1 Bed Cottage in Eskdale

About this property

Watch the sun go down over the fells when you and your loved one escape to this Cumbrian cottage at Birkerthwaite. 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.

Open the door to this rural retreat and make yourselves immediately at home in accommodation that dates back to the 1600s. 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. Settle down to watch a good film on the Smart TV over a bottle of red wine in the winter months. Prepare tasty dinners for two in the kitchen area then dine together inside or out. When the day draws to a close, climb the wooden stairs up to the first floor. Here you will find a charming galleried dressing space leading to a double bedroom with a modern, four-poster bed. There is a bathroom at the cottage where you can enjoy long, hot bubble baths. Cook lunch or dinner out on the BBQ in your private garden on summer afternoons. Take a stroll around the shared gardens as well, looking out for wildlife.

Lace up your boots and amble less than 1 mile to see the scenic Stanley Ghyll Waterfall. Drive 10 miles to Ravenglass to walk beside the sea and visit the ruins of a Roman bathhouse. Pack a picnic and head 9 miles to beautiful Wast Water.
