Overview
Property code: SZ058

Escape to the western reaches of the Lake District National Park and thrill your party of six with exhilarating mountain rambles, scenic steam train rides and all the pub lunches you can stomach. There’s no need for Fido to miss out on the fun, this stunning region is delightfully dog-friendly and has lots to offer any excitable pup. The village of Haile is an excellent vantage point for discovering Ennerdale, Eskdale and Wasdale, so all you’ll need is your sense of adventure.

Contemporarily styled with cosy traditional elements such as a crackling wood burner, this delightful property has ample space for relaxing as a group. Natural light pours in through the large windows, providing weary hounds with snoozing spots. The open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner is the heart of the home with sofas to relax on and patio doors that open for an al fresco vibe. Budding cooks will find everything they need to rustle up meals to enjoy around the table, or why not dine outside. The garden has secret areas reached via winding pathways, just keep Rover close by as the garden isn’t enclosed. At bedtime, head upstairs to find the family bathroom and three bedrooms, one of which has an en-suite shower room.

The Ennerdale Valley is the ideal first stop for any expedition, whether you are sniffing out the pockets of woodland or gazing across tranquil Ennerdale Water. Venturing deeper into the Lake District will reward you with the sights of Eskdale and beyond, a sight best enjoyed from the vantage point of the Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway 11 miles away. For the hardened explorers, Skiddaw (28 miles), Scafell Pike (22 miles) and Great Gable (15 miles) may be a trek but are well worth the drive if you are tempted to scale their imposing heights.

Cosy cottage situated around working farms. Enjoyed a week at the end of Lambing season, so lots of lovely lambs to watch in the fields. Quite remote, but chosen to be both handy for Western Wainwrights and also to be able to pop to Wasdale & still get into Keswick.

The cottage is in a good location if you like being out in a remote area , it can sleep 6 and has a sitting area outside that is secluded. Cutlery , china and saucepans are sufficient although the Frying Pans need to be replaced. Dont expect luxury but all the basics are there.

Clean and comfortable, had everything we needed for our stay. We chose this cottage due to it's quiet location, and it didn't disappoint. More than enough parking across the road, less than 3 metres from the front door. Will stay here again if in the area. Host was lovely too.

A really lovely cottage in a peaceful location, spacious and comfortable for us (group of 4 + 1 dog). Be aware that is can be a considerable drive to some of the tourist spots (e.g. a drive to Windermere took on average 90 minutes), but it is a nice drive through beautiful countryside as opposed to being on a motorway, Recommended.

The stay was lovely and the cottage was really cute. I'd suggest arriving in light if possible as it was hard to find but that's the beauty of the countryside - everything is so hidden and extremely worth it when you arrive!

Very cosy and comfortable cottage in quiet location a few miles from Egremont. Spacious and well laid out open-plan living/dining/kitchen area. Pretty walled-garden and patio area at the back. The location worked for us but some might find it a bit remote with nothing in walking distance..

Nice cottage, good base to explore the western lakes. Co-op shop not too far away. The cottage is situated between two farms, so expect farm noises and smells! Didn't bother us though. The cottage next door is also a holiday let. We were lucky enough to see the yearly asteroid shower, on a clear night the sky is lit up with stars. Stanley Ghyll watRead moreerfall is definitely worth visiting, plus lots of hills to climb. The utility room and washing machine were very handy. Hide

It's a nice, cosy little place - Scafell is about 45 mins away, Keswick/Ambleside etc will take you a good hour or so. Nice sized kitchen, and two double sofas so a good amount of room Just to be aware that, although dog friendly, they're not allowed on sofa/upstairs and you have to hoover after. One of us slept downstairs with our nervous little Read morerescue. Overall very nice, but wish the dog was allowed upstairs to make it less stressful. Hide
