Luxury self-catering accommodation in Staveley
A picturesque South Lakeland village nestled at the foot of the scenic Kentmere Valley, Staveley is sandwiched between the rivers of Kent and Gowan in the Lake District and offers outdoor pursuits aplenty.
The village of Staveley is a popular spot for visitors looking to explore life in the Lake District. Sitting at the junction of two rivers which once powered eight mills, Staveley’s charming stone dwellings, enchanting forests and babbling rivers promise a magical break in the Lakes. Staveley Mill Yard, a former bobbin mill, is now home to 20 small enterprises and workshops including a cookery school, brewery, ice cream parlour, café and bakery offering an abundance of fun for family holidays.
Staveley sits just a few miles from the iconic Lake District village of Windermere, home to the largest natural lake in England. Lake Windermere should be at the top of the ‘to do’ list when planning a holiday to Cumbria, stretching over 10 miles long and 200 feet deep, making an excellent base for water sports. Vintage steamer boats operate from Bowness Bay to Ambleside, offering the chance for some relaxing lake cruising. Explore the area by hiring a rowing boat, kayak or paddleboard and enjoying Lake Windermere’s waters at your own pace.
