Self-Catering Holiday Cottages in the Lake District
Self-Catering Holiday Cottages in the Lake District www.sallyscottages.co.uk 017687 79445 Photo: Brian Sherwen Dear holidaymakers When we started Sally’s Cottages in 2005, we had no idea that a few short years down the line we’d have so many lovely cottages and wonderful houses, a brochure and a huge website. Most of our cottages are owned, cleaned and maintained by local farmers and friends whose families have lived in the area for generations. We like to have a mixture of old and new cottages, modern and traditional interiors, town and rural, small and country estate, to make sure we’ve covered all tastes. The thing they have in common is that they are all situated in western and northern Cumbria, with fabulous views, mountains and lakes nearby. It’s quite literally the case that there are more sheep than people in Cumbria – or at least it is off-season! During the summer, the central Lakes, whilst beautiful, can be heaving with people. Keswick can also be busy, it’s true, but Eskdale, Wasdale, Ennerdale, the coast and Ullswater are always quieter, and in some valleys, it’s quite possible to feel you have the place to yourself. Some of the most spectacular scenery in the area is right here. Wasdale famously has England’s highest mountain (Scafell Pike), deepest lake (Wastwater), and smallest church (St. Olaf’s). We also have some wonderful stone circles in matchless locations too numerous to list, but Castlerigg, near Keswick and Swinside, near Duddon Bridge must be the best. Cumbria’s highest waterfall, Scale Force, is near Crummock Water in the northwest of the county. Wordsworth walked here, and wrote about it; Coleridge gossiped about Buttermere in the national press; Beatrix Potter owned land and cottages here. In short, we like to think that the western and northern Lakes have all the advantages of the popular central Lake District hotspots, without the traffic jams! As an Eskdale girl myself, I can’t believe that there is any more beautiful spot in the world. Come and join us!

You can hike from the valley bottom to the summit of the highest peak in England, walk over the high fells, or trace the sinister old coffin route to Wasdale. Great Moss, at the top of the Eskdale, is a stunning open valley surrounded by some of the highest mountains in the country, Scafell Pike, Esk Hause and Bowfell. Stanley Ghyll Force is a dramatic 60ft waterfall in a deep gorge; the river Esk has natural pools for swimming, and is popular with canoeists and fishermen alike. The valley has two small villages, Boot and Eskdale and five pubs. The Boot Inn has a lovely restaurant; the Brook House Inn at Boot has 4 AA stars and they jointly host a beer festival in June. The George IV offers over 200 malt whiskies, and the Bower House Inn offers great food in Eskdale village, next to the cricket ground and in lovely gardens. The Woolpack Inn has its own micro-brewery. The Ravenglass & Eskdale miniature steam railway, affectionately known as ‘L’aal Ratty’, runs 7 miles from Dalegarth at Boot to Ravenglass on the coast. The Eskdale Cycle Trail runs alongside the track. The valley road culminates in one of the most difficult drives in the country, at Hard Knott Pass. Here, you can view the remains of Hard Knott Roman fort, and see all the way down this beautiful valley and out to the Irish Sea beyond. Wha House Farm Cottage Sally’s Cottages – Eskdale Wha House Cottage is perfect for couples and walking friends looking for a real get-away-from-it-all holiday. This one-floor cottage is situated on a sheep farm in Upper Eskdale, close to England’s highest mountain, Scafell Pike. A good hike from your door will get you to Wasdale and Wastwater, England’s deepest lake, and there are gentler walks along the River Esk. The nearest pub, the Woolpack Inn, is just half a mile away. Riders are welcome to bring one horse to be stabled in the adjoining farm.

