About Island Cottage

Island Cottage sits on Otter Island within the Crook O' Lune, a horseshoe-shaped bend in the River Lune near Lancaster, Lancashire. This single-storey riverside retreat sleeps four guests and forms part of the historic Hermitage Estate, built for Lancaster's Mayor in the 19th century. The gated property offers complete privacy despite being just five miles from the M6 motorway.

The location provides direct access to woodland walking trails and a pebbled beach. Guests can explore the estate grounds, try fishing or hire bikes on site. The River Lune offers opportunities for paddling at certain points.

Inside you'll find an open-plan lounge-diner with a piano and Smart TV, flowing into a conservatory with floor-to-ceiling river views. The sleek kitchen includes a dishwasher and coffee machine. The king-size bedroom has an en-suite shower room, whilst the twin bedroom sits adjacent to a bathroom with shower over bath. Both bedrooms feature Smart TVs.

The tiered garden hosts a hot tub positioned right on the river's edge, plus decked seating and BBQ facilities. This peaceful waterside location suits couples and small families perfectly.
