Plumtree House is Victorian family home with all guest rooms on the first floor we do not have a lift, all rooms have views of the surrounding area and are ensuite, there is a lounge for guests to use with a lovely open fire for those chilly damp days. All the rooms are on the first floor, we do not have a lift, there are 12stairs a half landing then a further 4, there are also steps to access the property. There is off road parking to the side of the property Plumtree house is dog friendly though we charge for dogs to sleep in the room. As Plumtree House is 150yrs old and next to fields we do attract extra guests(spiders) & despite valiant attempts to remove them they may be around just a warning to those of you with a fear of them.

We are Mike and Maureen and have lived in the area for 37yrs and in Plumtree for 26yrs. We like to walk in the local area and have 3 ponies a cat and a Border Collie called Floss so enjoy spending time with them.

Brigsteer is a very quiet.peaceful village 3miles from Kendal, we have no public transport so best to come by car, we do provide secure space for bikes though. The nearest shop is 2miles away but we have an excellent dog friendly pub within walking distance:The Wheatsheaf at Brigsteer. always advisable to book in advance as it gets very busy, if you mention you are staying with us the staff will usually get you a table. There are lots of lovely easy walks in the area Scout Scar and Sizergh Castle are very near and included in one of the easy walks, the nearby Brigsteer Woods has a lovely show of wild daffodils, bluebells and wild garlic each year and is a beautiful place to walk to from the house with a walk to nearby Sizergh Castle for a spot of lunch.. The roads are country roads so can be narrow in places and Sat Nav tends to bring you up the narrowest( shortest) route.
