The Old Post Office is a wonderfully light and spacious self-catering cottage in the Lake District, within walking distance of the River Ehen and the family-friendly Shepherds Arms pub. There is space for twelve people to sleep in six bedrooms (there is one bathroom and a cloak room with WC/wash basin), and the comfortable accommodation and fantastic location make this the perfect place for families and friends to have a relaxing holiday in a beautiful setting.
Ennerdale Bridge is ideally located for exploring the Western Lakes and the Cumbrian Coast. While hoards of visitors flock to better-known lakes like Windermere and Bassenthwaite you can enjoy the peaceful shores of Ennerdale Water just one mile from the cottage. The lake has a wonderful sense of tranquillity as there is no public road within earshot. It is a haven not only for walkers who want to escape the noise and bustle of their daily lives but also for the birds and wildlife that live there.
One of the biggest draws of the Lake District National Park is the fantastic footpaths that make it possible to immerse yourself in the breathtaking landscape. There is a good choice of routes to suit every ability from short, flat routes around the lake to the more challenging 182-mile Coast-to-Coast footpath created by the Lake District's most beloved explorer, Alfred Wainwright. The area is also excellent for cyclings and mountain bikers.
