Hermitage Cottage

About this property

Hermitage Cottage is a luxury holiday cottage in Lancashire, tucked away on the exclusive Hermitage Estate in Halton. Sleeping four guests in two elegant bedrooms, this single-level self-catering holiday home offers peace, privacy, and a touch of indulgence. Highlights include a private lakeside hot tub, outdoor dining terrace, and a stylish open-plan living space complete with a piano for relaxed evenings in. Perfect for couples or small families, the property combines modern comfort with a unique riverside setting. Within easy reach of Lancaster, Morecambe Bay, and the Lake District, Hermitage Cottage is an exceptional base for exploring North West England.

Hermitage Cottage is a peaceful hideaway with a backdrop that feels almost storybook. Tucked beside the River Lune on the exclusive Hermitage Estate, this single-level cottage is all about comfort and quiet luxury. The interiors are bright and welcoming, with an easy flow from the modern kitchen to the open-plan living space. There’s even a piano if you fancy filling the evening with music and in the games room you will find a snooker, and fooseball table. Step outside and the scene is just as inviting: manicured gardens, a terrace made for outdoor living, a masonry bbq and a private hot tub where you can sink back and watch the water drift by. With two lovely bedrooms, it’s a perfect fit for a couple’s escape, a small family holiday, or a few friends looking for somewhere special to unwind.

Although the estate feels wonderfully private, the village of Halton is just around the corner. Take a gentle stroll to the community hub for a good coffee, or follow one of the paths along the riverbank for an easy afternoon walk. When you’re ready to explore further, Lancaster is a short drive away and full of character. Spend time browsing its independent shops, settle in for lunch at one of the many excellent cafés, or take a guided tour of Lancaster Castle to discover over a thousand years of history. Georgian streets, friendly pubs, and a lively food scene make the city a brilliant contrast to the calm of your riverside base.

If you’re tempted by the outdoors, then you’re in the right place. Head to Arnside & Silverdale, where coastal views and peaceful nature trails are an easy 30-minute drive, or plan a day in the Lake District for classic fell walks and shimmering lakes just under an hour away. Closer to home, the River Lune is perfect for a spot of fishing or kayaking, while Capernwray’s clear waters are popular with divers. Gresgarth Hall Gardens is another gem for a leisurely outing, and Crook O’Lune makes a lovely picnic stop. Whether your idea of a holiday is getting out and about or simply staying put with a good book and the hot tub waiting outside, Hermitage Cottage offers the space and setting to do it your way.