The Romans found a Celtic settlement here and decided that its safe harbour made it an excellent place to build their fort, Glannoventa, at the foot of the road which travels on over Hard Knott Pass to their fort at Galava (Ambleside) and beyond. The fort at Ravenglass is long gone, but you can still see the remains of the Roman bathhouse. Centuries on, the main industry in western Lakeland was mining. A narrow gauge railway line was built in 1875 to transport iron ore from Eskdale to ships in Ravenglass, and on around the world. The Ravenglass & Eskdale Railway, affectionately known as ‘L’aal Ratty’, runs little steam trains from Ravenglass to Muncaster Mill, Irton Road and The Green in Eskdale village, to Beckfoot and Dalegarth at the village of Boot. There are lots of walks to be enjoyed at all these stops, or you can hire bikes at Ravenglass station and set off on the Eskdale Cycle Trail, which follows the route of the railway. Ravenglass is also at the foot of the Hadrian’s Way cycleway, a 174 mile route which goes all the way to South Shields on the eastern coast. The spectacular Muncaster Castle is a mile from Ravenglass. Built in the 14th century, the castle has a pele tower, an octagonal library and extensive grounds. The castle hosts ghost hunts and is wellknown for its Festival of Fools, held in May each year. It is also home to the World Owl Trust, where you can visit up to 48 different types of owl. Ravenglass is also a convenient base for exploring Wasdale, home to England’s highest mountain (Scafell Pike), deepest lake (Wastwater) and smallest church (St. Olaf’s).

Famously home to England’s highest mountain, Scafell Pike, and deepest lake, Wastwater, Wasdale stretches 12 miles from Wasdale Head to Gosforth near the coast. The valley is only lightly populated, and there has been little modern development. Scafell’s main crag producing some of the most demanding climbing in the Lake District. Wastwater is three miles long, half a mile wide and 260 feet deep, making it the deepest of all the lakes. The lake is a popular spot for kayaking, canoeing, rowing and swimming. It’s a great lake to dive and rumours abound that the local diving clubs have placed ‘teams’ of gnomes on the lake bed! There are many bridlepaths that also allow mountain bikes, including the popular and very difficult routes at Blacksail Pass, Styhead Pass and Burnmoor Tarn. The scenery is striking, with screes (composed of masses of small, loose stones) that appear to climb straight out of lake, to a height of almost 200 feet. On the other side of the valley are the great mountains of Yewbarrow, Seatallan, Kirk Fell, Great Gable, Green Gable and Scafell Pike. As befits the home of the highest climb in England, Wasdale claims to be the birthplace of British climbing, with Wasdale also boasts England’s smallest church, St. Olaf’s, built with roof beams said to have come from Viking ships. There are three pubs in the valley, the Wasdale Head Inn, The Screes Inn and Strand Hotel. Just beyond bottom of the valley is the Santon Bridge Inn, the perfect place to tell the most whopping lie you’ve ever told in your life: they host the annual ‘World’s Biggest Liar’ competition! Burnthwaite Farm Cottage Once upon a time, Cumbria was scattered with small, single-storey, white-washed farm cottages like this. Burnthwaite farm is picture-postcard pretty, with dry stone walls outside and mountains soaring behind: the perfect place to get away from it all. Indeed, such is Burnthwaite’s splendid position in Wasdale Head that it isn’t within reach of TV or phone masts, so there is no TV or mobile phone reception; the ideal place to get away from the hubbub of working life!

Most of the buildings now standing are Georgian, with a peppering of older buildings, including the 300-year-old Old King’s Head pub. The church of St. Mary Magdalene is of Saxon foundation, with some Norman parts, a grand 18th century clock tower and Victorian additions. The nearby village of Duddon Bridge is home to one of Cumbria’s many stone circles, Swinside. 51 stones still stand in a 90ft diameter circle, with fabulous views all around. The Duddon Valley follows the River Duddon towards Wrynose Pass and the central Lake District. It has been popular with walkers since Wordsworth’s time, with access to Coniston Old Man, Scafell Pike, Dow Crag, Harter Fell, Craw and Greyfriar. There are gentler walks at Wallabarrow Woods, well known for rare native flowers and plants, or climbers can find a challenge at Wallabarrow Crag. The Duddon Valley is also popular with canoeists, with excellent rapids and different grades of difficulty along the river. Seathwaite Tarn, in the Seathwaite Fells, is the third largest in the Lake District, and sits at 1200ft above sea level. Fishing is popular in the area; licences for the tarn are available at the Newfield Inn and river licences can be bought at the village shop in Ulpha.

