About this property

St Francis Cottage

Enjoy a cozy cottage in the picturesque Duddon Valley. The charming, traditional St Francis Cottage offers a peaceful escape in a beautiful rural setting. While it retains the simplicity and character of a classic Lake District home, it is full of warmth and charm, making it the perfect retreat for those looking to unwind and appreciate the stunning beauty of the Lake District.



Inside, you're greeted with an inviting, open-plan living space, featuring a fireplace with a wood stove – the perfect spot to relax after a day of exploration. The kitchen is equipped with an electric stove, microwave, refrigerator, freezer, dishwasher, and washing machine, providing all the essentials for a self-catering stay.



The sunroom with French doors opens onto the private garden, and the enclosed garden with outdoor furniture is a lovely place to unwind. Find yourself surrounded by scenic walks and peaceful drives right from your doorstep, a footpath runs alongside the house, leading to Stickle Pyke. Plus, the nearby River Duddon is ideal for relaxing picnics and private salmon and trout fishing.



Upstairs, you'll find a comfortable double bedroom with a 4.5-foot bed and a cozy single bedroom with a 3-foot bed. The bathroom includes a bathtub with a shower and a toilet.



The cottage is equipped with Wi-Fi, and initial logs for the wood stove are provided. There is also private parking available, and up to two dogs are welcome to join your stay!



If you're eager to explore further, you're close to attractions such as Muncaster Castle, the Ravenglass and Eskdale Steam Railway, Coniston Water, and Hardknott Fort. With a store just 1 mile away and a country bar 2 miles away, this delightful cottage provides the perfect balance of rustic charm and convenience in a tranquil location.

A lovely little cottage in the most beautiful surroundings.

The cottage, while quaint in the most beautiful setting, is a little tired and would benefit from a little maintenance. This does not detract from the enjoyment of the stay. It was peaceful and had all we needed for our 7 day stay. All in all I would recommend this cottage to anyone looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of normal life. A lovely little cottage in the most beautiful surroundings.

We absolutely loved this place- St Francis Cottage is lovely and set in the most amazing quiet and peaceful countryside, stunning views from the conservatory and garden. Great to listen to the birds singing, and of course the woodpecker! Lots to do within easy reach of the cottage. Very comfy beds and lots of wardrobe space. Would highly recommend 😎
