The Bothy is a unique little cottage stay set remotely within the Duddon and Eskdale Valleys. Perfect for couples, you’ll find peace and tranquility within the Cumbrian Mountains, offering breathtaking countryside in an area of outstanding beauty. Accessible and close to Devoke Water, The Bothy is conveniently situated for Ulpha, Seathwaite, Eskdale, Boot, Broughton-in-Furness and the coast. An ideal stay for walking, wild swimming, fishing, cycling, climbing, sightseeing or simply relaxing. Located 1000' up on a fell with great views in all directions, particularly of Scafell, Crinkle Craggs and Bowfell. Devoke Water is only a ten minute walk away. The Eskdale and Duddon Valleys are only 3 miles either side with a variety of pubs (all dog friendly), with beautiful walks as well as numerous things to do and general sightseeing. Approximately 1 mile from Fell Road, the road ends at the farm about 200 yards further down, so there is no passing traffic other than the farmer who on occasions will pass on his tractor. The Schoolhouse’s location is in the middle of a Cumbrian fell top farm, and being secluded away in the mountains on a clear night offers spectacular views of the nights sky, to only compliment the views in the day. An open plan combined lounge / dining / kitchen area welcomes you from the entrance where you’ll find a comfortable sofa for two, a log burning stove, TV, DVD player and Sky TV. The kitchen has a 4 ring gas cooker, fridge/freezer, microwave, kettle all the usual utensils and crockery. There is access to laundry facilities should you require. Surrounded by stone walls and oak beams, an open staircase takes you downstairs to the bedroom on the left, complete with double bed, wardrobe and bedside cupboards. To the right of the stairs brings you to the bathroom with a traditional slipper bath, WC and basin.

In addition to your stay and comfort, we provide WiFi access, night storage heaters in addition to the log burning stove. There is a gas BBQ provided, including basic starter kits for the log burner, with more items available should you require. Pets are more than welcome (but not on the furniture please!) Being passionate about delivering unique, memorable stays, we are proud of our reputation and look forward to welcoming you to The Bothy.
