  • Reverse-level property benefiting from far-reaching sea views
  • Traditional fisherman’s cottage that’s been lovingly updated with a contemporary decor
  • Moments from the La’al Ratty steam train, a local tourist attraction offering tours of the nearby Eskdale Valle
Property code: OC-SZ409

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 slate floor, long arm shower head, WC and wash basin. 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 Smart TV

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.

Such a wonderfully relaxing cottage to stay in. The view is amazing, just watching the tide, the birds and the stunning sunsets is therapy in itself, I'd never tire of it. The bed and sofa is so comfortable. Living on a main road at home it is an absolute delight to sleep with the window open and smell the sea air. New wee shop at the back of thRead moree Pennington was very handy and several places to eat in the village mean you don't have to drive. Many lovely walks directly from the door or hop on Lal Ratty up the valley and walk from there. Hide

The cottage was beautiful and has been lovingly restored. The view out onto the estuary is lovely and the sunset amazing. The beds were very comfortable. Ravenglass is a lovely village with great walks and a nice pub. Note there is no shop. Parking for a small car was very useful.

Decided on a small break having seen Ravenglass on BB2 Villages By The Sea. Rivers End has a great location with views across Estuary & hills which is enhanced by being a upside down house layout. Very quiet, would certainly recommend the cottage & location.

We absolutely loved this charming cottage. Very clean, comfortable, well designed, with everything you need, and managing to preserve the original character.
