Self Catering Cottage/Home/Apartment in Eskdale, Cumbria (inc. Lake District) (4920 Views)

Situated in the heart of Eskdale, one of the most tranquil valleys of the Lake District, Hollin Head is a traditional Lakeland cottage that dates back as far as records began in 1586. The accommodation has a fully equipped kitchen (with oven, microwave, dishwasher, washing machine, tumble drier, hifi system etc), dining room with a large table seating eight and a piano for singalongs, sitting room with widescreen TV, video and DVD player, and four bedrooms (one double, one twin, one triple and one single). Pets are more than welcome.

A large walled garden leads out to hundreds of walks – either on the fells or along the banks of the River Esk, which flows from Scafell at the top of the valley down to the estuary at Ravenglass, an old fishing village complete with a ruined Roman bath-house! The river has natural pools for swimming and is a popular place for canoeing and for fishing. The famous Ravenglass & Eskdale Miniature Railway runs along the valley, its steam trains leisurely making the seven mile journey down to the sea.

There are three pubs within walking distance of the cottage. All welcome children and serve real ales and a wide choice of good food. The village shop and post office, Eskdale Stores, sells a comprehensive range of goods, including groceries, fresh fruit and vegetables, food to go, alcohol and newspapers.

Please contact the owner regarding availability.
