The Old Pump House, situated near Millom in Cumbria, is an inviting self-catering holiday home that accommodates up to six guests. This former pumping station, which once served the local ironworks, is nestled on the banks of the picturesque Black Beck in the tranquil village of The Green. Just 4.5 miles from the historic market town of Broughton, this single-storey retreat offers a peaceful escape, steeped in history and surrounded by the natural beauty of South Cumbria. The village itself, resting at the northern end of an ancient ford across Duddon Sands, provides a glimpse into the region's past as a hub for cattle herding before the advent of the railway.
The accommodation features a cozy living room with French doors that open to stunning river views, complemented by original beams and a large log-burning stove. The dining room and kitchen area, also adorned with wooden beams and a slate floor, is equipped with modern appliances, including an oil-fired Range Cooker and a dining table for six. The utility room provides essential amenities such as a washing machine and additional WC. The property boasts three well-appointed bedrooms: a king-size room with patio access, a double room with river views, and a children's room with a single and a smaller bed, all equipped with TVs for entertainment.
Outside, guests can enjoy a spacious patio area complete with a BBQ and an optional hot tub that overlooks the river and neighboring farmland, making it an ideal spot for relaxation on sunny days. The outdoor space is furnished with cushioned seating and a six-seat dining table, perfect for al fresco meals while listening to the soothing sounds of nature. Ample parking is available for up to three cars, along with storage for bicycles, and a variety of nearby walking trails for outdoor enthusiasts to explore.
It’s important to note that the hot tub is an optional extra, available for an additional fee due to rising electricity costs. Essential amenities such as oil, electricity, bed linen, towels, and an initial supply of logs are included in the rental. Families will find conveniences like a travel cot and high chair available upon request, and WiFi is accessible throughout the property. The Old Pump House is ideally located for exploring local attractions, including the John Ruskin Museum and Muncaster Castle, making it a perfect base for a memorable holiday in the stunning Lake District.
