Overview
Property code: 87722

Well-positioned cottage with warming sunroom and two gardens. Close to the quiet coastline and the Lake District National Park. Perfect base to explore fells and coast.

A light and airy cottage 3 miles from the edge of the Lake District National Park. The dog-friendly cottage features spacious living areas, a relaxing sunroom and beautiful gardens to the front and rear. It is a convenient base for anyone keen to explore the fells and historic attractions across the Wasdale and Eskdale Valleys.

The cottage stands in a quiet residential cul-de-sac surrounded by undulating countryside. Its interior is naturally lit and beautifully furnished, with plenty of space for guests on two and four paws to move around in comfort. The lounge off the hallway is a real treat, the perfect place to unwind after a day exploring the local area. The nearby kitchen has all the equipment required to create fortifying meals using local ingredients, with a handy utility room to the side. The adjacent sunroom offers a quiet corner to relax in. The spacious dining room is surely at its best when the French doors leading out into the garden are thrown open to allow the sunshine in. A king-size bedroom and a family bedroom complete the ground floor, while two twin bedrooms on the first floor boast stunning fell views on clear days and access to a second bathroom. The front and rear gardens are handy for dogs that love the odd boundary check and can supervise their humans’ afternoon drinks and stargazing at night.

Walkers, trail and fell runners will be in their element at this cottage, which sits 3 miles from both the western edge of the Lake District National Park and the Cumbrian coastline. Footpaths lead from Beckermet village, but for those in need of something more challenging, the valleys of Wasdale and Eskdale - home to Scafell Range and Great Gable (within 13.5 miles) - are ideal. Wastwater and the River Esk (8 miles) are great for water sports.

  • 3 bedrooms – 1 king-size and 2 twins
  • 2 bathrooms – a shower over the bath and WC on the ground floor and shower and WC on the first floor
  • Induction electric hob, electric oven, dishwasher, microwave, and fridge/freezer

Comfortable property in a quiet location. A little tight to get a large vehicle on the driveway but not too tricky. Very friendly and helpful owner.

Recently refurbished to a very high standard, with new modern furniture and appliances throughout, this has to be considered a tremendous location for the more exclusive and quieter western part of the Lake District. Close to beautiful easy lake walks and serious rambling, as well as coastal cliff routes, bird watching and beaches.

This is a great house to stay for a holiday in the Lake District. The owner is very friendly and helpful, the house is beautifully decorated and well equipped. We loved sitting in the conservatory admring the views of the sea and the mountains. It is near Ennerdale and Wasdale and not far from Keswick. Would definitely recommend it.
