Very cozy home at a great location

The House looks much better in reality than on the photo’s. Very cosy and clean house. The kitchen is fully equipped with tea, coffee, a nice bottle of wine and a very nice cake as a welcome. There is also plenty of bed linnen available in the house. The Owner is very responsive to questions and eager to help. Overall we had a great stay here with a family of 6.

Not posh but fantastic location !

Had a lovely stay in a wonderful location. The pics look remote but In fact this property in the heart of ennerdale village almost next to A quiet pub serving good food. Aspects of the property need an update , for example sofas really old and tired. However we had a great stay, ample room for our large party. The real star of the show is ennerdale water less than a mile away. Swimming , paddle boarding and kayaking all easy to do in this quiet beautiful location. Fabulous

Lovely spacious cottage in ideal location.

This is a very beautiful and spacious cottage. We had a family of 8 staying including children we thoroughly enjoyed it. The cottage was nice and clean with all mod cons of a home It’s very thoughtful of the owners to include many modes of entertainment, including board games table tennis and a pool table. There were even disposable BBQ trays. Would highly recommend for a large family or groups.

Lovely Cottage

Really lovely family cottage in picturesque village location. Recently stayed at this cottage with two teenagers and our family dog. We all had a relaxing and fun couple of nights. The cottage is very spacious with plenty of room. The living room is very welcoming with a wood burning stove in the corner and very large flatscreen TV. The bedrooms were all of ample size and the bathrooms modern. The kitchen and house had everything you could possibly need. There was even three types of milk in the fridge and this months magazines to read. There is an amazing walk around Ennerdale Lake and it is close to many other attractions. Thank you for a great short break.

Further to your comment here, we have spoken on the phone. You felt that the oven needed a deeper clean, and we have now taken care of this. You also emailed us to say, ‘We had a great week at your property thank you very much’. We are pleased you enjoyed your stay, and thank you for the additional feedback.

Nice, tidy,

Very spacious nice and tidy house. Provide all for our big family. All different age groups found what they like. The location is so good. Although it is bit far from the centre of the Lake District but it was so nice to have a quite real holiday. Views around the nearest lake is so good.

We do have a good location in the Lake District National Park. The property lies in a quiet village and within 200m metres of two pubs, yet within a mile of Ennerdale Water, unspoilt and fantastic walking - paths and tracks for walkers and cyclists alike. It doesn't have the queues of Windermere, and it is because we aren't in the centre of the Lake District that the village is quiet and valley of Ennerdale is unspoilt. These are worth a look: http://www.wildennerdale.co.uk/ https://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/features/wild-ennerdale-cumbria We aren't far from Buttermere , Loweswater and Crummock Water - three more Lakes if you wish to see other local beautiful places in the National Park. Areas including these were in the Beatrix Potter Films. We are within 30 minutes drive of the West Coast of Britain. Go to the beach at St Bees. So the best of both worlds - Mountains , yes, and the Coast -easy to get to.

Why they chose this property

This is a wonderfully tranquil and beautiful part of the Lake District National Park. You are close to a fantastic Lake - Ennerdale Lake which is as clear and clean as you can find anywhere. Ennerdale has forestry tracks and which is great for cycling. You have great views of Pillar, you can see down in to Buttermere valley from the tops, and Red Pike, High Stile, and many others provide great walking. The walk around the Lake provides a taste of what lies further up Wild Ennerdale valley. If you like the beach, you are less than 25 mins from the coast by car.
You do not get traffic jams on the roads or queues of walkers up the fell paths. If you have not tried this part of the Lake District you should come and have a look!
A well equipped, modern and spacious property, ideal for families, and family groups , and groups of friends.
We have Sky Sports 1 to 5, Sky Movies , along with Sky Box Sets including Game of Thrones and Others

What makes this property unique

The property is a minute from the pub, which does good food too. It has a bar and restaurant. We have great views looking on to fields and the River Ehen and can see the fells from the property. We like looking at the horses when and sheep when they are grazing there.
The garden is South facing and enjoys the sun all day.
You see the sun set over the back, and it gets dark at 11pm in the summer, so can enjoy the conservatory till late.
The property is modern and spacious, sleeps 10 and our children enjoy the table tennis, snooker. We have Sky Sports 1 to 5, Sky Movies , along with Sky Box Sets including Game of Thrones and Others. You can BBQ (provided upon request) south facing garden overlooking the field and the River Ehen.
