Kirkbank

Set in the peaceful village of Eskdale Green close to the Cumbrian coast, this traditional stone cottage has been beautifully renovated to offer a stylish and contemporary holiday home. Sleeping up to eight people in four spacious bedrooms, this stunning property offers a number of luxurious extras, such as an outdoor bathtub, a grand piano, underfloor heating and hi spec gadgets.

Set in glorious Lakeland countryside, it s a haven for outdoor enthusiasts, with walking, climbing, cycling and wildlife spotting opportunities all around. But you ll be equally happy to return to this delightful property at the end of the day to socialise and relax.

The traditional look of this cottage belies its contemporary interiors, though you ll get a taste of its stylish decor when you approach the substantial solid oak doorway with its stained glass panel. The open plan lounge/diner is light, airy and relaxing with panoramic country views from five windows, as well as a beautiful stained glass window.

Sink into the cosy seating to watch TV on the 3D UHD TV with a sound bar or to listen to the Kawai RX3 professional grand piano if one of your group is musical, or gather around the dining table for a meal with a view. A double sided wood burner links the living room with the elegant and beautifully equipped kitchen.

With changeable surround ceiling lights, an induction hob, a built in oven, and a boiling water tap among its many features, the kitchen is a pleasure to cook in, and a lovely spot to gather to chat over pre dinner drinks with the double doors open to the patio. The garden offers another delightful socialising space, with a BBQ, a fire pit and outdoor seating, and several seats where you can enjoy a morning cuppa or evening drink to a soundtrack of birdsong.
