UpFrontReviewsRead reviews — Stanley Ghyll Cottage

Stanley Ghyll Cottage

Picturesque and private detached one bedroom Eskdale cottage, with a recently renovated marble shower room, plus a new kitchen installed in 2018. The perfect cottage for couples.

Lake District Cottages 4 and 5 star rated

Named after the Stanley Ghyll 60ft waterfall, a pleasant walk from Bridge End Farm, in like manner, this cottage is a unique feature of the Western Lakes with very few detached cottages for two. Slightly secluded, in the village of Boot, Stanley Ghyll is a favourite of many of our guests, many of whom come back for their holiday year in, year out, some even twice a year, to experience the striking contrast in Lake District scenery between the seasons! Stanley Ghyll Cottage also has a ground floor bedroom and bathroom, making it suitable for disabled guests or those with limited mobility.

Stanley Ghyll is a Dog Friendly Cottage

One well behaved dog is welcome in Stanley Ghyll Cottage – view rules/prices.

The cottage has a large, light downstairs entrance and an unexpected upstairs snug complete with new sofa. This room was formerly the bothy or workroom of Arthur Irving, a previous owner who was renowned for his craftsmanship and for carving beautiful wooden walking sticks with handles shaped from rams’ horns. The downstairs bedroom has a kingsize bed nestled beneath the beams. The exquisite marble shower room has a large walk in shower cubicle, basin and toilet. A stunning new kitchen has also just been fitted in early 2018, so come and be one of the first to use it!

Adjacent to the cottage is a very pretty, peaceful walled garden with marvellous fell views, in which you can enjoy afternoon tea with homemade cake from the Eskdale Stores or an evening BBQ with Woodall’s range of Cumberland Sausages, the Queen’s suppliers! 

Accommodation Summary:

Ground floor: brand new kitchen in early 2018 combined with dining area, one step down to 1 double bedroom with kingsize bed and marble shower room recently installed. The ground floor facilities in this cottage make it ideal for guests who may have limited mobility.

First floor: upstairs snug with new sofa, flat screen TV and fell views.

Excellent & Restorative Stay

I think this is our 7th trip up to Boot and Bridge End. That should tell you something. Nothing to complain about, everything to praise. Location, property, customer service and the pubs so conveniently positioned. Yes we will be back!
