Middle Bank Cottage and its partner, Top 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.

Middle Bank Cottage

Middlebank Cottage is the larger of two conversions, restored by owners Robin & Marnie. Dating back some three hundred years they were originally a farm cottage and barn. Middlebank has retained much atmosphere, with an abundance of oak beams and pillars, stonework and flagged floors.

From the courtyard you enter into an open plan sitting dining room with kitchen area, furnished in traditional cottage style. Original steps have been retained that take you out of the sitting room into the private garden through a tiny door.

Stairs lead up to a landing, off which are the two bedrooms, one double and one twin. The twin room has an interesting veranda with steps leading back down to the forecourt. The bathroom has bath, overhead shower, hand basin and WC.

The garden is a delight, beautifully cared for with panoramic views from the lawn across the Lyth Valley.
