The Mill Cottage

The Mill Cottage Fully refurbished 2 bedroomed historic cottage. Beams, feature log burner, riverside location & adjacent pub complement its 4 star 'Visit England' status. Wi-Fi.

Description
The Mill is situated at the heart of the unspoiled Lakeland village of Mungrisdale, in a peaceful Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Local walks from the doorstep are plentiful. Following the River Glenderamackin’s waterfalls leads up to Bannerdale Crags, onto Sharp Edge and the summit of Blencathra. Easy walks include Swinside Valley and Bowscale Tarn. Originally built as a corn mill

in the 15th-Century, with a fifteen foot water wheel, it also worked as a timber mill and carpenter’s shop, specialising in horse drawn carts. The adjacent Mill Cottage and popular Mill Inn (17th-Century) have entertained many famous visitors including poets William Wordsworth and Samuel Taylor Coleridge, who in 1803, overturned their cart and stayed overnight as they journeyed to Scotland. Authors, Charles Dickens and Wilkie Collins resided in 1857; rock legend Peter Gabriel and former Prime Minister John Major stayed at The Mill when it operated as an award-winning small hotel. The holiday cottage was, at the time, the private residence of the hotel owners. Located at the foot of Souther Fell, The Mill is well placed to see the legendary ghosts of the Roman Army, who were first witnessed marching across the fell on a midsummer’s eve in 1735. The Mill has been sympathetically renovated to provide contemporary comforts within its heavily beamed traditional interior. Ground floor:

Hi folks
We’re hunting for budding photographers to capture the beauty of the local area on camera to replace the photo above our open fire in the Inn.
Yes, we could take a nice photo ourselves, but feel it would rather special if one of our customers, followers or a member of the community took one. So we are running our first Facebook competition.
The winner will receive the honour of having their photo displayed pride of place, and will also win a complimentary 3 course meal for 2 with a bottle of prosecco in our restaurant.
Time to get your cameras, iPhones, and mobiles out and get snapping!
But, that’s not it... all images / entries will be framed by ourselves, and hung in the pub for sale, with proceeds going to Keswick Mountain Rescue and other worthy charities.
What do you say, fancy helping us make a difference and raise funds for a good cause?
To enter, all you have to do is send your best single image to [email protected], with ‘Photo Competition’ and your name in the subject of the email... we’ll do the rest.
We’re really looking forward to seeing your images, and displaying them in our Facebook gallery. It’s then up to the public - the image with the most likes wins!!
The gallery will be opened on 1st February 2018 - what are you waiting for, send in your images today, good luck!

The Lake District is full of hidden nooks and crannies waiting to be explored. One fascinating geological must-see is the Bowder Stone. Located just to the south of Derwentwater in the Jaws of Borrowdale. HPB Merlewood
