Large Holiday Cottages Lake District

Routen House is a large holiday cottage which offers luxury self catering accomodation in the lake district for up to twelve people. Originally a Victorian Country Farmhouse, it stands proudly by Ennerdale Water, one of the most spectacular & secluded lakes in the Lake District, Cumbria.

The holiday cottage itself has four acres of it's own land with pastures stretching down towards the lake. In the garden there is a feeling of peace with panoramic views of the high fells and the lake. The separate paddock has a bubbling stream that commences its journey in the mountains and finally into the lake.

The unspoiled, tranquil valley of Ennderdale is an ideal starting point for hundreds of walks - from gentle lakeside strolls to energetic mountain hikes (the views of Ennerdale and Buttermere lakes from the high fells are a stunning reward); rock climbing (a good base from which to approach Pillar); mountain biking in Ennerdale forest and fishing in the lake (permit required); pony trekking and quad-biking (available nearby). The valley has an abundance of wildlife including badgers, foxes, deer and a variety of birds of prey.

The nearest village, Ennerdale Bridge, has a Post Office and General Store, a church and two public houses (both serving good food and a variety of beers, including real ale). The market towns of Cockermouth & Whitehaven are only a short distance away and the popular town of Keswick is only 1/2 hour drive from Routen.
