Old Earth | Ridgestone

Old Earth is a characterful stone property filled with warmth, light, and a strong sense of place. Once a small country hotel offering rest to travellers heading into the Lakes, the house has been thoughtfully restored to retain its historic charm while introducing contemporary comforts throughout. The ground floor offers relaxed and sociable living spaces, with an inviting sitting area centred around an indoor fireplace, ideal for cosy evenings after a day exploring the fells. Large sash windows and thick stone walls create a calm and comfortable atmosphere in every season. The kitchen is fully equipped for self-catering stays, with an oven, hob, fridge freezer, microwave, dishwasher, kettle, toaster, and a coffee machine, along with ample cookware, glassware, and dining essentials. Upstairs, the property offers three generously sized bedrooms. The principal bedroom features a super king bed and a private en suite shower room. The second and third bedrooms both offer king size beds and share a stylish family bathroom. Both bathrooms are fitted with modern walk-in showers, sinks, mirrors, and toilets, finished to a high standard. Outside, the garden provides a peaceful place to unwind, with space for outdoor dining and relaxation. The private hot tub is perfectly positioned for soaking under the open sky, whether after a long walk or simply to enjoy a slower pace of life. Old Earth is well suited to families or small groups looking for space, comfort, and a quiet countryside setting, while remaining close to the amenities of Kendal and the South Lakes.

Old Earth is located just outside Kendal, offering the perfect balance between countryside calm and easy access to local amenities. Kendal is known as the gateway to the Lake District and offers a wide range of independent shops, cafés, pubs, and restaurants, as well as supermarkets and essential services. The surrounding South Lakes provide endless opportunities for walking, cycling, and exploring, with Windermere, Grasmere, and Coniston all within easy reach. From gentle riverside walks to more challenging fell routes, the area caters to all levels of outdoor enthusiasts while remaining rich in history, culture, and local produce.
