Banklands

Explore the heart of Cumbria with a stay in the Eskdale valley, a Lakeland hidden gem with a traditional steam railway and an abundance of unforgettable scenery to take in. Take a ride on the steam train, known locally as the La'al Ratty, and take in stunning views from the coastal town of Ravenglass (5 miles) and the nearby village of Boot (2.5 miles). Venture further inland to tackle some of the Lake District’s most impressive fells, namely Scafell Pike which lies just 9 miles away. Further beauty spots in this national park can also be found just a short drive away, with Windermere (20.5 miles), Keswick (20 miles) and Ambleside (16.5 miles) all worth a day trip in the car.

With washing machine, tumble dryer and a sink, this valuable space will come in handy when returning from your adventures.

You’ll also find the dining table in here with a cosy wood burner close by, along with underfloor heating throughout the entire ground floor. Also on the ground floor is a sitting room with an additional wood burner, a cosy spot for evenings in. Here you’ll find a TV/DVD and PlayStation which will no doubt keep guests of all ages entertained. Completing this floor is a ground floor shower room with WC. Head onto the first floor via the ornate staircase to discover three inviting bedrooms, all of which are flooded with light thanks to traditional windows. The first bedroom is a king-size with a beautifully tiled feature fireplace and fells views from three windows, whilst the second bedroom is a super-king-size which can be made up as a twin on request. Finally, a third bedroom is a cosy double with built-in wardrobes. A charming family bathroom completes the property.
