Surrounded by the dramatic rugged scenery of the fells, these delightful, 17th-century, beamed holiday cottages offer well-fitted and well-furnished accommodation. Forming part of a small former farmstead, they are accessed by a gated unmade farm track and occupy an elevated position overlooking Scafell and the Eskdale Valley. Ideal for walkers and nature lovers, the cottages lie a short walk from Stanley Force Waterfall and Devoke Water, and the villages of Eskdale and Boot with shop and traditional inns serving good food (3 miles). Narrow gauge steam railway, 3miles. Muncaster Castle and Hardknott Roman Fort nearby.
