Overview
Property code: 89457

This converted old wash house has been furnished to a lovely standard while retaining its original features, making it the ideal spot for a romantic retreat. There are many footpaths from the cottage in all directions from picturesque Crosby Garrett village, and for supplies, Kirkby Stephen is just 4 miles east. Follow the 182-mile Coast to Coast route, venturing east into the Yorkshire Dales or west into the Lake District. Set off on two wheels or your trusty hiking boots to explore the Eden Valley, 15 miles, venture into the Great Asby Scar National Nature Reserve, 8 miles, or visit Smardale Gill Viaduct, just 1 mile away.

Climb the external stairs to the first floor and enter this romantic retreat with the whole floor open plan. The pretty lounge area is perfect to snuggle up and watch a good movie while the wood burner roars away. The kitchen/diner offers all you need to create a nice romantic meal to enjoy while sitting at the dining table with views over the valley and beyond. Head down to the ground floor (please be aware the stairs are steep) and you’ll arrive at a bedroom with a super-king-size bed and a lovely en-suite shower room.

After a busy day exploring the landscape, make the most of the shared garden area with seating and enjoy the peace with a glass in hand.

We loved our stay at the Wash House. It was immaculately clean and a delightful cottage with so much character. We had a lovely, quiet stay which was exactly what we needed. Everyone we met in the village made us so welcome. We wouldnt hesitate to stay in the Wash House again in the future if possible. .

Good quality accommodation, tasteful and thoughtfully furnished. Lovely garden and village setting. We did however find the bedroom to be damp and there were many happy woodlice sharing our space. This may be less of a problem in winter when you would be using the heating. Beautiful countryside, the cottage is very rural, the lanes are narrow and tRead morehere's fords to cross, so it helps to be a confident driver. It lacks a smart T.V so viewing is limited. Wonderful walks from the doorstep. Hide

The cottage was lovely and clean and had everything we needed for a relaxing week in Cumbria. The super king bed was very comfortable and a real joy to fall into after a day walking in the hills. The location is quite rural which was perfect for us, we would definitely stay in this cosy little cottage again.
