Sleeping up to four guests and two beloved canine companions, this characterful former station master’s cottage which sits on an old railway platform is perfect for a unique getaway – from your window, you can watch the narrow-gauge steam engines preparing for a journey to Eskdale. Unwind on the coast of the Lake District National Park during your stay in a charming seaside village surrounded by historic landmarks and sandy beaches, with lakes and mountain peaks within easy reach.
As you enter the railway cottage, you’ll notice the thoughtful decor that pays homage to the golden era of rail travel. The open-plan lounge/diner is spacious and bright with two plump sofas beside the window and a wooden dining table at the other side of the room. Continue into the contemporary kitchen with a patterned floor and stylish marble-effect surface tops on the fitted kitchen unit. Both bedrooms continue the nostalgic charm of the property and consist of a double bedroom with an en-suite shower room and a twin room. Completing the interior is a family shower room with a double walk-in shower. Outside is a secluded rear patio with furniture and to the front is a railway platform.
Enjoy a relaxing stay in the coastal village of Ravenglass, where you can visit the local pub, ice cream parlour and historic attractions – the Ravenglass Roman Bath House and a steam railway museum (both within 0.5 miles). Walk along the River Usk and the seafront (both within 1 mile). Nearby is the dog-friendly Drigg Sand Dunes and Beach nature reserve (5 miles). For a challenging hike, head deeper into the national park to find the 978m Scafell Pike mountain peak (12 miles), or go for a tranquil stroll around Wast Water lake (9.5 miles).
