Blue & Green cottages #6: The Pump House, Cumbria

The Features desk

This week’s featured property in our cottages4you series is The Pump House, a serene cottage located just outside the Lake District.

Relax, unwind and indulge in this unique, romantic converted pump house which stands in an idyllic position on the banks of the River Eden (fishing from the doorstep, 10 yards).

Delightfully decorated in a Scandinavian style, this appealing, detached holiday home overlooks the cricket pitch, church and river.

Centrally located in the beautiful Eden Valley, between the Lakes and Yorkshire Dales, guests can enjoy the contrasting scenery of these two national parks, plus numerous walking and cycling opportunities, before returning to watch the wildlife swim by.

Shop 500 yards; pub 200 yards.

For more information about this cosy cottage, visit cottages4you’s website. Blue & Green Tomorrow receives a small agent’s commission from every holiday booked which helps fund our intern and researcher programme.
