High Swinklebank FarmSelf-cateringHigh Swinklebank Farm is a family run working hill sheep farm near the near of the beautifully unspoilt Longsleddale Valley. The valley is about 20 minutes from the town of Kendal where there are the usual amenities and a market each week with a farmers market once a month. We are about 40 minutes from Windermere and easily accessible to the central Lakes.
The cottage is ideally situated for those who like a gentle stroll or just want to relax and enjoy the views. For the more adventurous walkers there are fantastic walks with views from the fell tops all within walking distance from the cottage. The cottage is self contained with ample parking with a garden which guests are welcome to use. The cottage comprises living room, well fitted kitchen, 2 bedrooms (1 Double and 1 with Bunkbeds). The heating is electric and all linen is proved with a cot if required. Electricity is by a coin meter.
High Swinklebank is a hill sheepfarm with local Kendal rough fell sheep. It is in one of the beautiful unspoilt valleys of the Lake District. Ideal for walking, relaxing and getting away from it all.
Ideal walking and rambling area. Kendal leisure centre 20 minutes drive away. Children welcome from any age.
“Exceptional.location and owners absolutely lovely.”
What an amazing holiday we had. Olive looked after us so well (including drying my son's clothes after he fell in a stream) but even though was just next door was never intrusive. The location is stunning with views on all sides. The cottage felt like home and had everything we needed. we were given a warm welcome including our dog.
The location is perfect for walking and as there is no internet it was great for getting the kids away from the gadgets. There is no mobile coverage but again that made for the perfect getaway.
We certainly intend to return for another holiday. I can't recommend it highly enough.
