Sleeping two guests, the one-bedroom, dog-friendly hideaway nestles in spectacular, serene surroundings close to enchanting Birker Moor. Ideal for trips to the picturesque coast and the through the Lake District, it has a wood burner for cuddling up beside and a private garden for summer sunshine.

The open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner has a beamed ceiling, tiled floor and everything you and your loved one require for a comfortable stay. Take a step up to open the French doors to the garden on spring and summer days. Light the wood burner so it crackles gently in the background on chilly evenings.

The cottage was gorgeous and located in a rural and fairly remote area but not too far away from a local shop to get supplies. ( Eskdale) Stunning scenery just surrounded by mountains! The owners included an information pack which was super helpful , detailing local amenities , shops, Drs etc plus many walks which are accessible from the front doorRead more. Local attractions such as Devoke Water , The eskdale Steam Railway and the water mill well worth a visit and not far.. Would definitely return!!! Hide

Lovely cottage but the location really is remote - expect a 15min drive to get to the nearest pub. The good news is that pubs in Boot and Eskdale are all great. The cottage had everything we needed for a cozy week and a bit of walking in the hills but dont forget it does rain a lot in the Lake District! At least we had a woodburner and hot water baRead moreck at the cottage. Hide
