Holiday cottage to rent in Birker Moor, Cumbria

Accommodation details

This cosy converted barn hideaway is tucked away in a peaceful location, offering stunning views over Scafell and incredible golden hour light. An idyllic retreat for couples seeking walking adventures in the Lake District National Park and tranquillity amidst rolling countryside. Soak in your spectacular location with mountainous views and blissful birdsong as you make your way up to the front door of this beautiful property.

Head upstairs into the open-plan, studio-style living space, which has been thoughtfully designed for comfort and convenience. Sink into the corner sofa in front of the crackle of the wood burner and enjoy cups of tea while browsing the Smart TV. The compact yet fully equipped kitchen makes dishing up romantic meals for two a breeze, which can be enjoyed around the cosy dining table or outside in the private garden to the side of the property. Here, you can dine alfresco surrounded by nature, and as the evening draws in, stargaze under the clear night sky.

Enjoy a hot shower in the well-appointed shower room at bedtime, then climb into your cosiest pyjamas and settle into the sumptuous double bed. Rounding off the home is private parking for one car. Wake up and head off to discover Stanley Ghyll Waterfall (1 mile), one of the Lake District's most enchanting landmarks.

Devoke Water (1.5 miles), the largest tarn in the Lake District, is also nearby. The area is perfect for hiking enthusiasts — with the starting point for climbing Scafell Pike just 13 miles away, offering endless unspoiled scenery. For a more leisurely experience, enjoy a picnic at the foot of the mountain.

Popular local attractions such as Wastwater, Hardknott Pass, and the Eskdale Steam Railway are all within 11 miles.
