“Relaxing spacious property. A real gem.”

Quite secluded but peaceful. A perfect base to access all notable locations in the Lakes. Our 2 small dogs settled quickly. A nearby pub is 10/15 mins walk away. Serving good quality food. Otherwise stock up and make use of the modern fully equipped kitchen. A very good sized bathroom complete with shower cubicle. On arrival we found muffins and a pint of milk waiting in the kitchen. Very hospitable.

“Great Stay”

This is an excellent holiday let. Spotlessly clean with a modern kitchen and quite a spacious bathroom. It was very comfortable too. It is near the main road which you can hear in the distance from the house and the courtyard is small and away from the house, however, these factors did not stop us from having a wonderful holiday. Being near the road meant that we could easily travel around the area. There is a Sainsbury's in Cockermouth which is very convenient too. Check well in advance what time the key will be available to collect.

About the location

COCKERMOUTH

Bassenthwaite Lake 7 miles; Keswick 13 miles.

The small country market town of Cockermouth is situated in the quiet north-western part of the Lake District, a largely undiscovered and unspoilt area, yet only 13 miles from Keswick. The town is famous as the birthplace of both William Wordsworth and Fletcher Christian (of Mutiny on the Bounty fame) and Wordsworth’s Georgian family home, on the main street, is now a popular visitor attraction, owned by the National Trust. Cockermouth offers a good variety of shops, pubs and places to eat, but (of course) the main attraction of the area is the beautiful scenery and excellent walking in the northern lakes – Bassenthwaite Lake, Ennerdale Water and Derwent Water.
