    lovely, well maintained and exactly as described. very spacious. we used the reservable pool once and it was quite nice, could do with a bit more space for changing. Definitely use the provided w3w location as the address is not quite right on...

The Graythwaite Estate is family-run and spans some 5,000 acres of land, nestled in the beautiful English Lake District. It is home to the Sandys family who have lived at the Estate for over 500 years, since the first Graythwaite Hall was built.

Property information

Eel House cottage is located along the stunning rural road which takes you up to Esthwaite Water from the Estate. Enveloped in rolling green fields with lambs and forestry, the property offers you the chance to get away from the buzz of the city life and experience true silence and serenity in the great countryside. The Cottage offers two bedrooms upstairs, with the Master having its own en-suite with walk-in shower, and a twin looking out across the fields and beyond. Downstairs is the living room with smart TV and log burning stove to curl up after a long day out exploring, with the kitchen and dining area just in the next room. Sit back and relax in our woodland inspired cottage after a long day on the fells in front of a crackling log fire. ****PLEASE NOTE - SWIMMING POOL NOT LOCATED WITHIN PROPERTY******* It is a shared facility on the estate based at Home Farm Courtyard, a short drive from the property.
