Self Catering in Cumbria - Santon Bridge

Great location. Some specific comments.
Lovely spot for visiting the Western Fells. Nice house which had just been carefully and nicely redecorated, with a welcoming bottle of wine, good wifi and nice (muddy) woods for the kids to run around in. However, there were a lot of niggling things: Kitchen - no oven gloves, scales, measuring jug. Limited space to put own food. Bedrooms: the only clothes space was wardrobes - nothing to just put stuff on/in & no plug next to the mirror (made hair drying/hairstyles more interesting). Downstairs: No coat rack in hallway. There was an airer but limited space for drying wet walking gear. Heating: The front room wood pellet burner (not to be confused with a wood burning stove) was very noisy as it has a permanent electric fan running although we may just have not got the settings right. Storage heaters throughout the house. General: Only one bin in house. There were no functions at the next door Irton Hall while we were there, although this appears to be a significant bit of their business. Would imagine this would significantly disrupt the peace.

A gorgeous cottage in a fabulous location. Being on site at the hotel was such an advantage as the staff there were so friendly and the restaurant food, breakfasts and dinner, were great. Lovely, we will go back.

The cottage was in a lovely setting and was very reasonably priced. We loved the sound and sight of the peacocks in the grounds.

The location. The scenery in the area was spectacular. Good area for walking and plenty to do e.g. the Ratty Railway

James Court Cottage
A well equipped, clean cottage ideally placed for easy access to Wasdale Head. The cottage is situated within the grounds of Irton Hall Hotel where one can enjoy the excellent bar meals and real ale, they also had free wi-fi. James Court Cottage is surrounded by other cottages, some privately owned. The Santon Bridge Inn is within walking distance, but we preferred the food in the hotel bar. The only problem during our stay was a lack of towels which was quickly rectified by contacting the owner. A great place from which to explore this remote corner of the Lake District.
