The Old Wine Store

Recently refurbished, this beautiful self-contained apartment is the perfect place for an action-packed getaway or a relaxing retreat. The apartment has its own front door and outside garden, and was once the old wine cellar for the main house above.

The space

The living space contains a fully equipped kitchen area with gas oven and hob, fridge and freezer compartment, as well as a kettle, microwave and toaster. There is a dining table and a large comfy sofa in front of the television and DVD player. In the bedroom there is a sumptuous king size bed with wardrobe, drawers and dressing table. The bathroom contains a shower cubicle. Outside is a patio and lawn area set up with a table and chairs.

Guest access

There is ample parking at the property, shared with the house and another holiday let. Our ceilings are quite low and there is a beam in the living space, so our place may not be ideal if you are really tall.

Where you will be

Ravenglass is an idyllic, picture-postcard village in the Western Lake District. We sit on the estuary of three rivers — the Irt, the Mite and the Esk — and right on the west coast. In fact, Ravenglass is the only coastal village inside the Lake District National Park. You get the best of both worlds: sea views and beaches, but still a stone’s throw from some of the UK’s most famous peaks and lakes, including Scafell Pike and Wastwater.

The Old Wine Store has three pubs within walking distance, all of which serve great food, just down the hill into the centre of Ravenglass. There are no big shops in the village but there is a small post office; it is a short drive to convenience shops, with bigger shops in Egremont and Whitehaven.

There is plenty to keep you busy in and around Ravenglass — the Roman Bath House to see, Muncaster Castle to explore and the La’al Ratty railway to enjoy, all within walking distance. Ravenglass has its own train station, five minutes’ walk away, so for a short stay there would be no need to bring a car.
