    “House has a lovely homely feel to it and we felt very comfortable there but there was quite a few easy repairs needed to bring it to a 5* review.”

    Upon entering there is a huge crack next to the front door running from floor to ceiling, the toilet roll holder came off in my hand the first time I used the loo, the kickboard under the dishwasher kept coming off when you opened the dishwasher, dishwasher top level water dispenser broken off inside dishwasher, sofa uncomfortable and felt like we was constantly sliding forward. Cooker hood absolutely filthy and caked with cooking oil. Also we had an issue with a neighbour parking very awkwardly ...

    Upon entering there is a huge crack next to the front door running from floor to ceiling, the toilet roll holder came off in my hand the first time I used the loo, the kickboard under the dishwasher kept coming off when you opened the dishwasher, dishwasher top level water dispenser broken off inside dishwasher, sofa uncomfortable and felt like we was constantly sliding forward. Cooker hood absolutely filthy and caked with cooking oil. Also we had an issue with a neighbour parking very awkwardly so that it was quite a manoeuvre to get in and out with the car. Grass desperately needed cutting in the rear garden and the residue from the last cut was still out there so the dogs were constantly tracking grass in the house. This wouldn't have been so bad but the vacuum that is left there for guests to use is so full that you can't actually fix the lid on properly (hettie hoover) and cannot use it. There is a brush but no dustpan to get it up. Otherwise it's a lovely location in a gorgeous little town with a fab secure garden but these little problems, which are such an easy fix, severely let this holiday let down.

The property

Holmrook 3.1 miles.

Tucked away in the picturesque village of Ravenglass, the only coastal village within the Lake District National Park, is this semi-detached property, Ravenglass Haven.

Set over two floors, Ravenglass Haven welcomes families and two pets for a delightful break close to plenty of beautiful countryside.

Upon arrival, you are greeted by an off-road parking space, positioned directly outside the property so you can easily unload your belongings.

After a day of ambling the local area, the lounge will welcome your return with the woodburning stove and Smart TV equipped with Netflix and Amazon Prime, perfect for a movie night in.

Step through to the kitchen, hosting a range of appliances including an electric oven and gas hob, microwave, fridge, freezer and even a dishwasher, so washing up will be no trouble!

Enjoy a quiet read in the conservatory, or step out to the rear garden and soak up the last of the evening sunshine.

The bedrooms at this Ravenglass cottage rest upstairs, including two doubles and a bunk, along with a gleaming bathroom where you can have choice of bath and shower over.

From your front door you can stroll down to the estuary and take advantage of the fantastic sunsets over the sand dunes or discover the remains of the Ravenglass roman Bath House, established in 130 AD, from which the Hadrian’s Wall cycle track starts.

Muncaster castle and gardens are easily accessible by car and the beautiful grounds and house are open to visitors, and also host year round events such as concerts and bird shows to entertain the whole family.

Take a ride on the Ratty Steam Train up the Eskdale Valley.

It’s a wonderful experience and there is a good cafe at the of the line as well as some fantastic walks; the perfect day trip!

With the Lake District close by, a wealth of outdoor activity is within reach, including a climb up the mighty Scafell Pike, with paths ranging from easier to higher difficulty.

For those seeking adventure, embark upon one of the many mountain bike, road bike or walking routes departing from your front door.

Your situation in Ravenglass means you only have to travel just over 10 miles before reaching England's north-west coast, so why not take a day to visit Seascale?

However you choose to spend your precious holiday time, Ravenglass Haven is a superb choice, all-year-round.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £350.

About the location

HOLMROOK

Nestled in the countryside of the sought-after county of Cumbria, on the edge of the picturesque Lake District National Park, rests the pint-sized linear village of Holmrook.

Resting on the banks of the River Irt, Holmrook is a lovely spot to watch the world go by with a scenic stroll, or for a more strenuous walk, venture further afield to climb the challenging peaks of The Lakes!

Holmrook is perfectly situated to explore the delights of both the coast and country of Cumbria.
