Location
Ravenglass is the only coastal village within the Lake District National Park, positioned where the Esk, Mite and Irt estuaries meet at the foot of the Eskdale Valley.
The village benefits from the popular Ravenglass & Eskdale Railway, known locally as La'al Ratty, attracting visitors throughout the year, whilst its coastal path location makes it a popular base for walkers exploring the western fells and routes towards Scafell Pike.
Nearby Muncaster Castle provides a further year-round attraction, with the wider Lake District, including Wasdale, Coniston, Ambleside and Windermere, all within easy reach. Sellafield is approximately 20 minutes away, supporting additional demand from contractors and site workers outside the main tourism season.

Business Description
Veritas Business Sales offers for sale, by way of share sale, the freehold company owning Croftlands @ Ravenglass, two established holiday-let cottages occupying a coastal position within the National Park.
No. 3 and No. 9 Croftlands Drive are both freehold, fully furnished and turnkey, requiring no immediate capital expenditure. No. 3 is a three-bedroom cottage sleeping up to seven guests, with a wood-burner, conservatory and enclosed garden. No. 9 is the larger of the two, a four-bedroom cottage sleeping up to eight guests, finished with a navy shaker kitchen, central island and dual-aspect living room. Both are dog-friendly, offer self-check-in, and can be booked individually or together for groups of up to fifteen.
Held within a single limited company, the properties are offered together as a share sale, giving a purchaser clean title, an established trading operation, and potential SDLT advantages compared with a conventional asset purchase, subject to purchaser circumstances and professional advice.
The cottages trade on Airbnb with confirmed forward bookings already secured through to 2027. The vendor reports seven years of continuous trading and 453 combined guest reviews across the two properties, with average ratings of 4.78 and 4.73 stars. Current occupancy sits close to the Cumbria County average, leaving clear, identifiable scope for a new owner to improve performance through wider distribution, active revenue management and full commercial trading across both properties.
The business benefits from established operating systems including self-check-in, online booking management and established cleaning arrangements, allowing the operation to run efficiently for either a hands-on owner or as a lifestyle investment.
The combined guide price is £640,000, comprising £545,000 for the two freehold properties and £95,000 attributed to goodwill, established trading history, Airbnb profile, guest reviews and the ongoing holiday-let operation.
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a freehold holiday-let portfolio in one of the Lake District's most distinctive settings, structured to provide a straightforward acquisition route and ready to trade from day one. Early viewing is strongly recommended.
