2 Bed Cottage in Eskdale

About this property

Set in the picturesque village of Eskdale, this fantastic holiday cottage offers self-catering accommodation with splendid views across to the fells. It is handy for both the pub and the village shop, there are also hundreds of walks right from the front door either on the fells or along the banks of the River Esk, which flows from the top of the valley down to the estuary at Ravenglass, an old fishing village complete with a ruined Roman bath-house. The river has natural pools for swimming and is a popular place for canoeing and fishing.

The famous Ravenglass and Eskdale Miniature Railway runs along the valley, its steam trains making the leisurely 7-mile journey down to the sea - Irton Road station is just a short walk from the cottage - the trains can be seen from the garden. There are five pubs in the valley, all welcoming children and serving real ales and a wide choice of good food.

The village shop is just a ten minute walk away and sells a comprehensive range of goods, including groceries, fresh fruit and vegetables, food to go, alcohol, newspapers and outdoor equipment and clothing.

The door leads into a small porchway area leading into the sitting room with TV and CD player. The kitchen leads on from the lounge and is fully equipped with microwave, fridge (with small freezer compartment), electric cooker and dishwasher. A welcome pack of milk, tea and coffee is provided to start you off on your holiday. There is dining for four in the kitchen.
