Part of a complex of properties near Nether Wasdale (1.5 miles), this property offers country walks right from the doorstep. Ascend England’s highest mountain, Scafell Pike (5 miles), or its neighbouring peaks Green Gable and Pillar. Fish in England’s deepest lake, Wast Water (2.5 miles), mountain bike over lofty fells and sweeping valleys, and refresh in the nearby inn (4 miles) – home to The World’s Biggest Liar competition. Take a house tour or meet birds of prey at Muncaster Castle and Gardens (10 miles), or board a heritage train on the Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway (10 miles) – La’al Ratty in Old Cumbrian – which runs between Ravenglass and Dalgarth, where you’ll find Eskdale Mill and the quaint village of Boot.
Head up the garden path and step inside this welcoming country-style cottage where you can hang coats and store boots in the hallway porch. Walk through to the bright and spacious open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area. Sink into cosy seating and unwind after a busy day of adventures with TV, a favourite book, or simply relax and gaze out at the views of the Wasdale Screes. Mealtimes are easy with the well-equipped kitchen featuring an electric oven and hob, fridge, freezer, microwave, and toaster; plus a washer/dryer. When night falls, amble upstairs towards the two cosy bedrooms: a double bedroom with fell views, and a cosy twin bedroom – both rooms have ample storage space for luggage. There’s also a family bathroom with a shower over the bath and WC.
Outside, you’ll find a shared area to the front of the cottage (shared with neighbouring cottages), and parking is available for two cars opposite the cottage. There’s a wonderful pub with food (2 miles), and a shop (4.5 miles) within reach.
