The property has 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and large fully equipped kitchen/diner all heated by a biomass boiler which provides the underfloor heating and hot water. The Cottages are a short drive from the centre of Kendal and its amenities, which is one of the Lake Districts most popular market towns. In addition to a wide variety of shops and supermarkets there are many cosy tearooms, cafes restaurants and pubs. Take a walk by the river or to the castle, visit the museums, art gallery and the Brewery Arts centre. Explore Windermere only 20 mins away.

The property is well equipped. It is also clean, nicely decorated, well maintained and furnished with quality furniture.
The farm location is also ideal.
This cottage is a little gem. Spotlessly clean and very well equipped . The views from the main bedroom are breathtaking. Lesley and Robert live on site. Very welcoming and they are committed to making sure that you have a great stay.Fantasy base for visiting the lakes.
Everything about Drover's Cottage exudes class & quality. The beds, mattresses, duvets, pillows and linen were some of the most comfortable I have experienced on holiday. The bathrooms are well appointed with great showers and large cosy towels. It is extremely comfortable, and even though it is situated on a working farm (which for me added to it's charm) inside & out is incredibly neat & tidy, and so well thought-out. Definitely recommend.
Stayed for 5 nights, lovely host and welcoming hamper, very clean and comfortable cottage with everything you need to make the stay enjoyable with lovely views, peace and quiet
We had a truly wonderful time in drovers cottage. The property us spotlessly clean and very well equipped with every need anticipated. The scenery is simply stunning and we can't wait to coke back.
This unit is fully fitted and decorated, just like someone's home! Lesley and Robert are lovely helpful hosts.
We stayed 6 weeks in April/May 2023 and used this location for day trips into the Yorkshire Dales and Lake District.
A real gem...highly recommended!!
Converted farm building to very high standard.
Lesley and Robert were lovely hosts, always available when needed but never intrusive.
This is a working sheep farm but Robert showed us where we could walk our dog safely.
3 of us and the dog had a very happy week here while walking the Dales Way. Thank you.
Wir hatten eine sehr schöne Woche in dem Ferienhaus. Die schöne Lage und die Ruhe haben wir sehr genossen.Die Gastgeber sind sehr freundlich. In dem Ferienhaus fehlte nichts. Es war sehr geschmackvoll und gemütlich eingerichtet. In der Nähe befinden sich viele Geschäfte zum Einkaufen. Es war eine tolle Woche. Vielen Dank.
Superior decor, fixtures and fittings. Cottage had everything we needed and being allowed to walk our dogs(on a lead of course) anywhere across the owner's fields was an added bonus.
What a great property this is. Super clean, super warm and cosy and full of everything you need for a quiet break but nice and close to town. Great locstion and lovely hosts. Thank you. We will be back at some point.
Lovely property in a great setting, only minutes from Kendal. Property has literally everything that you could need, we were not wanting for anything. It was very clean when we arrived and Lesley met us as soon as we got there. We had a brilliant holiday in the Lakes, but the property is ideally situated to visit the Dales as well. Plenty of room for the two of us and three teenage kids. Would definitely book again if we return to Cumbria. Thank you Lesley and Robert for a perfect stay.
We had a great time, the house was brilliant... furnished and decorated to high standards. Super comfortable, very well equipped. Lovely touches left by Leslie and Robert. Thank you very much both for Bella’s ball, and our goodies. Hope to see you next year.
If this is your first time in the area...Sainsburys and Morrison only 10 minutes drive, lots of choices of restaurants in Kendal. We tried the Thai and Spanish restaurants, Fish and chips take away. Took a trip to Bowness and hired a boat on the lake, If you travel with children try Brookhall, we did kayaking, paddle boarding and other activities.
A beautiful and peaceful location not far from the lakes.
Have fun!
We had a lovely long weekend in a beautiful cottage. We had everything we needed and so did the dog. We would highly recommend Patton Hall Farm and hope to visit again sooon.
Really enjoyed our stay the cottage is lovely, it is well equipped with everything you need.
Especially loved the welcome package from Lesley the owner.
Great location off the beaten track so peaceful. Kendal a few minutes drive and Windermere about 20 mins.
Would highly recommend and will definitely return.
Thank you Lesley & Robert
My friends and I had an amazing stay at the cottage. It was very clean, modern, and cozy. It is situated in a nice location and the hosts were friendly as well. Perfect.
Lovely property on working farm very close to Kendal
Cottage conversion with ample room for four adults. Next door property also a rental. Well furnished and equipped and good standard of cleanliness. Owners very friendly. Property is approx 15 minutes from town centre with two large supermarkets on this side of town. Last mile of the journey is on single track lane with passing places and then down a steep farm drive. Small terrace garden in middle of working farm. Parking not a problem in designated spaces. Views to the west are stunning.
