Overview
Property code: SZ409

Elect not to choose between sea and sand with a stay in the village of Ravenglass, the Lake District’s only seaside village with the national park’s world-famous fells and lakes within close reach.

Step out and explore the local area on foot, wandering along the coastline to take in the far-reaching estuary views and exploring sandy shores at low tide. The village of Ravenglass is surrounded by historical intrigue – discover Muncaster Castle just a short walk away (1.5 miles) or the fascinating Roman Bath House just up the road (0.5 miles). It’s impossible to appreciate the local area without a day trip on its hidden gem, the Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway. Known locally as La’al Ratty, this 7-mile railway line begins right here in the fishing village and takes its passengers up into the Eskdale Valley, passing mountains and stunning landscapes as it goes.

On arrival discover a cheerful terrace property on a quiet coastal street. Head inside to find two bedrooms on the first floor, both of which boast traditional slate flooring. The first of these is a spacious double with space for two, whilst the second room offers zip-and-link twin beds that can be made up as a king-size on request. Here you’ll also find French doors out to the rear patio and sea views that are a joy to wake up to. Completing this floor is a modern bathroom with WC and wet room-style shower. Venture upstairs to find a sociable open-plan living space tucked under the eaves of the property. Benefiting from a high vaulted ceiling and original wooden beams, this cheerful space offers an inviting place to unwind as day turns to night. The kitchen has been fitted with locally sourced slate work surfaces, a hob, oven, fridge, small frezzer and microwave, as well as a dining set comfortably seating four. To the opposite of the kitchen is a spacious lounge space with a L-shaped sofa and TV/DVD.

Assessable via the lounge is an elevated balcony with a bistro dining set and views out to sea, along with steps to the rear enclosed patio which is connected to the twin bedroom. This space is a sheltered spot with the option of outdoor seating.

  • 2 bedrooms – 1 double, 1 twin zip-and-link (can be made into a king-size on request)
  • 1 bathroom – WC and wet room-style shower

Delightful cottage and situation. Suggest if double used as twin beds they would be rather narrow. 2 cars can be difficult- parking rather expensive. No food shops in Ravenglass

This is a fabulous property in a brilliant location. A great base for exploring Eskdale and of course is the home of the brilliant Ratty railway. The view from upstairs over the estuary is a delight and is ever changing.

Delighful view, very comfy bed and sofa made this cottage above and beyond. Didn't turn the TV on once as was just mesmerised by the tide, birds and sunsets. It's a very peaceful cottage with everything you are likely to need. It amused us to go 'down the wooded hill' to bed. Will be booking again.

This property is one of the best we have visited over the years. Everything in the cottage is of the highest standard. It has been decorated beautifully throughout and is warm and welcoming. The ever changing view of the estuary to the rear of the property is to die for. We will certainly be returning in future.

Info says to leave cottage clean and tidy but we had to clean crumbs up from floor and table in kitchen diner when we arrived. Even if previous occupants hadnt done as they were told would have hoped person preparing cottage would clean up before we arrived as not our fault. Not fair we had to do it before we could start our holiday. Nasty smell inRead more wet room but seems its an ongoing issue by comments in book. Other than that its a great base in a fabulous location in a lovely quiet village. Hide
