Overview
Property code: SZ436

With great access to the fells and the Cumbrian coast, discover wonderful walks from the door up the Wasdale valley, following the River Irt or along the coast at Drigg beach, 3 miles away.

With uninterrupted views of the Wasdale fells, this impressive holiday home offers self-catering accommodation in a stunning location which is a wonderful starting point for hundreds of walks, either on the high fells or along the banks of the River that flows past the pub at Santon Bridge. Scafell Pike is a short distance away at the end of the Wasdale Valley.

The Santon Bridge Inn is just a 10-minute walk away and hosts the International 'Greatest Liar' competition towards the end of the year. It also serves good food and fine ale. Wasdale (10 mins drive) also boasts England's deepest lake (Wastwater), highest mountain (Scafell) and smallest church (St Olaf's).

Eskdale is another lovely valley, only 10 minutes drive away, with hundreds of river and mountain walks. It also houses a terminus for the Ravenglass and Eskdale Steam Railway - a popular miniature railway that travels 7 scenic miles to the coastal fishing village of Ravenglass. Muncaster Castle, Gardens and Owl Centre is also 15 minutes away and has lots going on all year round.

The front door leads to the beamed sitting room with a Victorian cast iron fire place and TV with built in DVD player.

From the sitting room is the beamed kitchen, which has seating for six and is fully equipped with an electric cooker, fridge with freezer compartment and microwave. The kitchen door leads to the downstairs WC and wash basin and then out to the garden.

The stairs lead from the kitchen to the double bedroom with window and views to the front of the property. On this floor is also a bathroom with shower, sink and toilet. The small twin bedroom leads off from the first floor landing area.

At the back of the cottage is a lovely enclosed garden entered via a small gateway opposite the back door across a cobbled rear access. In the garden is a sitting out area that has fantastic views of the Lakeland fells including Scafell Pike and Great Gable.

Traditional homely cottage with beautiful features Great location with stunning scenery with easy access to many different areas. Shower good, all kitchen utensils to hand and comfy sofas. Although garden access is via cobbled thoroughfare this was not troublesome at all and was quaint with potted plants and the view from end of garden was superb.

Lovely cottage in a great location to explore Wasdale, Eskdale and Ennerdale and the coast. Very clean and superb views from the cottage garden. Dog owners just be aware that the property owners do not want dogs to go to toilet in the garden.

A lovely home from home cosy cottage in a perfect position to explore an area which has so much to offer. Although the cottage is definitely dog friendly, not being able to relax with them in the garden (as toileting is not allowed) meant that we had extra pressure having to pre-empt their needs, and having to take them over a busy road to the grasRead mores opposite.

The cottage is lovely, most things were provided apart from towels. The kitchen is small, but well equipped there Is no washing machine, but the space is small , one wouldn't fit. The views from the garden were gorgeous, and the location is good for walking. There is a TV for those evenings that you don't want to go to the local pub .

Lovely cottage...back to basics but sweet cottage & tastefully decorated. Garden is remote and dogs not able to be 'let out' or to relieve themselves there, but if you're in the Lakes to walk and enjoy the outdoors, and the gorgeous local pub, it's not too inconvenient. Fantastic local lakes, hills, beaches and cafes/pubs. Would recommend SW Lakes Read moreaway from all the tourism. Hide
