Absolutely fantastic location. No need to drive anywhere really, just enjoy the unspoiled remoteness. Walks in all directions from the doorstep. If you are feeling energetic you can walk over the fell to Wasdale and then attempt Scafell Pike. A long day but amazing experience. The River Esk walk was lovely. The Boot Inn did a delicious Sunday lunch wasked down with Cumbria Way ale. One tip would to bring plenty of food for the week. Other than the pubs there's nothing really close by for every day eating especially if you are on a budget. Highly recommend cottage and location..will be back.

I really can’t recommend these cottages enough, very clean and a perfect location. Very friendly to deal with during booking and the staff we encountered during our stay couldn’t do enough to help. Lots of helpful information and directions provided before we traveled, we will definitely be back, thank you again!

We had a lovely time at Wrynose cottage in Boot. The location is perfect with walks from the door step we only used the car once in a week. Pubs that do food within walking distance and a shop; steam railway; and working water mill. It's truly a lovely place to stay. Can't fault it!

We had a wonderful week in Wrynose Cottage. The location was perfect although parking a little tight. The Boot Inn and the Brook House Inn are both to be highly recommended. We had a slight issue with there not being enough hot water to fill the bath after a long walk, but this was quickly sorted out with the help of a lady who was doing the laundry. Cottage had everything that we needed, the bed was very comfortable and our dog loved playing ball in the paddock.

We had a lovely stay at Wrynose Cottage, the cottage had everything we needed and was very clean and comfortable.
The location is ideal for a lot of lovely walks and also for the two local pubs. We used the Boot Inn both nights as it’s the closest and the weather was bad - it was beautifully decorated for Xmas, the food was great and the staff friendly and welcoming.
Like I said the weather was awful the first day but it’s December and the country had just been bashed by storm Arwen, we were grateful for the heating and the movie Chanel’s once we dried off! The second day we managed to get out properly and it was lovely although we couldn’t get to the waterfalls because of the storm.
We had a lovely stay and I’d like to thank Greg for being so accommodating with my check out requests. The customer service was fab and we have no complaints - in fact we’d love to stay again in the summer,

This is the third time I have stayed in Bridge End Farm Cottages and Wrynose is as charming as the others. The cottage is very cosy and also well equipped. Greg and the team could not have been more helpful with the arrangements, It was lovely to unwind there after a rather strenuous climb up Scafell from Upper Eskdale and a long tramp back into the valley via Stony Tarn and Eel Tarn.

Fantastic cottage. Very comfortable all set in a great location. We are in our 70’s and this was our first stay here at Wrynose as we came with family who always stay at Hardknott cottage. A great recommendation and thank you to the Bridge end team for looking after us so well. We hope to return.

We were wowed from the minute we arrived on the cobbles. Our little holiday house was beautiful, quaint and stylishly decorated. Amy was very welcoming. I requested a stair gate and after we returned on a first day out, it was fitted for me. The garden was lovely with the river running along the garden. The location was stunning just a few minutes walk to the local pub (make sure you book a table in advance) and the steam train 10 minute walk. Wrynose cottage was idyllic and worth every penny. Thank you so much for making our little trip so perfect.

We had 4 excellent days in Wrynose cottage. The cottage was very tastefully decorated and comfortable. Although connected to the other cottages very quiet and with a beautiful garden to have breakfast and evening drinks in.
The facilities all worked - lots of hot water, good internet and the laundry was a god-send. 2 pubs within 5 mins walk, and excellent starting location for walks around Eskdale, a shop 1 minute away and the Ravenglass & Eskdale railway only 10 mins walk away. Great location for adults and children.
For two of us the cottage was excellent and we definitely plan to return. On the website it says 2+1+baby could stay there. I think a bit small for more than 2+ a baby, but others may not share that view!!
Well worth visiting



Greg Poole replied more than 1 year ago
Thank you for those kind comments that you found the cottage excellent and we are delighted to hear you loved our wonderful location enjoying the pubs, shop, walks and train. Regarding numbers, we don’t actually get many guests with more than a baby staying but just occasionally we get a family with two young children - say a 3 year old and 1 year old. As we don’t have a 2 bedroom cottage - it’s either 1 or 4 bedroom, we try and provide this service. We do point out that it’s a one bedroom cottage so a bit of a squeeze and families with older children are better off booking a large cottage. It seems to work and like I said, it’s not often and probably only once a year that we get a 2 + 1 +1 situation. We look forward to welcoming you to our special part of the Lake District again sometime soon. Best wishes from all the team at Bridge End Farm Cottages.

Had a very pleasant stay in Wrynose. The cottage was very clean and to a high standard. The only negative is due to the old building and only windows at one side of the property downstairs it is a bit dark in the living area downstairs (very light and airy in the lovely bedroom) so we were pleased for a full week of sunshine. It would be a very cosy cottage in winter. Great location and lovely garden space. Thank you.



