Top Bank Cottage and its adjoining partner, Middle Bank Cottage, are both set in the grounds of Crosthwaite House. The little village of Crosthwaite lies east from Lake Windermere in the Lyth Valley. A sun drenched plain, flanked by low rolling fell and woodland, it is a green and yellow ochre patchwork of meadows and orchards, criss crossed with narrow winding lanes that pass through farm land, by woodland and over rivers and becks, perfect for walks and cycling.

A stones throw from the cottage is the much vaunted Punch Bowl Inn, renowned for its cuisine and a most pleasing place to dine

A shortish car ride brings you to the foot of Windermere, where you can spend a day at Fell Foot park mucking about in and on the water. Head south onto the peninsular and you can explore the coast line and pick up Cumbria's section of the coastal way.

Not to be left out is Kendal. Well worth a visit for its shops, also the many restaurants and the thriving art scene, with the Brewery Arts Centre offering live gigs, theatre and cinema, also the Abbott Hall Art Gallery which hosts many fine and changing art exhibitions.

Top Bank Cottage

Similar in style to Middlebank, the ground floor is open plan with sitting/dining room and compact kitchen area. Top Bank has a fine stone fireplace with log- burning stove, adding an extra warmth in winter.

A staircase leads up to the bathroom and bedroom. The bathroom has bath, overhead shower, hand basin and WC.

The bedroom is double, with an extra single bed suitable for a family with one child.

To the side of the cottages is a pretty terraced garden. The views are delightful, looking out across to the church and the distant fells of Whitbarrow Scar and Cartmel Fell.

The location and cottage both combine to offer a relaxed holiday within easy reach of the whole of Southern Lakeland.
