The Old House is a dream Lake District getaway. Sleeping up to eight people in five bedrooms, it offers fantastic accommodation for families and friends in the only coastal settlement in the Lake District National Park. Dating back some 250 years, the house is in the quiet village of Bootle, just a few miles from Ravenglass and within walking distance of the village shop, cafe/pub and bike hire shop.
Whilst the Lake District is well known for it's majestic mountains and beautiful lakes, visitors often don't realise that the National Park extends to the west coast. The small village of Ravenglass, which sits where the Rivers Irt, Mite and Esk meet, is a beautifully peaceful spot. Its coastal and riverside location made it a key Roman naval base. You can still explore the remains of the Roman bathhouse, one of the tallest surviving Roman structures in northern Britain. Looking almost modern by comparison is the Victorian Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway. Whilst the steam train was once used to transport iron ore and copper, it is now a firm favourite with train enthusiasts and families alike. It's hard not to be enticed by the charm of the narrow gauge railway as it travels through miles of stunning scenery.
The scale of the landscape is astounding, with moorland, fells, and mountains all around. Energetic visitors will relish the challenge of scaling Scafell Pike, England's highest peak, but even a gentle stroll around Wast Water will take your breath away with incredible views for all seasons. If you prefer to explore the area on two wheels there are miles and miles of excellent mountin biking routes. Alternatively, enjoy a horse ride or rent a boat. The infamous Munster Castle is also nearby, where you can explore the haunted castle, visit the birds of prey sanctuary and spend a lazy afternoon meandering through the lovely gardens .
The Old House is a real home from home. The furnishings are comfortable without being precious, and the layout allows guests to either spend quality time together or find a quiet corner where you can enjoy a peaceful read in front of the fireplace or in the garden. It is especially popular with large or extended families and groups of friends.
