Escape to Eskdale with family and four-legged friends when you choose this welcoming apartment with breath-taking views of the surrounding fells.

Set out on foot to explore the picturesque Giggle Alley woodland, at the heart of which lies the remains of a Japanese Garden, now a tranquil spot for relaxing. Enjoy a scenic stroll along the River Esk, being sure to take the short detour to the magical Stanley Ghyll force. For a more challenging route, take to higher ground with a hike up to Scafell and Scafell Pike, 10 miles away. Rest your legs for a while with a ride on the famous Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway, also known as La’al Ratty, which offers its passengers some spectacular scenery along the way. For history, head to Muncaster Castle, 6 miles away, or to blow away the cobwebs take to Drigg Beach, 7 miles away. Afterwards, hearty meals can be enjoyed at the dog-friendly pub in the village.

Inside, this period property has been sympathetically modernised to provide fresh and contemporary accommodation with plenty of original features retained throughout. The spacious two storey apartment has a modern kitchen/diner which boasts flagstone flooring and a charming farmhouse-style table for reflecting on the day’s activities. The kitchen is equipped with an electric oven and hobs, fridge/freezer, microwave and washing machine/dryer. The lounge is a striking room with its large bay window for making the most of the stunning fell views, an inviting sofa and armchairs and a wood burner set into an original marble fireplace. When you’re not admiring the views, make the most of the TV with its Sky and Sky Sports package. Also on the ground floor is the fresh and bright master king-size bedroom and modern family bathroom with a shower over the bath. On the first floor is a spacious twin bedroom with plenty of storage space - perfect for children.

Outside, the shared garden offers a tranquil space for relaxing with the dogs, with its picnic bench for al fresco dining and large lawn for sniffing.

Our elderly dog struggled with the gradient of the drive and garden and a more structured barrier would be great to stop toddlers and pets falling from the drive to the lower path, not a great distance but enough for a possible injury, I don't think the spaced out pots are enough of a deterrent although beautiful.

An absolutely delightful short stay over the new year period. The cottage was decorated so beautifully with Christmas decorations and a wonderful christmas tree in the bay window. The wood burner made the room so cosy.

Had a great relaxing stay, so much do we enquired about extending our stay by another night, which would have been great, unfortunately with a 75 admin fee plus the cost of an extra night this made it way to expensive, which is a shame for the owner as the property remained unoccupied
