Church View Cottage - Beautiful Renovated Cottage In Lake District
Cottage with 3 Bedrooms, Sleeps 5, Garden
Originally built as part of a Coaching Inn in around the 17th Century,this delightful cottage is situated in the peaceful hamlet of Ings in the heart of the Lake District National Park. It has recently been refurbished, with new kitchen, bathroom and en-suite facilities. The combination of charm and comfort with one of the best Lakeland pubs within 200 yards makes it difficult to beat. There is immediate access to beautiful walking country while at the same time being very close to all the major tourist attractions of the Southern Lakes.
Ideally located for walking, cycling, water sports or just ‘peace and quiet’! Late Autumn or early Winter is a great time to visit. You don't need to go to New England to enjoy the 'fall'. Also, don't miss the Christmas festivities in Kendal.

"Thank you so much for letting us stay in your lovely cottage. We had a fantastic time and the cottage was just perfect, so cosy to come home to after a day out walking. We even had one day of heavy snow which was fantastic and the lakes looked picture perfect. We had a few meals in the Watermill Inn and the Eagle and Child in Staveley and can highly recommend both. We would have no hesitation in recommending Church View Cottage to our friends and family.
