Is Starfell Cottage in Eskdale Right For You?

Discover why this cottage is ideal for different types of visitors

For Families
Eskdale offers excellent family activities including the Ravenglass Railway miniature steam trains. Muncaster Castle features owl displays and adventure playgrounds. Drigg Beach provides safe coastal exploring and rock pooling. The private river access allows supervised paddling and nature discovery. Walking routes suit all ages with gentle valley paths. The cinema room keeps children entertained during downtime. However, the property lacks dedicated play equipment or children's facilities on site.
For Couples
This property is not ideal for couples seeking a romantic retreat. Starfell Cottage sleeps 16 people across eight bedrooms, making it designed for large groups rather than intimate getaways. The scale and capacity suit family gatherings or group bookings. Couples would find better alternatives in smaller Lake District cottages with romantic features. The hot tub and river access could appeal, but the size makes it impractical for two guests alone.
Pet Friendly
Starfell Cottage does not accept pets. The property operates a strict no-pets policy for all bookings. If you're travelling with dogs, you'll need to find alternative Lake District accommodation that welcomes animals. Many cottages in Eskdale do accept pets, but this restored vicarage maintains pet-free status. Consider kennels or pet-sitting services if you're set on staying here. The policy ensures the property remains suitable for guests with allergies.
