    “A 5 star rating.”

    Very personable hosts who have spared no expense in presenting a fantastic cottage property for enjoyment - a Home From Home experience. Every last detail has been thought through. From a wonderfully equipped kitchen to a fabulous interior design with bags of character. Brilliant Fibre WiFi, very comfortable beds and Premium Netflix availability. Our 96 yr old Aunt also loved her time at Owl Shack. Congratulations to Julie and Chris.

Three off-road parking spaces welcome you on arrival, along with those gorgeous views of the surrounding countryside; you can even spot sheep in the fields!

The estate rests on the outskirts of Garnett Bridge, Cumbria and is a fabulous selection of holiday lettings, including a large, stone-built cottage and three luxury, detached lodges that have been named after the animals that once made them their home.

The lodges additionally feature as much locally-sourced materials as possible, with wood being used from the nearby Garnett Wood.

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.
