“So good I immediately booked a return visit”

Response from the manager Thank you for your lovely review. It sounds like you thoroughly explored our special part of the Lakes and we are delighted that you found the cottage comfortable and homely. The Whillan Beck is a lovely feature and we do, as you suggest, ask parents to supervise children at all times. The river flows quickly after heavy rain but goes back to a bubbling beck very quickly and our picnic spot by the river is always popular with guests. Thank you from the team at the cottages.

“Couldn't have chosen a better location and accommodation for our stay in the Lake District”
We rented this cottage at a time when Cumbria was experiencing the worst floods so we were concerned but received reassurance and carried on with our plans. We are extremely glad we did not miss the opportunity to experience the charming atmosphere of the spacious cottage and the beauty of Eskdale area. We traveled with two small children and grandparents to spend Christmas holidays in the Lake District and we found it very easy to reach points of interest and find activities for all of us. Attractions are very close: the Hardknott Pass, Eskdale Rail, all kinds of walks and even a historic Mill and Church. We even discovered a beautiful waterfall a short and medium walk away. The rain did not hamper our adventures. We were able to drive to Windermere, Grassmere and Keswick and the distances were just right with two restless children. We all enjoyed the Safari Zoo, some sea side towns, mountains and lots of water. In fact, we thought the wet weather made it all more beautiful. The cottage was well supplied, clean and conveniently located in a walking distance to two great pubs but remote, at the same time. We got more than we hoped for.

“Cosy cottage with all our needs catered for”
Stayed here for a week as part of my 70th birthday celebrations with my family. The cottage catered for all our needs, both young and old, and I wished that I could have stayed longer. It was so cosy yet spacious inside with a fabulous choice of bedrooms and bathrooms, we felt spoilt for choice. The cottage is in a wonderful location and is served by a couple of local inns which served delicious food, and just down the road is a wonderful steam railway where we spent a fabulous day travelling up and down the railway track. Would really recommend this cottage and area for a fantastic break in the Lake District, and can not wait to hopefully return one day.

“Even more fantastic fun in Eskdale”
Wastwater Cottage was rented for a week after Christmas and for the New Year with friends staying in adjacent cottages (three families of 2+2). We spoke to Greg about how we would manage to get 12 of us in the accommodation ....he bent over backwards to help and ensure that we had the best deal for us all. We had such a great time. Whilst the weather was wet, we were able to get up onto the beautiful fells and have some quality walks in Eskdale Valley and adjacent Wasdale. The cottage itself was deceptively spacious and we used this as the central place for meals, kids playing and post-walk teas....and G&Ts! We stayed when the weather was arguably at its worst and when many parts of the Lake District were flooded or on flood alert; we had absolutely no issues despite being next to the river and a mill. We have stayed in the other large cottage here before plus the farmhouse and will be coming back here again. It is just so great and there is literally nothing else that you need to bring; there is good washing facilities and places to put muddy boots. I would thoroughly recommend this beautiful setting for future holidays on your own or with family. Lucy, Nick, Jess, Alex, Sarah, John, Oiefa, Amelia, Toy, Justin, Josh and Toby thank you very much for making our stay fantastic....Happy New Year.

“A beautiful cottage in a fabulous location”
We stayed in Wastwater cottage towards the end of the summer season and everything was just perfect! The bathrooms have been beautifully renovated to add a little modern touch to the converted barn. … More
