Stepping over the threshold, be greeted by a snug, where you can enjoy a quiet moment with a book away from the crowds. From here, the competitive guest will be delighted to discover a stylish games room, fully equipped with a pool table, dartboard, and table tennis setup. A large, plush corner sofa and Smart TV complete the space, creating the perfect spot for friendly tournaments or enjoying a spot of family bonding. Relax and unwind in the airy open-plan living space in front of the Smart TV, and admire the rolling valley views framed by the large windows. The kitchen, with its Silestone worktops, houses everything you need for the aspiring chef to whip up a hearty meal for the group. When it’s time to dine, gather around one of the two inviting dining tables for a memorable meal, and make a toast to an unforgettable getaway. Continue the conversation outside onto your own private oasis, where you can savour a glass of wine or dine alfresco amidst the occasional birdsong. Afterwards, head upstairs where you will discover a beautiful mid-terrace, an idyllic spot to watch the sun dip below the horizon. The first and second floor offers five tastefully-presented bedrooms, three king-size, a double, and a twin, each designed for ultimate comfort and ample storage for all your holiday essentials. On the first floor, two king-size bedrooms feature spacious dressing areas with plush sofas and stunning countryside views, a serene backdrop to wake up to each morning. On the second floor, the double and king-size room, also with dressing areas, enjoy a light and airy ambiance with Velux windows that open onto balconies, perfect for savouring a morning coffee. Both rooms on this floor also include en-suite facilities, adding a touch of opulence to your stay. Freshen up in the sleek family bathroom, where you can wash the day away with a quick rinse or a soothing soak, before slipping into a peaceful slumber. If you can tear yourself away, the surroundings boast a plethora of attractions to pique your interest. Lace up your hiking boots and venture to Stanley Ghyll Waterfall where you can witness a dramatic 60-foot cascade, a guaranteed picture-postcard opportunity to show your friends back home. Hop on board the Ravenglass and Eskdale Steam Railway, winding through Cumbria’s most striking vistas of lush valleys, rivers, and mountains. Immerse yourself in the past at the 2nd-century Hardknott Roman Fort or tee up at Eskdale Golf Course. Paddle along the serene waters of the River Esk by kayak, or for an adrenaline boost, dive into an exhilarating wild swimming experience. Visit the small seaside village of Seascale, steeped in history with its Grey Croft Stone Circle and you can wander along Seascale Beach with an ice-cream in hand. For a special group getaway, secure a stay at Fairfield.
The small village of Eskdale Green sits amongst beautiful Lakeland countryside and consists of a scattering of cottages, some farm dwellings and a number of outstanding traditional English pubs serving good food. An area relatively unknown to many Lakeland visitors, this great location boasts a skyline dominated by the towering peaks of Scafell - England's highest peak, as well as Great Gable, Hard Knott, Harter Fell and Muncaster Fell, whilst the nearby stunning valleys of Eskdale, Wasdale, Ennerdale and Dunnerdale provide breathtaking and ever-changing scenery to be enjoyed throughout the year. The valley is notable as being one of few major valleys in the Lake District not to have its own lake, although several tarns are perched above the valley sides. Local attractions include Muncaster Castle, the World Owl Centre and the Ravenglass to Eskdale miniature railway, one of the most beautiful train journeys imaginable. With both beautiful Wastwater - the deepest lake in the country and St Olaf's - the smallest church, amongst the many well known landmarks in this awe inspiring and beautiful area also within easy reach, this stunning location will have visitors returning time and time again.
