With 500 year old beams, separate kitchen, lounge/dining area and bathroom with gorgeous slipper bath and separate shower you can wake up to the sight of Esk Fell up above and admire your stunning surrounds without having moved your head an inch from your pillow!
Named after Wrynose Fell, which, in spite of it being in the next valley, is well renowned and has been acclaimed to hold, like Hardknott Fell, the other of the Lake District’s most outrageous mountain passes on its slopes! You will similarly be in awe of this smaller but equally supreme abode. For a one bedroom cottage, Wrynose is surprisingly spacious, so if you have a young child, baby or both in your party, Wrynose can accommodate you all. Just let us know and we can add a foldaway bed, cot or both to your booking.
Whilst the bathroom is large, the separate kitchen is compact but handsomely equipped with full gas hob, oven, fridge with freezer compartment and microwave so you can cook up all your favourite suppers in no time. We have worked around our historic features to ensure you have all your home comforts.
