Moss Bank is a 3 bedroom dog friendly property in The Lake District and Cumbria, England
Moss Bank is a dog friendly holiday cottage.
Situated in the village of Eskdale Green, this charming cottage is perfect for families, walkers, and nature lovers wanting to explore the beautiful local area. There are two pubs and a shop nearby, and lots of pretty walks right from the door. The spacious cottage has a fascinating history. Built by Outward Bound founder Kurt Hahn in 1882 it still boasts many original features. There’s plenty of space to relax in the lounge with wraparound seating, a cosy wood burner and a 50” Smart TV. The snug, which has a second wood burner, is the perfect place to sit with a good book from the wall of book shelves after cooking a feast in the country kitchen and enjoying it in the separate dining room. Upstairs are two double bedrooms, a king bedroom, and the family bathroom. There’s storage space for your bikes and kayaks on the lower ground floor as well as a washing machine. Outside is a large enclosed with a summerhouse, patio, and lawn for all to enjoy. The walking routes nearby encompass every landscape, length, and level of difficulty; from woodland strolls to demanding technical climbs. Scafell Pike, England’s highest mountain, is about 9 miles from Eskdale Green. There’s a less challenging but equally lovely walk to Stanley Ghyll Force waterfall (5 miles away) and many more close to the house. Burnmoor Tarn on Eskdale Fell, a 5-mile walk or 9-mile drive, is a good spot for wild swimming in the warmer months; it’s generally quiet and has amazing views. Hop on the Ravenglass & Eskdale Railway miniature railway ‘La’al Ratty’ at the village station, which wends its way through spectacular scenery. Call in to one of the village pubs for a quick drink or a bite to eat on the way home.
Short breaks may still be available.
