This home has all you need to enjoy a stay in the only coastal village in the Lake District. The cottage offers a high level of comfort and is fitted out to a high standard with classy furniture and furnishings. The cottage also has retained traditional features including a flagstone floor in the dining room part of which is covered by a classic woollen rug. William Morris design curtains are in the dining room and bedrooms. There is a Chippendale fitted kitchen with smart granite worktops. There are porcelain tiles in the kitchen, lobby and bathroom with an underfloor heating facility in these areas. Artwork by a local artist and photos of the area adorn walls in the main rooms of the cottage.

Escape to this lovely village with lots of walks to follow, and you can take a stroll by the water during your break. For panoramic views and a slightly more strenuous climb, head 2.5 miles to Muncaster Fell and visit Muncaster Castle (1.5 miles) too. Steeped in history, the Roman Bath House is less than a mile from your door and worth a visit whether you’re a history enthusiast or not. The heart of Wasdale is 11 miles from home and the valley boasts England’s highest mountain and deepest lake where you can jump in for a wild swim.

Step up and through the front door to find yourself in the lounge. Take a seat on the sofa or one of the chairs and enjoy the wood burner-effect electric fire. Switch on the TV or sit with a book to relax. Make your way into the modern kitchen with a built-in fan oven with ceramic hobs, dishwasher and a fridge. Serve up in the dining room where the table seats all guests so you can enjoy time together whilst you eat. Beside the dining room and the kitchen is a pantry with useful microwave and freezer. If you need to wash clothes throughout your stay, there is a washer/dryer in the lobby between the kitchen and bathroom. Completing the ground floor is the family bathroom with WC and shower over the bath. Find two welcoming bedrooms upstairs. First is the double bedroom with ornamental fireplace and a shower in the room. Next is the twin room, a lovely spot in which to drift off.

Outside the dining room and kitchen is a small back yard, which catches the morning sun. There is an outhouse with a WC and sink which can be used in all but the winter months. There is off-road parking for one small car at the front of the property, larger cars may not fit. Additional space is available in the public pay and display car park.

A delightful cottage right in the heart of the old village of Ravenglass. Well equipped, clean and comfortable, it has good bathroom and toilet facilities including an outside loo. Ravenglass is a unique place being connected by railway to Carlisle, Barrow-in Furness and Lancaster, and the famous narrow gauge railway La'al Ratty for trips into EskdRead moreale. There are three good pubs in the village all serving good food and local ales, the Inn at Ravenglass boasting an idyllic estuary-side location. Hide

This is a fantastic place to stay. Having access to the beach was lovely. A good location and the coast is great to explore. The village is quiet and friendly and the added railway gives an extra place to see including the excellent muncaster Castle. Cottage is very well equipped, clean, tidy and well maintained. Beds really comfy and the cottage wRead moreas warm and cosy. Definitely recommended and I'd come back to stay. Hide
