Traditional Farmhouse situated in the stunning Lake District National Park with views from the garden across the fells and valley, within easy reach of the coast.
Escape to this traditional Lakeland farmhouse, just 1 mile from the village of Ennerdale Bridge – it offers a welcoming base for five guests to discover this lesser-known part of the beautiful Lake District. The cosy period property, which has beamed ceilings throughout, is within 5 miles of tranquil Ennerdale Water, the most westerly lake, while the sandy beach at St Bees is just 7 miles away.
After a day spent climbing the fells or canoeing on Ullswater, the homely farmhouse is a great place to return for a meal and a warm-up. The attractively furnished lounge has comfortable seating and a wood burner, while in the country-style kitchen, you can enjoy a wonderful view as you cook. A bright dining room is a great place to plan tomorrow’s adventures. Upstairs, are three attractively furnished bedrooms: a king-size, a pretty twin, and a small single with a window looking over the fells. Outside, a suntrap garden features a patio and lawn with splendid views, perfect for dining alfresco.
Ennerdale Bridge has country pubs and a thriving community-owned cafe and shop, where you can buy local produce. You can canoe and kayak on crystal-clear Ennerdale Water, and explore lakeshore paths created by Wild Ennerdale, a major project allowing nature to re-wild part of this beautiful valley. Head to St Bees to see towering cliffs and feel the sand between your toes. The seaside town has a promenade and cafe as well as a children’s play area. For more adventurous outings, with fun for children and adults alike, visit the Go Ape treetop challenge at Whinlatter (17 miles).
