The Pavillion Tunstall

Tucked in the small hamlet of Tunstall less than 4 miles from Kirkby Lonsdale, this former tennis pavilion is a lavish couples’ hideaway. Set within a private garden with an outdoor hot tub just a short walk from the village gastro pub, this romantic retreat is perfect for two.

Surrounded by superb scenery with easy access to the Yorkshire Dales and Lake District national parks, this dog-friendly holiday home is ideal for outdoor enthusiasts who love a little luxury. Lovingly renovated, this single-storey property features stylish, high-end furnishings and exquisite attention to detail.

Designed for comfort and convenience, there’s underfloor heating throughout, a Sonos sound system and hyper-fast broadband. The open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner has a lofty, vaulted ceiling and a cosy seating area with a Smart TV and a warming wood burner.

When stomachs rumble, rustle up home-cooked treats in the fully equipped kitchen before savouring an intimate meal for two at the breakfast bar. Alternatively dine alfresco in the grassy, enclosed garden looking over the neighbouring field, before sinking into the hot tub beneath the pergola to unwind before bed.

When night falls, snuggle under the covers of the super-king-size bedroom, which has a second Smart TV for watching films in bed. A contemporary tiled shower room completes the interior and the property benefits from private parking for two cars.

With great walks from your front door, this is a superb base for walkers, cyclists and birdwatchers. Explore picturesque dales, fells, rivers and woodland in the nearby Yorkshire Dales or head for Windermere (24.5 miles) for a taste of the lakes.

The market town of Kirkby Lonsdale (4 miles) boasts a wealth of independent shops and restaurants in its atmospheric streets. It’s also home to two famous viewpoints: Ruskin’s View and the Devil’s Bridge.
