On the first floor there is an ensuite king sized bedroom, a double and a twin. There is also a family bathroom which bath and separate shower.
On the second floor there are a further two bedrooms, each with twin beds. Please note that the stairs to these rooms go straight to the first twin room and so access to the second room is through the first one.
Outside there is a patio area which faces South - perfect for an evening drinks & barbeques. The garden to the back is steep with some terracing.
Eskdale is a wonderful starting point for 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 fishing. The famous Ravenglass & Eskdale Miniature Railway (link) runs along the valley, its steam trains making the leisurely seven-mile journey down to the sea, and can be seen from the house. Irton Road station is just a five minute walk away.
There are five pubs in the valley, all welcoming children and serving real ales and a wide choice of good food. The nearest, the Bower House Inn is a ten minute walk away. The village shop and post office is also a ten minute walk up the road and sells a comprehensive range of goods, including groceries, fresh fruit and vegetables, food to go, alcohol and newspapers. There is reception for mobile phones on the Orange network.
