Cottage in Cumbria

Holiday Rental Description

For a family friendly day out, board the La al Ratty Steam Engine to the coast at Ravenglass (6 miles) or to Boot (2 miles). From Ravenglass, visit the Roman Bath House or Muncaster Castle and Gardens, or enjoy the network of great walks from Boot and reward your efforts with a treat in the cafe. Next to the beautiful Eskdale Valley is the valley of Wasdale, the heart of which is 8.5 miles away. Here, find England s highest mountain and deepest lake and hop on some great walking trails or jump in Wastwater for a refreshing dip. Make your way inside via the side door and head through the covered porch to the hallway. Leave boots and coats behind and find the family bathroom with WC handily located close by. With a shower over the bath, enjoy a relaxing soak to ease aching muscles, or freshen up quickly before dinner. The utility room has washing machine, tumble dryer and space to hang clothes so there is no need to worry if your walks get muddy. There is also a useful adjoining WC. For a spot of peace and quiet, there is a room with seating and a well stocked bookcase or two. A stylish, spacious room, the kitchen/diner is equipped with an electric oven and induction hob, microwave, dishwasher and a large integrated fridge and separate integrated freezer. Choose your chef for the night and devour delicious meals at the table which boasts mountain views and has plenty of room for you all to dine together. After dinner, throw a log on the open fire or throw open the patio doors and get comfortable in the lounge. If you can tear your eyes away from the fabulous views, switch on the TV or put on your favourite DVD for a relaxing evening. When it s time to say good night and rest your heads, make your way to one of three inviting bedrooms. Sitting on the ground floor, the super king size bedroom can be made up as a twin if requested at time of booking and is a lovely room in which to drift off. Upstairs, admire views through the large windows on the landing before finding the master bedroom with super king size bed which can also be made up as twin beds if requested on booking. Due to its position in the cottage, this room has sloping ceilings so do take care. The charming twin room also has quirky sloping ceilings and has a tranquil feel. The twin beds are adult sized but low to the ground. The first floor bedrooms can share the shower room with WC. Stair gates are provided for both the top and bottom of the stairs should you be holidaying with little ones. Enjoy continuing your time in the great outdoors and take a seat in the garden which is enclosed for the safety of your canine companions. Sit with a drink under the pergola and watch the La al Ratty steam engine chug past or lift your gaze to the top of the majestic fells. Part of the garage is available for guest use with a bike rack and an open wardrobe with shelves for other outdoor equipment.
