroughly enjoyable. Would love to visit again.
-
"This was our second stay at delightful Cinderbarrow in the space of a few months."
It felt lovely to return to this comfortable, homely and well-equipped place. The owners clearly care about their cottage and guests. Once again we found the village and its pub very friendly and welcoming. We enjoyed a variety of beautiful walks and days out in the area. We intend to return yet again before too long.
-
"Everything was fantastic and the airing of the cottage is so peaceful."
We wanted for nothing and enjoyed our stay.
-
"I suspect that the question most people would like to ask is "Would you book this cottage again?"
" The answer is most certainly YES. There is great attention to detail both in the finish to this property and the quality and quantity of the items that the owners have provided. It is located on the southern edge of the Lake District and therefore convenient to get to many areas. Certainly one of the best properties we have booked in recent years.
-
"Lovely place, second time we have stayed there."
Clean, tidy and got everything you need. Owners are lovely and can't fault anything.
-
"Cinderbarrow cottage is fabulous."
It is in a lovely little village about 20 minutes from Windermere. The cottage is so comfortable and cozy with absolutely everything you need the pictures on sykes site do not do it justice. I always take my own cleaning products but everything was provided. The cottage is so spotlessly clean one of the cleanest we have ever stayed in. We will definitely stay again when in the lake district. Do not over look this little gem of a property it is gorgeous.
-
"We visited in early October and our weather was awful most of the time, but the cottage was warm, peaceful and comfortable."
It was very well equipped (especially the kitchen), with a lovely garden and convenient parking. Levens is an excellent centre for exploring the South Lakes and has a very well-stocked village shop. The owners were extremely helpful with a problem we caused for ourselves and responded the same day. They provided many thoughtful touches, which we appreciated.
-
"Lovely clean, tidy cottage with everything you require, crockery and cutlery looked new, comfy lounge and walking distance to pub (0."
9 mile). Quiet village, but we'll stocked shop, plenty of walks from doorstep. Altogether everything you would want of a holiday cottage.
-
"Stunning location just returned after a week at the cottage couldn’t fault it, ..."
Stunning location just returned after a week at the cottage couldn’t fault it, lovely views from the garden and patio area nice village shop and local pub
-
"A beautifully refurbished cottage, with excellent facilities, and a delightful garden incorporating a reasonably spacious patio area and a long sloping lawn with extensive views from the top."
Altogether an excellent location for the Eastern Lakes.
-
"The Cottage is spacious and well equipped."
It is situated within peaceful surroundings and easy access for places to visit. The garden is very well kept with wonderful views from the seating at the top. The Patio area with adequate space for relaxing and dinning is perfect. A place we will return to.
-
"Have stayed at Cinderbarrow Cottage three times because it’s lovely."
Cosy, clean, and everything you need is neatly stored. Really beautiful garden too - it’s Hosta Heaven! Always feel instantly at home in Cinderbarrow.
-
"Great cottage, with lovely garden with many birds coming to the feeders"
-
"Cinderbarrow Cottage is very comfortable and beautifully appointed with high quality furnishings, fittings and appliances."
The garden and patio area are lovely, with amazing views from the top of the garden. The owners have paid a lot of attention to detail and provide nice touches such as fresh flowers and bedside torches. The Levens village shop is very useful, stocking a wide variety of essentials and some excellent local produce.
-
"Owner very helpful regarding key collection."
Place was spotless so we felt safe in view of Covid precautions. Owner had kindly left everything needed to get started for our week as well as good stock of cleaning materials. Nice to have enough crockery to make use of the dishwasher. Because of very cold weather we didn't do as much walking as usual but some beautiful drives through stunning scenery with snow on the hills and a few walks around the village and nearby with plenty of varieties of birds to see. All in all a great week.
-
"Can't praise enough."
