A rustic stone cottage with awe-inspiring views all around, this charming semi-detached property creates a wonderful setting for a trip with your loved ones and pets. It’s located in a peaceful hamlet bordering the River Esk which you can follow along on foot to St Catherine’s Church (1.5 miles). You’ll be just 1 mile from the local village of Boot where you’ll find two welcoming pubs serving fresh food and real ales.

The accommodation has been lovingly restored with many of its original features still intact, such as high vaulted ceilings and elegant wooden ceiling beams. The flooring throughout is in quality polished wooden floorboards, and large windows ensure you can enjoy the sunlight and wonderful fell views. There is a charming downstairs twin bedroom with en-suite shower room. Upstairs, the open-plan living area has a well-equipped kitchen running down one side and a central dining table for enjoying meals together. In the cosy lounge area, sink into one the comfy sofas and pop something on the TV. An electric fire keeps you all warm, and there’s a variety of books and games available. On this floor, you’ll also find an impressive double bedroom and a family bathroom with shower over the bath. From the living space, head out to the raised decked patio where you can sip morning coffee or evening wine. Steps from here lead down to an al fresco dining space and a small lawn.

Outdoor enthusiasts will love discovering the surrounding area by foot or mountain bike. Follow the River Esk along to the breathtaking Stanley Ghyll Force waterfall (7 miles) for a wonderful introduction to the area. Cyclists may want to check out the Eskdale Trail stretching from Dalegarth (1 mile) to Ravenglass (7.5 miles), down by the sea. For a challenging adventure, the mighty Scafell Pike (13.5 miles), England’s highest mountain offers inspiring views celebrated by historical greats including Wainwright, Wordsworth and Coleridge.

This is a wonderfully peaceful spot in a lovely corner of the Lake District. We loved having walks from the door, and the Ravenglass-Eskdale railway is just up the road. We really appreciated having a boot room and space to store bikes. One note of warning, the lane up to the property is narrow - we were brushing through plants on both sides.

For me there is no finer location in the valley. Met lovely people and animals. Easy walk to the most delightful easy river walks and Ratty cafe. We walked to just above Thostlegarth to swim in our own rock pool, Harterfell is as fun as ever and quiet, we came down via Hardknott and Roman camp. Stanley gill and Birkerforce not to be missed. All shoRead morepping from Gosforth- welcoming and plenty of fresh veg, Cumberland sausages. Very spacious well equipped house with quick to respond to queries. Hide
