Garden cottage is set in a beautiful old complex and is very quiet and secluded. It is the perfect location for exploring the Lakes, but there are also good walks from the door into the surrounding hills and along the river, where we saw otters and a kingfisher. The cottage is well appointed, warm and we wanted for nothing. The garden is small but abundant with flowers and secure. It is a wonderful place to recharge and relax.
Great Cosy Stay Over Christmas

The cottage was the perfect place for my family and I to spend Christmas. The whole place was well stocked and the host added lots of little touches that added to the Christmas spirit in the house, including a live Christmas tree! The kitchen was also amazingly well equipped, allowing us to cook a full Christmas dinner without much additional equipment. Lastly the location itself was set beautifully on a hill and made it easy to access all the nearby villages in the lake districts.

Beautiful and Relaxing
We had a lovely 4 night stay at this beautiful and scenic cottage with 2 adults and 2 children and our dog. Hosts were fantastic, with bacon, eggs, milk and artisan bread provided on our arrival. Cottage was very comfortable (beds especially) and location was great for exploring all spots around Lake Windermere and very close to Kendal.

the position of the cottage was lovely the garden very pretty
the negative for us were the steps ..i know they were mentioned in the details of the cottage but we did find them tricky especially when unloading /loading the car plus after the steps it’s still a little trek to the cottage entrance ..we had good weather if it had been raining it would have been horrid

Secluded but well connected
A beautiful, well-equipped cottage with very thoughtful touches throughout including a hamper on arrival. Location excellent and well connected for exploring. All combined for a lovely, relaxing week.

Our stay at Garden Cottage was perfect. Following a difficult return to the UK from the US recently, we needed to find a place to stay before we could move into a flat in Edinburgh and the peace and tranquility we experienced at this property was exactly what we needed. Jill and Chris (and Bertie) were perfect hosts and made us feel incredibly welcome from the moment we arrived. The garden around the property is gorgeous and wash with life of so many forms, it was impossible not to feel utterly relaxed and at peace with the world. Garden Cottage is a true oasis and we will be back again, hopefully later this year!
One of the best.
Lovely cottage in a peaceful setting, in a picturesque little conclave of old farm buildings. Perfectly quiet and relaxing. The owners left an amazing welcome pack, and all fuel for the stove for the duration of our stay - and gave us a warm personal welcome. The beds were extremely comfortable.

Lovely cottage in a peaceful setting, in a picturesque little conclave of old farm buildings. Perfectly quiet and relaxing.

Luggage trips up and down the steps weren't really a problem - good way to keep fit. But would definitely bring less next time!
In all, we had such a lovely stay. We've been coming to the Lake District for 13 years, staying in a different place each time; this was by far our happiest stay.

Amazing Place
The cottage is in a great location, very peaceful and rural, but only 15 mins from Kendal and Windermere. It's a perfect base for walking the Eastern fells. It was really comfy and well equipped, with some great little touches, like fresh bread, bacon and milk waiting for us. Plus deer and badgers in the grounds, which was a bonus!...

Well equipped and comfortable, with lovely views across the valley. Good fun playing spot the frog in the pond or stoat in the dry stone wall.
Would definitely book again.

Garden Cottage is an unbelievably beautiful cottage, situated in a very picturesque, quiet and tranquil place in Burneside. The property is very spacious and is equipped with everything that you need, including a laundry room. Washing tablets are provided too which is helpful. The master bedroom has a lovely big and comfortable bed with luxurious linen. This bedroom also has a great ensuite with a modern and quirky shower. The dining area is superb and the kitchen is modern with excellent appliances including an air fryer which was easy to use. The lounge is bright, warm and inviting and leads up to a second bedroom.
The internet is provided and a handy information
folder put together so diligently by the owners is a ‘must read’ - the area is so vast and so this information is really helpful.
The cottage is tastefully decorated and you really do feel at home here. The location is fabulous and very close to Windermere, Ambleside and Grasmere - a few ‘must see’ locations. The property is situated close to all local amenities and the pretty town of Kendal will provide you with a range of shops and supermarkets. The owners of this stunning and breathtaking estate are very friendly and made us feel extremely welcome from the moment we arrived. They provided a really thoughtful welcome pack that included food and drink to get us started for the week. The owners are extremely passionate about the Lake District and are keen for their guests to thoroughly enjoy their visit and get the most out of their stay. They will happily provide you with helpful tips regarding the best places to visit - you need only ask!
Lastly, we booked our stay through a company called Tarn and Fell Escapes and Ross (the Company Director) was absolutely amazing. He was so helpful and very quick and efficient to respond to any query that we had. Ross kindly went out of his way to provide us with excellent recommendations of some of the best pubs, cafes, restaurants and places to visit in the local area. We cannot recommend this company enough and we feel so lucky and privileged to have come across Tarn and Fell Escapes. There is absolutely no question that as and when we return to the Lake District, Tarn and Fell Escapes will be the only company we will book with. If you have come across this beautiful hidden gem, do
not hesitate to book it! We promise that you will not be disappointed.

South Lakes & Kendal
Garden Cottage is located at High Hundhowe, Burneside, sitting on the periphery of the Lake District National Park and only a short distance from the popular towns of Staveley, Kendal and Windermere, all offering an abundance of amenities such as shops, cafes, pubs and restaurants.
The delightful country gardens set the scene for a calming break, with far-reaching views of the Kent valley and even Coniston Old Man in the distance. From Garden Cottage itself, set out on the many local footpaths and enjoy the spring flowers, or climb up through a typical Lakeland farm to Potter Fell and the bathing tarn Gurnal Dubs, or down to the road via Side House with its lovely waterfall.
