Introduction
The Glen is situated in its own grounds on the outskirts of Oxenholme.
We have 6 bedrooms Including one on the ground floor. Part of the house is over a hundred years old and, although re-furbished, some features may make it difficult for guests with limited mobility.
We are 300 meters from Oxenholme (The Lake District) railway station and 3 miles from the centre of Kendal.
