Ennerdale, located in the picturesque region of Cumbria in the North of England, offers a charming cottage that accommodates up to ten guests. This delightful retreat is ideally situated near the serene Ennerdale Water, just two miles away, where visitors can enjoy scenic waterside walks while observing a diverse range of rare wildlife, including red squirrels. The surrounding Ennerdale Valley presents numerous hiking opportunities, with notable peaks such as Pillar, Steeple, High Stile, Great Borne, and Red Pike, each offering rewarding views and the chance to indulge in a summit picnic before descending to local pubs for a hearty meal.
Upon arrival at the inviting cottage, guests are welcomed into a warm and well-equipped kitchen featuring underfloor heating. This culinary space includes a large electric oven, a seven-ring gas hob, a microwave, a generous fridge/freezer, and a dishwasher, ensuring that meal preparation is a breeze. The charming breakfast table, adorned with exposed beams and brickwork, provides a cozy spot to enjoy morning coffee, while a boot room equipped with a washing machine and tumble dryer allows for easy cleanup after outdoor adventures. Communal meals can be enjoyed at the dining table in the lounge/diner, which boasts verdant views, and evenings can be spent relaxing on the sofas by the wood burner, or enjoying entertainment on the Smart TV.
The cottage features five comfortable bedrooms, accommodating a variety of guest needs. The ground floor includes the Dent bedroom, a double room with an ornamental fireplace and an en suite shower room, perfect for guests with limited mobility. The first floor hosts two additional double bedrooms, Crag and Pillar, both with en suite shower rooms and lovely views, alongside two versatile bedrooms, Herdus and Grike, which can be configured as super king-size or twin beds. Herdus has its own small en suite, while Grike shares access to the family bathroom. Guests should be mindful of the sloping ceilings in the upper rooms, adding a touch of character to the cottage.
Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the expansive acre of field behind the cottage, ideal for children and dogs to play freely. The landscaped garden area is unenclosed, encouraging guests to supervise their pets and little ones while enjoying a drink on the patio. For those bringing bicycles, secure storage can be arranged with the on-site owners, who reside in a separate property.
