  • Spend time in the large south-facing garden admiring the fell views
  • Enjoy the games room, outside table tennis table and pond in the orchard with use of raft
Property code: OC-SZ195

Sitting in the Eskdale Valley, fill your days with walks, adventures and exhilarating activities. Passing close to your door, hop on the Eskdale Trail for a walk or board the Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway from Dalegarth Station (less than half a mile) for a family-friendly day out. Journey to Ravenglass to see the sea (7.5 miles) before returning and enjoying a delicious meal in Boot. Just 1.5 miles away in Boot, the West Lakes Adventure Centre is a great place to send guests with an appetite for adrenaline-pumping activities with ghyll scrambling, climbing and kayaking just a few of the things on offer.

From the hallway, make your way into the spacious kitchen where you can pop the kettle on. Find a dishwasher, an electric range cooker, microwave, and a large fridge to help you when preparing and clearing up after meals. A washing machine, tumble dryer, a second fridge and separate upright freezer can be found in the room under the stairs. Enjoy tea and snacks at the breakfast table in the kitchen, or for more formal dinners in the dining room where there is plenty of space to dine together. From the kitchen, step through to the conservatory area where you can sit and admire the fell views and throw open the doors to let the outside in. After dinner, relax together in the lounge with TV/DVD- great for film nights and chilled afternoons. The wood burner promises to keep you cosy. Two of seven bedrooms can be found on the ground floor: a handy family room with a double and single bed, and a room with bunk beds. A family bathroom with shower over bath and WC also resides on this floor. Heading to the first floor, find five more bedrooms and a pair of bathrooms. Three double bedrooms are lovely spots in which to drift off, as is the twin room and the second family room with one double and one single beds .  These bedrooms share a shower room with WC and further bathroom with WC.

The south-facing, enclosed garden is a great spot in which to enjoy your morning cup of tea or coffee. If you take a tipple outside in the evening, enjoy knocking a ball around on the table tennis table, or head to the games barn to avoid the rain and stay entertained. In one of the side gardens is a small pond and in the orchard is a pond which you are welcome to wander. Rafts are provided so fun can be had but please supervise children in both areas. There is parking for five cars.

Fisherground - an outstanding property and ideal for family gatherings such as ours. We wanted for nothing - for all our needs were satisfied. Its location was perfect, with the Ratty trains visible puffing along about 300 yards away. The accommodation pattern was very flexible and its location near the head of Eskdale was ideal for short or longerRead more walks. Although other properties were near we felt very much alone which was perfect for us. We are very grateful to have found Fisherground. Hide

We enjoyed our stay at Fisherground Farmhouse to celebrate my son's 40th birthday. It was clean and tidy and very well equipped with everything you would need, plenty crockery, cutlery, washing machine, tumble dryer, iron, ironing board. The only thing missing was a hair dryer. We would certainly visit again. Nearby attractions are Muncaster CastleRead more and Eskdale Steam train. Which unfortunately was not open when we visited. There's a little park next to the cottage and a barn with games in it. Hide

My family really loved the farmhouse and Eskdale. We had a very relaxing week, walking the local fells and riverside paths. The children soon forgot about the non existent telephone service which I thought was a good thing.

The holiday home was really well equipped, beautifully decorated and furnished and in a stunning location. There are several lovely walks without getting in the car e. g Japanese garden, River Esk and a waterfall. The location is also great for the coast.

The farmhouse was very well equipped for our party of thirteen, also very roomy. A little remote but access to Scafell Pike was good, other areas a little harder to get to.

There were 14 adults and a baby. we all fitted in and there is a large lounge where we all played games and the dining table was big enough for us all to sit at which you don't always have.