It’s a place of seclusion and tranquillity at the westernmost edge of the Lakes, and the only lake to have no road running alongside it. Officially designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest, Ennerdale has a unique ‘prehistoric’ fish, the Arctic char, many rare plants and ancient woodland with rare mosses, lichens and ferns. It’s also a good place to spot our indigenous red squirrel. Given the lack of roads, it’s no surprise that the valley is sparsely populated. It has a village, Ennerdale Bridge, which has a church and two excellent pubs both serving good food and real ale. A short distance from the village is Kinniside stone circle, a prehistoric monument comprising eleven stones. There are walks to suit all tastes, from gentle strolls along the lake’s edge to mountain hikes with wonderful views of Ennerdale Water and Buttermere. Wainwright’s famous Coast-to-Coast walk goes right through the village. The area is justly famed for its climbing. Pillar Rock, on the north face of Pillar Mountain, was one of the first routes mapped out by rock climbing pioneers and is popular with climbers of all skill levels. There are a number of marked mountainbike trails in the area and Ennerdale is at the end of the West Cumbria Cycle Path, a ten-mile route from Whitehaven. Bradley’s Riding Centre, near Kinniside, offers ponytrekking for all abilities and ages. Ennerdale is a good base for exploring the nearby market towns of Cockermouth, Whitehaven and Keswick, all offering a wealth of shops, pubs, cafes, restaurants, museums and other attractions. In a county full of stunning locations, Far Moor End still has plenty to shout about. Idyllically located in 22 acres of private grounds within the Lake District National Park, Far Moor End includes 15 acres of woodlands, a wildflower meadow, three ponds and a long frontage on the River Ehen (itself a Site of Special Scientific Interest), so it’s no surprise that our native red squirrel is still quite at home here. Far Moor End is a mile from the Shepherd’s Arms pub and a few minutes’ walk from Ennerdale Water, with Cockermouth, Wordsworth’s birthplace, and Whitehaven, the historic port, a short drive away. Keswick is half an hour away. The accommodation comprises the main house to sleep ten people and a barn conversion for six. The main entertainment area for house and barn is the spectacular, open plan sitting and dining area in the barn, where there is a large dining table and sofas to seat the entire party of sixteen.

The rush and hubbub of the central Lake District seems a long way from here. Photo: Brian Sherwen email: [email protected] or visit www.sallyscottages.co.uk Loweswater, like Crummock Water, is wholly owned by the National Trust. There’s an easy walk along the lake towards Holme Wood and Holme Force waterfalls, where there’s a good chance you’ll spot our indigenous red squirrel. West of Loweswater is Mockerkin Tarn, legendary site of the Cumbrian King Mockerkin’s palace. Set among rolling hills and lush pasture, the tarn is transformed in summer by a riot of white and yellow waterlilies. Towards the end of Crummock Water is the Lake District’s highest waterfall, Scale Force, crashing 170ft through a narrow, wooded ravine. Crummock Water feeds into Buttermere, a popular site with an easy 4½ mile lakeside walk. The views Buttermere is famous for the 18th century story of ‘The ‘Maid of Buttermere’. Mary Robinson, a local beauty, unwittingly married a bigamist and fraudster. Her tale was reported by the poet Coleridge in the national press. Before long, she found herself added to the tourist trail as visitors flocked to the Fish Inn, where she was a barmaid, to see if she was as beautiful as people said! Loweswater village is home to the Kirkstile Inn, our regional CAMRA Pub of the Year 2009. It serves traditional food using local produce, and showcases local beers in a cracking beer festival each April.

William Wordsworth penned his most popular lines when he visited Ullswater in April, 1802. Given its proximity to the main road these days, you’d think it would be roaringly busy, but no; Ullswater is a calm place, rarely overrun with visitors. The lake itself is 7½ miles long, and deep, too, with the soaring fells of High Street on its eastern side. No trip would be complete without a trip on the famous Ullswater Steamer or a visit to Aira Force, a 70ft waterfall on the western shore. The area is rich in prehistoric sites, with stone circles at Cock Pit, on Barton Fell, at Moor Divock and Swarth Fell. There are a couple of Iron Age forts here, and we mustn’t forget that the High Street range of mountains actually recalls Ullswater is blessed with one of the best places to eat in the country – Sharrow Bay Hotel. Based in a Victorian mansion on the lake’s edge, a meal here is a bit of an investment, but well worth it for a serious treat! W Ullswater is an excellent base for trips into the busier parts of the Lakes, around Ambleside, Grasmere and Windermere. It’s also convenient for the lesser-known attractions of the Eden Valley and Penrith with its individual shops, ruined castle and ‘Giant’s Grave’. Gate Cottage Sally’s Cottages – Ullswater Gate Cottage is a beautifully-appointed place with high, beamed ceilings, a fantastic kitchen, charming bedrooms and spacious, modern bathroom – what more could you ask for?

