The Neighborhood:
Nestled in the heart of one of the Lake Districtâs most scenic valleys, your cottage sits in Boot, a charming rural village in Eskdale, Cumbria. Surrounded by dramatic fells and winding rivers, this area is ideal for guests seeking peace, nature, and authentic Lakeland life. Boot itself is a small settlement of traditional stone cottages and countryside pubs â perfect for a relaxed stroll before dinner. Just minutes away on foot youâll find the 17th-century packhorse bridge, the historic Eskdale Mill with its working waterwheels, and the quaint Whillan Beck stream â all with views straight out of Lake District postcards.
Locals and visitors alike love Boot for its two classic pubs, picturesque walking trails, and proximity to natural gems like Stanley Ghyll Force waterfall and the River Esk banks. Itâs serene, scenic, and a perfect base to explore both quiet valley routes and more challenging fell walk
Getting Around:
Getting around is easy on foot within Boot, as local pubs, walking trails, riverside paths, and Dalegarth Station on the Ravenglass & Eskdale steam railway are all within a short walk. The area is ideal for walkers, with many scenic routes starting directly from the village. A car is recommended for exploring the wider Lake District, as Eskdale is rural and public transport is limited, and the surrounding roads are narrow and winding but offer spectacular views. For a unique and relaxing journey, guests can also take the historic steam train to Ravenglass on the coast, connecting with mainline rail services and coastal paths.
