Sawmill Holiday Cottage
Description
General Introduction
With magnificent views of the Lake District fells and mountains, Sawmill Cottage nestles discreetly off the main coastal route, just two miles from Ravenglass village on the outskirts of Waberthwaite. The cottage is comfortable and spacious and is semi-detached.
There are many lanes to explore from the doorstep and the pituresque valleys of Eskdale and Wasdale are just a twenty minute drive away. This is an ideal setting for those who love the Lake District's scenery, yet appreciate the peace and tranquility of rural life.
Waberthwaite village shop is just one mile away, the Brown Cow is the nearest pub, two miles away.
