Property Details
The Space
Toilet & Shower
Toilet & Shower
Fully equipped for 2 guests, snuggle into the Tipi and soak up the view, make suppers in the pizza oven or huddle around the firepit and cook over the embers!
The kitchen area houses the sink, fridge, kettle and toaster. There is a small ‘plug in’ hob but most guests tend to BBQ or eat out - especially as there is a wonderful pub just down the lane.

The caravan is equipped with a fully plumbed-in loo and shower together with underfloor heating, towels and toiletries are also provided.
The shower room is compact with a tiled seat and would be a squeeze for the

Pond & Firepit
To the rear of the caravan is our walled vegetable garden and guests are welcome to forage for whatever is in season.
A new addition is the ‘grand’ wooden Tipi - a wonderful world of make-believe or a haven of peace to enjoy that favourite book.
Dare to be different....stay away from the world and experience true peace and quiet!

The Idyllic location is easily accessible from Oxenholme Railway Station and Junction 36 on the M6.
Private parking is available and guests are advised to store empty suitcases etc in their car or in the Tipi. There is also a ‘boot box’ under the caravan for muddy wellies etc.
Don’t let chilly days put you off - our heating system and hot water bottles will keep you cosy whatever the weather

The caravan is a true little gem and is at the bottom of a very large garden so your privacy is assured. We welcome many returning visitors, however, it is important that guests recognise that storage space is at a premium with just a small wardrobe so please do travel light!
By the same token, we would stress that it
is suited to those of average height and build, the caravan is compact with limited headroom - the high and mighty will
need to duck
Where You'll Sleep
Comfy Bench Seats
The two cushioned bench seats provide comfort
whether you're dining or just relaxing in the evening
after a busy day exploring The Lakes
Relax & Unwind
Cheerful ‘Emma Bridgwater ‘ fabrics have been used in
soft furnishings, creating a ‘get away from the world’
haven of peace and tranquillity
King Size Bed
The two bench seats open up to create a large
king-size bed and all bedding and towels can be
found stored neatly below
Where You’ll Be
Barrows Green, England, United Kingdom
The idyllic caravan is located just outside of the delightful market town of Kendal. The National Trust’s Sizergh Castle is within walking distance. Exploring is easy- on foot, by bicycle, bus, train or car.
Windermere can be reached within 20 minutes to the West whilst Kirkby Lonsdale is just 20 minutes to the East.
Oxenholme railway station is a 4-minute taxi ride and is so very accessible from the major cities of Edinburgh (2hrs), Manchester
(1+ hrs) and London (2.5 hrs). Trains to Windermere run regularly from Oxenholme whilst daily and weekly passes are available on the bus network throughout the Lakes (Bus stop at the bottom of the lane) Mountain Goat also run fabulous minibus tours from Windermere
(see all the different lakes in one day!)
The Pub on the lane serves delicious food and drinks!!
Asda is 5 minutes by car and the local petrol station sells bread, milk and essentials. The Post Office in Natland is a 15-minute walk and has a lovely coffee shop!
