About this property
The Badger's Shack is a marvellous, detached lodge near Garnett Bridge, enjoying spectacular scenery, including those of the Cumbrian fells. The fantastic property is ideal for two couples or a family of four, with ground-floor accommodation and open-plan living and is only a short distance from the Lake District's best attractions. After parking in one of the two convenient off-road spots, head inside to find a stylishly decorated open-plan living room, where you can snuggle up in front of the Smart TV and warming woodburning stove. When you're hungry, proceed to the kitchen, a well-equipped place with everything you need to prepare excellent, homecooked meals. These meals can be served at the adjacent dining table as you catch up on the day's events. When the sun goes down, make your way to one of the two magnificent king-size bedrooms, the first of which is accompanied by an en-suite shower room and the other enjoying an en-suite bathroom with a luxurious roll-top bath and exposed stonework. Wander out to the patio which overlooks the eastern Kentmere fells and Ulgraves, the local mountain, where a barbecue awaits, to take in the breath-taking views first-hand. The Badger's Shack promises a relaxing getaway for you and those who mean the most. Note: This property can be booked with Refs. 1066265 and 1066269, together they sleep 20 guests.

Danny
A fabulous property thatâs tastefully decorated and furnished to the highest of standards providing everything you could possibly need for a lovely stay. Spotlessly clean and very warm and cosy. Situated in a lovely quiet location with plenty of walks from the front door, we didnât need to use the car during our stay. Chris was very welcoming and provided us with lots of useful information about the area. Julie also provided a lovely welcome basket containing local goodies. A lovely couple.

The cottage was beautifully decorated and everything needed for a comfortable stay was provided for. The location is sufficiently remote with amazing views of the hills but still a short drive from Kendal. We would love to stay there again the next time we visit the Lake District.
