About the home
The cottage adjoins the owner's main home which is a converted Dutch Barn. This barn was originally part of a working farm and is sited furthest away from the original farmhouse and therefore, as well as enjoying lovely views over the neighbouring farmers' fields, we are not overlooked by other houses.
The cottage has been lovingly and stylishly converted to a very high standard and is an ideal retreat for couples.

The Cumbria/Lake District region

Walking is one of the best ways of exploring the Lake District and one will always be rewarded with stunning views with the changing seasons.
Within an approximately 20 mile radius lie the well known and much loved holiday destinations such as Windermere, Bowness, Ambleside and Coniston - busting Lakeland towns and villages with their own unique visitor's attractions.

Located in Cumbria, Chapels is a small quiet hamlet that lies between the nearby fells and the beautiful Duddon Estuary. It is located in the village of Kirkby in Furness where there is a local shop and 3 pubs within 1 mile radius. It is an ideal base from which to explore the local region.
Kirkby Ireleth was listed in the Domesday Book and was of Norse origin. On a clear day the panoramic views over the Duddon Sands to the Lakeland Fells and mountains is spectacular.

We were delighted to find the cottage finished to such a high standard. Plenty room inside and outside and all so pretty. First class on all fronts. The welcome pack was very generous and toiletries were an added bonus. We really couldn't fault anything during our stay. We wouldn't hesitate to book again or recommend to anyone travelling to this part of the country. |

We've been to Bankwood House twice this year already and we wouldn't hesitate to visit again. It's in a great location, quiet and peaceful, but close enough to beautiful places to... more |

This holiday home was the best one we ever had in GB and we are every second year here since 30 years. The rooms are nicely arranged and the furniture have high quality. The environment was quiet and the garden with the terraces wonderful. Good food is available around but you have to drive a little bit like everywere. The house is located well for nice trips in the southern lakes. The hosts were very friendly and the welcome package was amazing. We will be back if possible. |
