Bramble Cottage
Bramble Cottage is a gorgeous bolt-hole for two people, situated in the lovely village of Gosforth in the Western reaches of the Lake District National Park and within easy reach of Eskdale, Wasdale and Scafell Pike, England's highest mountain, and the beach at Seascale is just 10 minutes drive away.
The Wasdale area is synonymous with wonderful walking routes, both high on the fell tops or low to ground through the surrounding farms and along the rivers and breathtaking views in all directions.
Bramble Cottage is the smaller of two cottages that sit next door, the other being Brock Cottage (sleeps 4), ideal to book together for an extended family holiday.
On the ground floor is the living room with comfy seating, a log-burning fire, and a Freeview TV. Off the living room is the spacious kitchen & diner that leads through to the rear enclosed garden with a 6ft wooden fence to keep pets secure.
Upstairs is the double bedroom with a king-size bed and en-suite shower facilities.

About the location
Gosforth, Cumbria: A charming village for self-catering holidays in the Lake District
Nestled between the Eskdale and Wasdale valleys in the western Lake District, the picturesque village of Gosforth is a hidden gem. Its traditional stone cottages, friendly locals, and stunning scenery make it the perfect place to relax and unwind on a self-catering holiday.
The village of Gosforth benefits from three local pubs, including the Kellbank, which is just 2-minutes walk from the cottage. A wonderful bakery and a charming cafe called "Yam Frae Yam Cafe" (Home from Home in Cumbrian dialect, in case you were wondering). Budgens convenience store has all the essentials and an excellent takeaway section offering hot and cold food.
Local attractions
Gosforth is surrounded by some of the Lake District's most iconic landscapes, including:
- Wast Water: England's deepest lake, Wast Water, is a must-see for visitors. You can walk around the lake shore or swim in crystal-clear waters - be warned, the water is cold!.
- Scafell Pike: England's highest mountain, Scafell Pike is a challenging but rewarding hike. You'll enjoy panoramic views of the Lake District and beyond from the summit.
- Eskdale and Wasdale valleys: These two valleys are home to some of the most beautiful scenery in the Lake District, with rolling hills, lush forests, and picturesque villages. There are plenty of walking and cycling trails to explore and opportunities for fishing, kayaking, and canoeing.
In addition to its natural attractions, Gosforth also has a rich history and culture. Visitors can learn more about the village's Viking heritage at the Gosforth Viking Cross, and explore the beautiful St Mary's Church, which dates back to the 12th century.