Greg Poole replied more than 1 year ago
We are delighted to hear that you had a very pleasant stay and enjoyed lots of warm Cumbrian sunshine along with our gardens and special location. Regarding the light, we do have four big glazed windows at the front and also bring light from the bedroom down the stairs too. it is indeed a very cosy cottage. Perhaps you could come back and explore the delights of Eskdale in the winter months.

What a great location Boot is and the cottages are situated in the middle of the village with walks from the front door . There are at least 3 restaurants and pubs within in easy walking distance and a selection of 4 or 5 more within 10 minutes by car. Great walking, friendly people and wonderful countryside!

Excellent cottage set in a perfect location for hiking, or relaxing. Very comfortable, with everything you need for a great stay. 2 lovely pubs within a 2 minute walk, serving food and drinks. The garden at the rear providing picnic tables and bbq’s. Car parking can be tricky but only if others don’t park within the lines. Will happily return again and again if availability when we need it!

Lovely bright airy bedroom with a huge comfy bed and lovely views. Nice bathroom. Downstairs a little dark and poky as this isn’t one of the cottages with windows that overlook the communal garden. Kitchen had everything we needed although preparation space is limited. Tea/coffee/milk provided.
Perfect location nestled at the end of the quiet Boot valley. Would recommend.

We had a lovely few days away in Boot with our 6 month old daughter for her first holiday. The cottage was in a perfect location and was easy to access. Plenty of walks right from the cottage door and just a couple of minutes stroll from The Brook House Inn where you always get a warm welcome.
We already can’t wait to go back

We arrived at Wrynose cottage with the intention of not using our car for the whole week. With an OS walking map and a train ride to Ravenglass, we found plenty to do. We ate out at the Boot Inn a couple of evenings. They were managing the current situation very well. We were very pleased with the broadband speed and although not mentioned in the property details, we appreciated the separate small freezer which was sufficient for our needs.



Very relaxing stay.

The cottage was beautiful even if the weather wasn't for our stay. Every area was spotlessly clean which was very reassuring in these times. A minor irritation was that the central heating was coming on during the night and not at the daily times that were mentioned in the 'house literature'. We requested this be looked at and it was dealt with quickly so we had heating in the morning but still it came on at night. I would say it wasn't a major problem for us but something that obviously needs attention.
Another thing that may perhaps be considered is to provide some instructions for working the cooker. It is of a very advanced design and took us a little while to discover how to switch it on.

We were hesitant about going away at all, but the team were excellent at making us feel safe in the cottage. It was spotless on arrival, and instructions provided in advance for all aspects of checking in and out were very thorough.

An issue with the TV on arrival was sorted out first thing the next day, and everything else was well managed.

The cottage was ideal for our needs, quiet and right next to footpaths so we hardly used the car all week. A small shop at the end of the drive provided most of our lunches, and the local pubs are great.

The parking is challenging, and is reliant on other guests parking considerately, which was not always the case, but we managed even in our pretty wide car. I'd also warn any tall guests that the cottage has some low beams, so be prepared to duck a lot or expect some bruises otherwise. But everything within the control of the hosts was excellent.

Cottage was well equiped and in a wonderful location with lots of walking, swimming and other activities right on the doorstep. It was great to not have to use the car every day.
Cottage was comfortable and just large enough for two.
There was lots of information available and communication prior to stay was very good.
I would definately recommend, and would love to return.

My wife and 3 yr old son stayed at the beautiful Wrynose cottage one of several of Select gorgeous cottages, set on the back drop of Whillan Beck the most picturesque stream literally in the garden of the cottage with a little bridge at the end of it.
This is great for relaxing and great for kids to dip the feet in the stream and plenty of room to run about. Right next to the cottage is an old roman Mill and museum which has an abundance of history. Down the cobbled quiet road about a 100 yards are 2 different pubs serving great food and local ales. A five minute walk down from these pubs is Dalegarth station, The Ravenglass & Eskdale Railway is one of the oldest and longest narrow gauge railways in England, known affectionately as La’al Ratty meaning “little railway“. The views on this short 30 minute journey are spectacular and my little boy was spellbound on his little steam train. It takes you to Ravenglass where Muncaster Castle is situated. I could go on about the area and the various things to do but I cannot recommend Select Cottages enough, Greg and his team are A class and to stay in a truly 5 star luxury cottage at very reasonable prices is rare. The cottage itself has everything you’d need, the cleanliness is 10/10 the bed is so comfy you’ll be asleep in no time and if you can’t, well, there’s a skylight on the ceiling so you can drift off looking at the stars. Cheers Select, we will be back. A truly magical stay.
Many thanks
Chris, Becky and Keaton. X
