The Mill

Walking distance from The Mill opens onto some of the Lake District's best ridge routes. The River Glenderamackin's waterfalls lead uphill past Bannerdale Crags toward Sharp Edge and Blencathra's summit; easier options include Swinside Valley and Bowscale Tarn. The village pub, the Mill Inn, sits within a mile. For a quieter day, the grounds have a sitting-out area, and a lawned garden with furniture for your own use.

This former corn mill, built in the 15th century and later used for timber milling, has been converted into a comfortable four-bedroom cottage that sleeps four. Ground-floor living means a living and dining room with woodburner, a kitchen with electric cooker and full facilities, two bedrooms (one double, one with two singles), and a bathroom with bath and shower. Electricity, bed linen, towels and wifi are included; logs for the burner are also provided. A cot and highchair are available if needed, and parking for two cars is on site.

The cottage sits in Mungrisdale, a quiet village in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The river runs alongside the grounds but is unfenced. No smoking is permitted inside.
