2 Bedroom Cottage in Eskdale

Set in the beautiful Eskdale Valley, this traditional stone cottage is a peaceful base for couples or a family looking for outdoor adventures in West Cumbria and the Lake District. Fabulous walking routes are available straight from your door including the Miterdale forest trail and Wasdale. The La'al Ratty, Ravenglass & Eskdale Railway passes nearby too, running from Ravenglass (7 miles) to Dalegarth (2 miles). The Eskdale Trail follows the same route, so you could take your bike on board and cycle back to the cottage. Keen walkers can enjoy a hike to Stanley Ghyll Waterfall (4.5 miles), while seasoned climbers will relish the challenge of Scafell Pike, 9 miles away. If you’re looking for a beach day or strolls in the fresh sea air, head to the pretty coastal village of Seascale, 8 miles from the cottage.


The property is a joy to return to after days out, with bright interiors and plenty of space for everyone to relax. Step into the pristine open-plan kitchen/diner, which has a double-height sloping ceiling over the dining area with Smart TV and patio doors opening onto the garden. The space lends itself perfectly to sociable mealtimes and seamless indoor living in warm weather, and keen cooks will appreciate the array of equipment to prepare delicious holiday feasts. The lounge has comfortable seating, an open fire, a Smart TV and another set of patio doors, making it a lovely spot to unwind. Finishing the ground floor, there’s a utility room and a shower room with a WC. Stairs lead up to the first floor, where you’ll find two bedrooms for getting a comfortable night’s sleep – a king-size and a twin. A sleek bathroom with a bath and walk-in rainfall shower completes the layout.


Outside, the small enclosed south-facing garden with patio is a delightful setting to sit out and soak up some morning sunshine, keeping the drinks flowing long into the evening. Parking on the driveway is available for two cars.
