Whillan Beck Cottage

A delicate one bedroom cottage, self catering Eskdale, bordered by the river and nestled beneath the mountains perfect for couples. Yes this is the cottage behind the bridge!

Only a few metres away from the gushing Whillan Beck and the sixteenth century packhorse bridge that crosses it, if you love to wake to the sound of the stream and running water, then this cottage is the one for you! Jump out of bed and head straight over the bridge for a morning hike up the fells without encountering a single soul. In contrast, head out the other direction in the evening and find yourself at one of the local village inns for a pint and why not try your hand at the local pub quiz!

Whillan Beck Cottage has undergone a transformation through time; it was once a stable, then a wool shed, before it became an office, and now it is a cosy cottage! The smallest of our one bedroom Lake District cottages, yet with easy access to the river and the fells, this is a first-class choice for your upcoming enchanting weekend away.

Accommodation Summary:

Ground floor: combined kitchen/diner/lounge

First floor: 1 double bedroom with kingsize bed, 1 bathroom with bath and over bath shower

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!
