Retreat to the western fringes of the beautiful Lakes when you stay at this well-designed holiday home in the village of Gosforth. Located approximately 5.5 miles from the coast at Ravenglass, the four-bedroom house sleeps six guests and up to four dogs. Plan trips out to picturesque Eskdale, 5.5 miles away, or to scenic Wastwater, 4.5 miles away. Walk on the beach at Ravenglass, see the ruins of the Roman bathhouse, then return to relax out in the garden at your Gosforth cottage.
Enter via the hall and wander through to the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner. Put the kettle on for a cup of tea, unpack the provisions you have bought and consider whipping up a tasty meal for your party. You have a useful washing machine, plus a dishwasher so no one has to wash up after dinner. Make your way over to the comfortable seating to unwind in front of the Smart TV, play games with your family or friends, or read your book. Climb the stairs at the end of each exciting day to soak in a bubble bath in the family bathroom then lay your head in either the super-king-size bedroom, the twin, the double or the small double. Spend sunny evenings out in the garden, sizzling supper on the BBQ and sitting out round the firepit until the stars come out. Parking for this cottage is on the road, subject to availability.
Keen walkers might like to attempt the 8-mile loop of Wastwater, which takes in some magical views. Eager climbers can drive 8 miles and then attempt to reach the top of Scafell Pike, the second-highest mountain in England. Stanley Ghyll Waterfall and Great Worm Cragg, both about 10 miles away, are other beauty spots hikers will enjoy.
