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, comprising two established holiday-let cottages occupying a coastal position within the Lake District National Park.
The business has traded successfully for approximately seven years and generated turnover of £36,215 for the year ended 31 March 2026, producing gross profit of £31,311 and a gross margin of 86.5%.
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, with a contemporary fitted kitchen and spacious living accommodation.
Both properties are dog-friendly, offer self-check-in and can be booked individually or together, providing accommodation for groups of up to fifteen guests.
Held within a single limited company, the properties are offered together as a share sale, providing a purchaser with the two freehold properties together with the established holiday-let trading operation.
The cottages currently trade through Airbnb and benefit from an established online presence, with 453 combined guest reviews across the two properties and average ratings of 4.78 and 4.73 stars.
Confirmed forward bookings are already secured through to 2027, providing an incoming purchaser with immediate bookings and an established trading platform from completion.
Current occupancy sits close to the Cumbria County average, leaving clear scope for a new owner to further increase turnover through wider distribution across additional booking platforms, direct bookings, active revenue management and increased commercial trading across both properties.
The business also 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. Early viewing is strongly recommended.

Confirmed Forward Bookings
The business benefits from confirmed Airbnb reservations covering dates throughout the remainder of 2026 together with advance bookings into 2027.
These reservations provide an incoming purchaser with immediate forward revenue from the established Airbnb operation.
This is a rare opportunity to acquire two freehold holiday cottages together with an established trading operation in one of the Lake District's most distinctive settings. The business is ready to trade from day one whilst offering genuine scope for a new owner to further develop occupancy and turnover.
Early viewing is strongly recommended.
