Eskdale Cottages

If you wish to follow in the steps of Alfred Wainwright, Cumbria's most famous fell walker, then this is the area to do so. With Scafell, England's highest mountain located close to Eskdale, this area is a veritable playground for outdoor enthusiasts. Walking, rambling and hiking are the main pursuits, but if you wish for something a little less energetic, head out to the nearby towns of Keswick or Ravenglass for some shopping. The newly opened Eskdale cycle trails make exploring the valley by bike much easier, as the steam railway La'al Ratty winds up the valley with handy bike carriers, so you can happily leave your car behind. Keep an eye out for a glimpse of the elusive Osprey who are making a welcome return to the area, thanks to huge conservation efforts. Why not book a cottage with a hot tub, the perfect way to soothe tired limbs after a day of exploration? Our Eskdale cottages cater for all tastes and budgets. From dog-friendly to family-friendly, we've got a cottage just for you.
