Property code: SZ293

Close to the Cumbrian coast, this stunning holiday home offers a range of luxurious extras, perfect for couples, friends and families looking for a tranquil retreat in glorious Lakeland surroundings.

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. Treat yourself to a dip in the outdoor tub (which has space for two people) before bed, and don’t be alarmed if you see slow worms – they live in the garden and look a little like snakes, though are in fact harmless legless lizards. At the end of the day, get a restful night’s sleep in the four uniquely designed bedrooms. The Industrial room, Bell room and Scandinavian room are up the open-tread glass-and-oak staircase, along with a bathroom and a shower room. The Garden room is in the annexe, with valley views, patio doors and an en-suite shower room.

We were really pleased with Kirkbank as a base for our holiday in Eskdale. Rarely have we encountered a self catering cottage with such a well equipped and organised kitchen (including sharp knives!). We appreciated the attention to quality (especially beds, bedding, bathrooms, lighting) and also the artistic flair of the interior design.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Kirkbank. The property has been upgraded in a very tasteful way. There is a good amount of living space and we had a group of 8 at the house. Highly recommend the Bower House Inn just down the road for a beer or evening meal as well. We would gladly come back to Kirkbank again.

This cottage is certainly a little gem, it is not cheap but Everything was provided and facilities are exceptional and is in the perfect place for walking or catching the train.