Firstly - the cottage is beautiful and very efficiently managed. However, it is the eye for details and little things that often matter the most. Susan and Peter are wonderful hosts. We were with a 3.5 year old driving all the way from the south - so a bottle of milk in the fridge was a very warm welcome when we arrived late in the evening. The tasty biscuits and coffee are very much appreciated as well. The views from the house are fantastic. The garden is big enough for children to run around and have fun. It is also very well maintained. Having breakfast watching the birds can be a perfect holiday experience in the Lake District. The location of the village - Levens - is great. It is very close to Kendal and the whole of the Lake District is within driving distance. We went around a lot and my 3.5 year old had a great time exploring the lakes and woodlands. In relation to us fighting a pandemic, we felt completely safe in this house. Lastly, for folks traveling with kids, the children's park in the village is fantastic. For us it became the highlight of each day irrespective of what great woodland trail we walked in the rest of the day! Thank you very much!!
-
"A great place to stay to explore The Lakes."
Lovely big garden for our son to play in. We had a brilliant holiday, thanks!
-
"Perfect hosts and accommodation."
The village is quiet and lovely neighbours too, we can also recommend the Hare and Hounds pub for a fantastic meal. 10/10 all round.
-
"We had a wonderful stay, everything was perfect and the cottage was well looked after."
Location was brilliant for exploring the surrounding areas and the garden was beautiful
-
"The cottage was clean, well equipped, and very comfortable."
Much bigger inside than outside view. Everything you might require ( except for iron) an absolute gem. The garden was immaculate with beautiful views over the valley. The owners were very helpful with any queries we had. We would definitely recommend a stay.
-
"Lovely, comfortable cottage, and the owners had gone out of their way to ensure a high standard of cleanliness and safety during COVID-19."
Highly recommended.
-
"Such an amazing holiday at cinderbarrow for the third time!"
Susan is a wonderful host and helped us all feel relaxed, ensuring us that all cleanliness was a priority during covid-19 precautions. The cottage is clean, comfortable and has everything you need, the garden and parking space is more than adequate. Levens is a beautiful area, the neighbours all around the cottage are caring and kind. I hope this is not our last visit at cinderbarrow, it does feel like a home from home
-
"Fabulous place and well equipped."
Warm and cosy. Will definitely return
-
"This is the second time that we have stayed at Cinderbarrow Cottage , and hopefully it won’t be the last."
It’s one of those places where , after a day out “doing your thing “ , you can go in , shut the door and leave all your troubles behind you. Our visit this year was accompanied by atrocious weather conditions and so the heated boot / cloakroom was just fantastic. I could go on and on , but all I can say is thanks to both the owners of the cottage , and Sykes’s for making our week so comfortable.
-
"The cottage and area were exceptional and it was a delight to be there"
-
"A beautiful cottage, lovely and warm with everything you could need."
Fantastic garden with lots of wildlife. Great local area to explore with walks from the doorstep.
-
"Beautifully presented well equipped cottage with stunning views from the garden, made our holiday extra special."
We really appreciated the tea and biscuits on arrival. In a perfect location to explore the Lake District with many attractions within close proximity. Really good pub in the village, great for vegetarians and meat eaters alike. Highly recommend this property and hope to return some day.
-
"This is an exceptional cottage."
Loved the wildlife friendly garden (bug hotel, bird feeders and resident hedgehog), conservatory with masses of coat hooks and place for walking boots, well equipped kitchen (great fridge freezer with ice maker etc) and a sense of the locality (natural history and walking books and beautiful Heaton Cooper prints on the walls)
-
"Beautiful cottage, exceptionally clean and of a high standard."
Idyllic garden attracting wildlife and with amazing views. Superb location. The cottage was one of the best I have ever stayed in after 20 yrs of using holiday cottages.
-
"One of the best cottages we have ever stayed at through Sykes or anywhere."