If there are any material changes to the Holiday Accommodation which are made after the date of the Booking Enquiry the Company will make the Hirer aware of any material changes as soon as reasonably possible after the Company becomes aware of them. Occasionally the exteriors, furniture, furnishings and room layouts of the Holiday Accommodation may differ from the photographs on the Website. 6.2 Maintenance Grass cutting, gardening, window cleaning and maintenance works etc may from time to time be carried out by or on behalf of the Owner during the Hire Period, however where possible the Owner will try to accommodate the Hirer’s reasonable requirements if they are aware of them and will try to carry out all such works with the least disruption to the Hirer and the Party as far as reasonably possible. 6.3 Old Cottages If the Holiday Accommodation is an old cottage then it may be prone to damp patches during wet or humid weather, and prone to condensation on walls. These problems can be alleviated by ventilating the property. However, as a general rule elderly, young, or those sensitive to humidity and damp should avoid such cottages especially in the wettest periods (e.g. winter and early spring). Please note also that old cottages can be prone to uneven floors. 6.4 Private Water Supply Some of the cottages have a private water supply. Where this is the case, the supply is filtered and checked by the council but we recommend that the Hirer boils water before drinking it or uses bottled water. 6.5 Cots and High Chairs Not all Holiday Accommodation will have a cot and high chair available to use during the Hire Period. The Hirer should check the availability of a cot and high chair at the Holiday Accommodation at the time of the Booking Enquiry and should confirm at the time of the Booking Enquiry whether they will be required during the Hire Period.

If the Hirer is unable to contact the Owner then the Hirer should contact the Company as soon as reasonably possible. This will allow the Owner time to consider the complaint and if possible and reasonable, will allow the Owner to take action it reasonably can to rectify the problem. If the Owner is satisfied that the problem cannot be rectified it may, at its discretion, offer the Hirer a refund of all or part of the Price. 7.2 If the Hirer does not raise any complaint which it may have during the Hire Period, the Owner shall not, except in limited circumstances, consider any and all complaints the Hirer raises after the Hire Period has come to an end. 8 Limitation of Liability- THE HIRER’S ATTENTION IS PARTICULARLY DRAWN TO THIS CONDITION 8.1 This condition sets out the entire financial liability of the Company (including any liability for the acts or omissions of its employees) to the Hirer in respect of: 8.1.1 any breach of these Conditions; 8.1.2 the hire of the Holiday Accommodation by the Hirer and the Party; and 8.1.3 any representation, statement or tortious act or omission (including negligence) arising under or in connection with this agreement. 8.2 All warranties, conditions and other terms implied by statute or common law are, to the fullest extent permitted by law, excluded from the Contract and these Conditions. 8.3 Nothing in these Conditions limits or excludes the liability of the Company: 8.3.1 for death or personal injury resulting from the negligence of the Company; or 8.3.2 for any damage or liability incurred by the Hirer as a result of fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation by the Company. 8.4 The Company does make every effort to update the descriptions on its Website for any material changes made to the Holiday Accommodation, however the Company shall not be held responsible for any minor discrepancies in the Holiday Accommodation from the descriptions on its Website, or any changes made to the Holiday Accommodation by the Owner after the date of the Booking Enquiry.

GS 8/9 January To book, please ring 017687 79445 Week 2010 Sally’s Cottages Most cottages take a winter weekend break from November through to Easter (see winter weekend prices - up to three nights) but please ask first as the occasional one doesn’t. Some cottages (particularly the larger ones) offer weekend breaks throughout the year (with the possible exception of school holidays). The weekend rate is generally worked out as 75% of the weekly rate. Some cottages offer a split pricing system whereby a discount is offered if there are only a certain number (usually 2) of you using the property. A damage deposit is requested at some of the cottages, particularly the ones sleeping 8 or more people. This is returned within a fortnight of your stay (assuming, of course, that no damage has occurred). Where cottages accept a pet, there is an additional charge of £15 per dog. We ask for a deposit of around a third upon booking with the balance being due six weeks in advance. You can pay by cheque made payable to Sally Ltd or call us with your card details. There is no charge for cheque or debit card, but a 2.5% fee for a credit card payment. Errors and omissions excepted. 12501275 51 Sally’s Cottages For further information or to make a booking please visit our website www.sallyscottages.co.uk email [email protected] or telephone 017687 79445.
