About this property
Coastal Cottage is a charming bungalow settled in the village of Seascale, Cumbria. Resting close to the Lake District National Park, the cottage is a great base for a family of four to enjoy the best of coast and country, with off-road parking, an enclosed patio garden, and ground-floor living. Be welcomed into the open-plan living space with a well-equipped, contemporary kitchen to rustle up evening meals, dine at the table or breakfast bar, and settle into the sofa after busy days to watch the Smart TV. The patio doors open onto your private, enclosed patio to dine alfresco by the fire pit and relax in the sun with a good book in hand.
Completing the property are two homely bedrooms, a king-size and a twin, along with a stylish, Jack-and-Jill bathroom to freshen up in the bath or shower over whilst your towel warms on the heated rail. Start your holiday by exploring Seascale where you can dine at the Calder House Hotel, stop for a treat at Mawson's Ice Cream Parlour, and play a game or two at Seascale Golf Club. The beautiful Seascale Beach is a popular, sandy beach for crabbing and rock pools, walking, and the nearby children's park. Along the coast you'll also find Drigg Sand Dunes & Beach, Ravenglass for the family-friendly Ravenglass & Eskdale Railway and Roman Bath House, and Saint Bees Head Heritage Coast for coastal walks and birdwatching.
Be sure to pack your walking boots and venture into the Lake District National Park with plenty of spectacular scenery to discover. Stop off in Eskdale to visit the Stanley Ghyll Waterfall and Hardknott Roman Fort, whilst Wasdale Head has a selection of hikes to choose from up Pillar, Great Gable, and the Lakeland's highest peak, Scafell Pike. Wast Water is also close by for scenic walks and watersports such as swimming, paddleboarding and canoeing. Discover Cumbria's unforgettable coast and countryside on your next family adventure at Coastal Cottage.
The Furness Railway made Seascale a popular Victorian holiday destination in the 1850s. Seascale's Victorian charm and coastal rail links remain today. Ravenglass is home to "L'al Ratty," a narrow gauge steam railway that runs daily through some of Britain's most scenic countryside. Muncaster Castle, with magnificent gardens and views of Scafell Pike, is minutes from Ravenglass and easily accessible by bike. This great location boasts towering peaks including England's highest peak, Scafell, and the nearby stunning valleys of Eskdale, Wasdale, and Dunnerdale. Great for exploring the coast and mountains.

Every night we had a great nights sleep as the area around the city is so quiet. The village of Seascale is so friendly everyone says hello. The Calder House Hotel which is along from the train station has a great beer garden view over the sea. The Windscale Club which is just around the corner has pop up food vans pizza on a Wednesday waffles on a Friday and gourmet burgers on a Saturday. We used the train to explore the area which is not expensive. If you have not been to this area of Cumbria before you are missing out on a true gem as the varied landscape of coat and hills is breathtaking.
