Lark Meadow

About this property

Perched on the outskirts of the charming market town of Kirkby Lonsdale, Cumbria, is this idyllic cottage, Lark Meadow, set on the grounds of Whoop Hall Country Club. Set over two floors and sleeping up to four guests, Lark Meadow is a delightful getaway for two couples or a small family, where they can enjoy views of the expansive green countryside right from their very own private patio, and be within easy reach of the Yorkshire Dales National Park, as well as Devils Bridge and Kendal Castle. As you approach the property, you will find an off-road parking space available just outside of the cottage, so you can unload your bags with ease. Be welcomed into the spacious open-plan living space with kitchen, dining area and sitting area, where you can cosy up on the large corner sofa and enjoy a film night with friends in front of the gas effect fire, or whip up delicious treats in the fully equipped kitchen, settling down to enjoy your meal around the dining table and toasting to a wonderful holiday. As the evening draws to a close, you have a choice of two bedrooms, the first being a ground-floor twin, where you can snuggle up in the tastefully decorated room with TV, perfect for those last Sunday mornings. Completing the ground floor is the shower room, where you can freshen up for the day in style. Climbing the stairs, you will discover the second bedroom, a king-size mezzanine with glass balcony overlooking the sitting room and views overlooking the lush green fields, for added privacy there is an en-suite bathroom where you can enjoy a hot soak with your favourite book before climbing into bed. Prepare a pot of tea and enjoy it with your guests at the lovely outdoor dining table as you discuss plans for the day. When you're not enjoying your home-from-home, you can enjoy your surroundings on the grounds of Whoop Hall and take advantage of the facilities at Kirkby Londsale Health Club, where day tickets can be purchased. Grab your walking boots and venture into the beautifully unspoilt town of Kirkby Lonsdale, where you will find a good selection of independent shops, excellent pubs, cafes and restaurants for when you want a night off from the kitchen. Whilst there, you must pay a visit to the magnificent three-arched bridge, the 14th century Devils Bridge, also worth visiting is the captivating Ruskin’s View which can be reached via the 86 Radical Steps, where you can experience the breath-taking views of Lune Valley and Underley Hall. Explore your local surroundings further with a trip to the well-known market town of Kendal, where you can visit the remarkable Abbot Hall to view fine art, delve into history with a stop at the 12th-century ruins of Kendal Castle or get to know your local area at the Kendal Museum. For those sport-lovers there are a host of activities available to get involved with from football, cycling and golf, to snow sports and rock-climbing at the Lakeland Climbing Centre. Be sure to stop at the magnificent Sizergh Castle and Levens Hall which has a vibrant Topiary Garden where you will find impressive views of the Lakeland Mountains, Howgills and Morecambe Bay nearby. From Kendal, visitors can easily access South Lakeland, the Yorkshire Dales, Lake Windemere and the Lake District National Park. Bring your family and friends to share a memorable stay in Lark Meadow, where you will feel refreshed after a getaway in the country.

Nestled in the heart of the Lune Valley, midway between the Yorkshire Dales and the Lake District is the splendid market town of Kirkby Lonsdale. Be sure to take a leisurely stroll through the town on a Thursday as this is when the local market takes place, where you can expect to see a variety of independent shops, restaurants and pubs, speckled among the many 17th and 18th century buildings which still stand.
