Open plan living space.
Living area: (No TV)

First Floor:
Bedroom: Double (4ft 6in) Bed, Freeview TV, Electric Woodburner. Electric underfloor central heating, electric wall heaters, electricity, bed linen and towels included. . Private parking for 1 car. No smoking. Please note: The property has a natural water supply from a borehole and there is a river 20 yards away.. This unique, detached holiday home sits right on the River Eden beside an old pack horse bridge, with wonderful views across the river and farmland towards the Howgill Fells. Well presented and furnished and making good use of the available space, it is an ideal retreat for couples or a single person. You can even feed the ducks from the window! It is just a two minute walk from the interesting, traditional, small market town of Kirkby Stephen which stands on the famous Coast to Coast walk and is close to the scenic Settle to Carlisle railway line, two miles away. The magnificent Eden Valley is sandwiched between the Lakes and Dales National Parks, is less well known than the Lake District and is a real delight to visit. The surrounding countryside offers spectacular views and numerous walks of various levels and there is an excellent tourist office in the town to help plan your activities. The closest lake is Ullswater, 25 miles, which is regarded as the most romantic of the lakes. There is a regular boat service running up and down the lake with stop offs for those wishing to walk part way. There are plenty of water sports available along with terrific walking and cycling. A drive along the lakeside runs over Kirkstone Pass and down into Windermere and Ambleside, a scenic drive not to be missed. Shop, pub and restaurant 200 yards.

The water is from a spring, well or borehole, and not a mains supply.

My partner and I have been going to the Riverbank cottage every December for the last five years. The cottage is perfectly situated on Franks Bridge with the river just outside of the window. The village is a two minute walk away where there are some beautiful bars and restaurants. We could not recommend this place enough especially at Christmas. Thank you so much to the owners for providing us with our perfect Christmas get away! Lyndsay and Stu x

This was a really cute cottage in a perfect location.
This was a really cute cottage in a perfect location. It had amazing views and was perfect for all types of walkers. It was also near many shops and pubs so some days we didn't use the car. The only reason we wouldn't use it again would be because the two seater sofa upstairs was just to small for comfort but I really don't know how you could improve this as there was limited space for anything else.

A fantastic cottage.
A fantastic cottage. Spotlessly clean and very well equipped. Lovely view of the river. Two minutes walk to town with shops and pubs and friendly people everywhere. Nice drives to surrounding areas or take the old time bus! If you are a walker it is only 108 miles to Robin Hood's Bay!! A wonderful break,highly recommended.
