quote open We really enjoyed our holiday in Villa Charmante. The villa is charming and wonderfully situated. We enjoyed the views over Claviers and surrounding beautiful countryside. Claviers itself is delightful and such a treat to be able to wander down to the boulangerie to buy the breakfast. We are feeling rather sad to be back but have some very happy memories of the holiday. quote close

quote open We had a wonderful holiday in such a stunning location. The villa, set amongst olive groves, was truly charming with spectacular views from the terrace overlooking the village and in our case providing us with first rate views of the firework display commemorating the end of the village fete. The caretakers Claude and Juliette were very helpful and kind. The house was clean and well stocked. The restaurant L'Olivier was a real gem, great French food and a welcoming atmosphere. We arrived very stressed and left relaxed, the sign of a good holiday. quote close

4 and 5 Star Lake District Holiday Cottages

Bridge End Farm Cottages are situated in Boot, Eskdale, The Lake District, and consist of the Grade 2 Listed Elizabethan Farmhouse, accommodation which sleeps up to 8, and a range of Grade 2 Listed Barns, converted into 6 cottages, accommodation that sleep from 2 to 9.

The cottages are set in the small, tranquil village of Boot, in the Western Lake District, so, you are afforded the peace, quiet and tranquility of a more remote location but also have good access to local amenities and the charming village pubs just a minute or two's walk away in the village. Each cottage is self-catering accommodation so why not grab some fresh, local Lake District produce and cook up a storm!

The Farmhouse and cottages themselves are full of charm and character, with exposed beams and stone work and some have fireplaces, there are beautiful gardens and awe inspiring views of the Lake District Fells, we even have the Whillan Beck running past the cottages. So, these Lake District cottages do indeed blend into and compliment the beauty of the surrounding area.

The beauty of the Lake District is breathtaking all year round, especially the area surrounding Bridge End Farm Cottages. You can walk amongst the snow capped Fells in winter, like Scafell Pike, and then "cosy up" next to the fire place in one of the local Inns with a local ale, or two. Or in summer, rock jump into one of the nearby rivers, for example, the River Esk, or swim in a nearby lake, e.g. Wastwater Lake or head off for a day on the fells.

A visit to the Lake District is an all round adventure with lots to offer, walking, climbing, mountain biking, swimming, fishing, horse riding and much more. And, if all that sounds a little over active, there is much to see and do and many local attractions from Historic House and Castles to quaint villages and market towns to historic steam railways that both adults and children will love. But, more importantly, it is about relaxing....

Select Cottages will take every step to make sure your stay in the Lake District is an escape from the strains and stresses of everyday life and that at the end of your stay with us you will leave with a revitalised mind, body and soul!
