Overview
Property code: SZ569

Perched on the western edge of the Lake District, this well-appointed bungalow is an ideal base for exploring the Cumbrian Coastline and the fells, lakes, villages and forests of the national park

Perfect for beach lovers, explore Drigg’s wonderful dune system, which forms part of the Eskmeals Nature Reserve before enjoying a windswept walk along the sandy beach. From here, follow the coast south to reach the sand and shingle beach at Ravenglass, 3 miles away, from which the famous Ravenglass and Eskdale Steam Railway winds its way into the national park, terminating at Boot. Discover local history with a visit to Muncaster Castle, 4 miles away, or Swinside Stone Circle, 14.5 miles away. Take on the mighty Scafell Pike, England’s highest mountain, just 11 miles away or stay on low ground with a walk around Wast Water, 8 miles away, the national park’s deepest lake at 260 feet.

Inside, this charming bungalow has been tastefully modernised to include fresh neutral decor, contemporary fittings and elegant soft furnishings. A concrete ramp leads to the front door, making it accessible for anyone with limited mobility. The clean and bright kitchen is fitted with an oven, hob, fridge, freezer, microwave and washing machine. Enjoy meals in the small dining area in the lounge before switching on the electric wood burner and settling in for a cosy evening of games or TV. With French doors opening onto the patio, this room is also a peaceful spot for relaxing during the day. This quaint cottage offers two elegantly finished bedrooms, one double and one single. The bedrooms share a mosaic-tiled bathroom with a shower over the bath.

Outside, the enclosed south-facing garden is stocked with pretty shrubs and flowers and backs onto fields, making it a tranquil spot for al fresco dining. There is one parking space to the front of the cottage and a second small space on the driveway.

We had a very pleasant stay at Wood Cottage. The beds were comfortable and the sheets were smooth and cosy. Everywhere was clean and welcoming. Quite the home from home. We took a lovely coastal walk through Drigg & along the sand dunes. We had a much needed cup of coffee and delicious homemade ice cream in Seascale.

Lovely, spacious cottage, that is much bigger than the photos imply. Clean & tidy and well equipped with a fantastic private garden to sit out in and enjoy. If it's important to you whilst on holiday (wasn't to us) there is no Wi-Fi/internet and phone signal isn't great (O2). Not a great choice of Tv channels either. Good location for getting the tRead morerain to Carlisle or Barrow, or walking/driving down to the large, quiet unspoilt beaches and dunes. As well as having the Lake District close by. Hide

A quiet, clean and comfortable cottage. Kathleen was very generous with her time and went out of her way to help us make the most of our stay, particularly providing up-to-date information on public transport.

A lovely property, beautifully decorated, very well equipped and with lots of thoughtful touches. The village setting is very pleasant, with a huge sandy beach about 15 minutes' walk. 10 minute drive to picturesque Ravenglass, or Seascale for shopping and ice cream on the seafront. 20 minutes max to the Western lakes. Trains run through the villageRead more, nice local pub serving good food and owner's craft and coffee shop for gift shopping. Hide
