Eskdale Retreat
Idyllic Location | Self Catering | Sleeps 16 | Hiking | Cycling | Wild Swimming | Hot Tub
Eskdale Retreat, our fabulous home in the western Lake District, sits in an idyllic location in the Eskdale valley, with the River Esk and Whillan Beck running along its boundaries. Eight bedrooms sleep up to 16 people.
The house is the former Eskdale Vicarage, which we have painstakingly restored and extended to create a fabulous luxury retreat that perfectly combines traditional Lakeland style with cool and contemporary Scandi design. The main house has six ensuite luxury bedrooms, with two additional ensuite bedrooms in the adjacent Coach House.
.
Far from the madding crowd and described by Alfred Wainwright as “one of the loveliest of Lakeland’s valleys”, Eskdale descends from the highest and wildest mountains in the Lake District towards the sea. This is a rugged, beautiful place for families and outdoor lovers – hikers, cyclists, wild swimmers, artists and escapists!
We don’t think there is better setting for an adventure filled luxury escape. Our garden, meadow and woodland are enchanting. With private river frontage there are deep pools for natural bathing. This is the stuff of childhood dreams. It is the perfect place for families and groups who love both luxury and the great outdoors, ideally located to explore and enjoy some of the best hiking, cycling, wild swimming and adventure activities in the UK.

Full Details
Eskdale Retreat’s super luxurious and quirky interiors offer a wonderful blend of traditional Lakeland with contemporary Scandi influenced design. Our fabulous open plan kitchen / dining / lounge area, with double sided log burner, looks out through huge glass bifold doors across our meadow, toward the River Esk, with a backdrop of Lakeland fells.
With a large TV / cinema room, a cosy library snug, large hot tub and an Alpine style boot room with heated boot warmers, we have thought about every detail to make the perfect luxury escape. If, like us, you love cycling, then you’ll love our secure bike storage for up to 16 bikes, with bike washing facilities.
The large modern kitchen is equipped with everything that you will need to create feasts after days of adventures on the fells. However, if you don’t feel like cooking then there are two pubs within walking distance and two more a short bicycle or car ride away. If you prefer to “dine out at home” then we can recommend an amazing private chef who will cook for you.
Six luxurious ensuite bedrooms in the main house and two more in adjacent coach house, sleep up to 16 people. Seven of our bedrooms have super king size beds, four of which are zip link and can be divided into two singles. Two of the bedrooms have baths (one copper and one black!) and another has a fabulous built-in bunk bed, which is as much fun for the grown-ups as the kids.
From the doorstep of the house, you can explore some of the most stunning and unspoilt areas of the western Lake District. This is a place that is far from the madding crowd of the central Lake District. Rather, it is a place to escape the rat race. A place for relaxing, laughing and outdoor adventure and fun with family and friends.