Could quite happily move in! Spacious, homely, spotlessly clean, with everything provided - even a boot room which was very useful. The highlight was the amazing outdoor area where we spent many hours, either eating meals on the lovely terrace or enjoying the beautiful garden and views and watching the local wildlife. Levens was the perfect location to visit most of the Lake District and not too far to hop over to Yorkshire. Lovely village with great local pub. Don't miss out on Sizergh Farm Shop which we visited many times, and also Levens Hall.
-
"Cinderbarrow cottage was wonderful."
So clean, such lovely appliances and decor and obviously a cottage much loved and cared for by its owners. Nicest cottage I’ve stayed in through Sykes hands down.
-
"Such a great holiday, in a wonderful cottage."
Super location. Everything about it was perfect. With the added extra of the wildlife in the garden. We all loved watching the family of bunnies playing in the evening
-
"Perfect cottage, everything we could have wished for."
The first time ever we had loads of toilet paper as well as everything else. The garden was amazing and a big bonus as we were lucky with the weather we were able to eat on the patio each evening. Even the neighbours were friendly.we would give Cinderbarrow 100%. Well done and thank you all.
-
"An ideal cottage for us with a garden that we could have enjoyed more had the weather been better."
It was positioned in a good spot for us to visit the places we had planned to see. Not life threatening but a hairdryer would have been helpful.
-
"It is a lovely cottage."
The welcome package of tea coffee milk biscuits was lovely. We will definitely be visiting again.
-
"A great little cottage in an excellent location ."
It was a place where you looked forward to returning to in the late afternoon/early evening , after a hard day’s walking or shopping ,etc ,etc. By using the road through the Lyth valley such places as Bowness,Windermere and Ambleside were within easy reach. The garden wasn’t used because we visited in February but at least we walked to the bench to savour the views. This cottage has it all , even a room to put your boots on before the day’s walk starts. The large bathroom and excellent kitchen were a welcome feature. All in all a great property where we will certainly return to. Thanks to all concerned.
-
"This was our second stay at this cottage and once again we were amazed at the high standard."
The owners obviously take great pride in this property and as I said last time I could live here quite happily and wouldn't change a thing. Often a second visit somewhere doesn't live up to the memories of the first time but here it just felt so right once more. We'll be back for sure !
-
"Cottage was lovely and owners friendly and helpful."
-
"Loved this cosy well equipped cottage and the views from the top of the garden are amazing."
Many different varieties of birds visit the garden and you can feed the local hedgehog although elusive. Handy for visiting a family member in the village of Levens and local pub and village shop a short walk. Quiet location for visiting the area and lakes. The Lakeland Motor museum at Ulverston a good day out and can recommend the Ship Inn on Bowness in Windermere for a view of the lake and good value food and service. The Freedom pass will take you from Haverthwaite by train to the Lakeland stop for a cruise up Lake Windermere or you can hop off at other stops up the lake. Ulverston has a good supermarket - Booths and the Lakeland Glass Blowing factory, very interesting. Also a good quality mountain warehouse for any extra walking & clothing accessories. Coniston is beautiful with the usual tea shops too quieter than Windermere Ambleside and Keswick, so many othere places I didn't do on this visit. Will be back hopefully to this cottage again
-
"Cinderbarrow cottage was so comfortable and welcoming and a perfect base for exploring the lake district."
The owners were very welcoming and we felt very at home in their lovely clean cottage.
-
"Everything was perfect"
-
"We stayed in Cinderbarrow 27th April-3rd May."
We had a great week exploring the Lake District, weather was dry for the week. The cottage was great with gas central heating, wifi internet which was probably only rated at 2gb download speed. The cottage was a very high spec with light oak furnature throughout. The bed was wonderfully comfy. The area has marvelous views and is very quiet. There is a hedgehog house in the garden and they eat a full bowl of food a day. Must be greedy critters :)
-
"Cinderbarrow Cottage was a perfect home from home."
Just a delight to stay there and to have the owners so close at hand when we had a query. Would definitely stay again and would certainly recommend to friends and family this cottage and Sykes as an organisation.
