Tucked on the western fringes of the Lake District National Park, within easy reach of Cumbria’s dramatic coastline, lakes, and fells, this admirable abode is the perfect base for adventure. Pet-friendly and family-welcoming, the property is surrounded by a picturesque patchwork of farmers' fields and wide-open countryside. It sleeps six guests and welcomes up to three canine companions, offering a cosy and comfortable retreat after long days spent exploring the great outdoors. While you're out and about, be sure to stop by the world-famous family butchers just opposite to pick up some locally reared treats – Cumberland sausages make the perfect hearty breakfast the next morning.

This handsome retreat retains plenty of character, with charming stone accents and exposed beamed trusses throughout. Step into the inviting open-plan lounge, kitchen, and dining area – a relaxed space where everyday life can unfold slowly and peacefully. A wood burner adds warmth and atmosphere on cooler days, while French doors lead directly out to the patio garden for sunny moments. The spacious king-size bedroom on the ground floor comes complete with an en-suite bathroom, while two additional double bedrooms and a family bathroom can be found upstairs. Ample private parking completes the package.

From Waberthwaite, take a short trip to Ravenglass (4.5 miles), a charming coastal village rich in history. Explore the fascinating Ravenglass Roman Bath House or hop aboard the beloved La’al Ratty heritage railway, which winds through the scenic Eskdale Valley to Dalegarth (7.5 miles). Hikers and climbers are well catered for too – with gentle trails like Muncaster Fell (3.5 miles) close by, or the challenge of England’s highest mountain, Scafell Pike, just 15 miles away.

A lovely stay on the quieter side of the Lakes, great distance from Scafell, Wasdale and Yewbarrow for some tasty hikes! Cottage was fab for a family of four and the dog, plenty of space and the log burner was a great touch to warm us all up after a day out exploring in the colder months.

Really lovely cottage in the Cumbrian countryside. Beautiful location, a bit of driving required if you want to go and see places but really lovely places to explore. Highly recommend the railway, Eskdale Mill and the beach.

Unfortunately this property was a disappointment because of the dog situation and not private sitting having a meal only to have children walking straight past the window. Then opening the door to be greeted by numerous chickens wandering around. Also left to go get some shopping and returned to be informed by my son who stayed in that someone haRead mored rocked up and cut the grass .Why would you do that when someone has paid money to rent the place for the week. surely it should of been done prior to us arriving. We left early because it was anything but a relaxing stay if you sit out on the paved area all you can hear is some kind of generator whirring which is hidden in the rockery/plants,or what sounded like gun fire in the distance not what we had envisioned at all Hide
