This cosy retreat is surrounded by breathtaking mountain scenery above Eskdale on Birker Moor, with views from the grounds of nearby majestic Scafell, the highest mountain in England.

Devoke Water (1.5 miles), the largest tarn in the Lake District, is just a short walk away from the property or investigate the archaeological sites including Neolithic and Bronze Age stone circles and settlements nearby. Take a short drive to the majestic Wastwater (11 miles), the deepest lake in England, Wasdale Head (13.5 miles) and Scafell Pike (13 miles) or head further west to the unspoiled beaches of the western coast. Visit Hardknott Pass (9 miles) with its Roman fort and wild swimming pools at Tongue Pot. Take a trip on the Ravenglass and Eskdale Steam Railway (8 miles), locally known as the ‘La’al Ratty’, visit Ravenglass (8 miles) with its Roman Bathhouse or Muncaster Castle (7 miles) with its spectacular gardens, Hawk and Owl Centre.

Staying at Ganny Loft was a really special experience. Of course it helped that I had a beautiful week of weather but it was just lovely to be in such a peaceful, remote location surrounded by nature. There is so many options to enjoy the outdoors in the surrounding area including hiking, bouldering and swimming in the clear and beautiful river EskRead more and river Duddon, as well as nearby Devoke water. The loft is cosy and well equipped and felt like a real sanctuary to come home to every night. Hide

Loved the location and the loft, so cosy and clean. We did a lot of walking using OS maps but unfortunately the paths couldnt be seen, fell in a peat bog but just got up and laughed it off

This is a fantastic little cottage. The cottage itself is furnished to a high standard and was very clean and comfortable. Theres no view from the cottage itself but the views from the communal areas make up for it, stunning all around, from wide flat moors to Scafell Pike. The cottage is a great location for walking with many routes straight from Read morethe door and is close to places like Wast Water, Windermere and Ambleside. Hide