-
"The Cottage is very well appointed, except for the lack of an iron and ironing board, odd, when there is a washer/dryer!"
For decent views you have to climb up the incline in the garden. The large garden overlooks other houses, slightly intimidating for the residents. The Cottage itself is excellent, comfortable beds, excellent heating system, large American style fridge/freezer and WI-FI. If you are on 02 Mobile, the signal is fine. The local shop in Levens is excellent, so to the local Public House, the 'Hare and Hounds' which serves good food. Kendal is difficult to negotiate in a car and full of Charity shops. Go through Natland to Oxenhome Station and you can avoid Kendal!
-
"A beautiful, well presented cottage in a lovely quiet village."
It felt like a home from home
-
"Lovely cottage with all the amenities we needed."
-
"Fabulous cottage great location lovely views very well equipped and immaculate"
-
"Such a warm and homely cottage with plenty of comforts."
Enough space for a family of four with a surprisingly large garden. Not too far from some wonderful walks and the view over whitbarrow on a clear day is beautiful. Plenty of off road parking and the neighbours are all friendly. We are definitely considering visiting this beautiful place again.
-
"Fantastic accommodation in a beautiful location."
High standards of cleanliness, decoration and facilities. Lot's of little extras kindly left by the owners that added to the feeling that their visitors matters.
-
"We had a wonderful time staying at Cinderbarrow and hope to return next year!"
It was really cosy and beautifully presented and had everything we needed for a fabulous few days we didn’t want to leave!! Thanks to the owners for leaving fresh flowers and biscuits and tea on arrival very nice touch!
-
"I would have ticked exceeded expectations but that attribution I believe should be merited to the owners rather than Sykes."
We have used Sykes many times now and have never been disappointed but this property exceeded all that we have had previously. My partner and myself both said we would happily move in permanently and not change anything, it was perfect !
-
"The cottage was excellent - clean, tastefully decorated and well-equipped."
The location was great as a base for touring.
-
"This is the best property we have stayed in through Sykes and would thoroughly recommend."
-
"Taking care of their pet hedgehog!"
Beautiful cottage in a great location with lovely views across the valley. Garden was gorgeous. We sat out at night just watching the sunset. Very peaceful and relaxing.
-
"Very well prepared cottage."
Within easy reach of both Lake district, and Yorkshire dales. Local inns with good food. Need to be prepared for some narrow roads.
-
"A wonderful cottage."
I travelled alone with a toddler and everything was perfect. Will definitley be back
-
"Beatiful cottage, great location for getting out and about to the main attractions, towns and villages."
The cottage has clearly been lovingly and tastefully decorated, premium quality decor really made a difference to the stay.
-
"A beautiful little cottage with lovely welcome touches from Susan and Peter."
I'm already looking to stay here again. A perfect place for a weekend away or a week to explore the lakes. A wonderful first experience with Sykes cottages.
-
"What a beautiful cottage!"
Modernised to a superb standard, it was welcoming and gave more than we expected; so many thoughtful touches! The cottage is in an ideal position to visit all parts of the Lake District, with local walks and a good village shop. The weather was excellent and we took advantage of the beautiful garden and BBQ facilities. We felt at home and everything came together to make the holiday perfect.
-
"An exceptionally well-decorated, furnished and well-equipped cottage with all the comforts of home, and great to see such attention to detail."
The cottage has only recently been refurbished and everything is to a very high standard. Kind welcome gifts of milk, tea (Yorkshire!) and biscuits were most thoughtful. The only addition that would have been appreciated was a washing line or similar to give us the pleasure of outside clothes-drying (and save on energy)! Brilliant location for walking in the Lake District, Yorkshire Dales, Howgill Fells and around Morecambe Bay, with fast access to Kendal for shopping.

Levens is a small traditional Cumbrian village set on a high promontory in beautiful countryside and ideally placed for exploring the Lake District and the Yorkshire Dales.
