Philip September 2024

“Lovely, well appointed cottage which was ideal for our holiday.”

Several points we would like to mention: :-Large patch of mould on bedroom wall - the spoors may affect peoples breathing. :- Bedrooms far too hot at night and unable to adjust heating setting. :- Settee is very uncomfortable and not up to the standard of the rest of the cottage. :- Both large clocks have stopped and presumably need batteries.

“This is the first time in my experience that a cottage has been even better than the description and images on the website.”

After a terrible journey due to road closures, the cottage (& Prosecco kindly left by the owner) really lifted our spirits. The cottage is beautiful, so comfortable, clean and well equipped with the added bonus of being in a wonderful setting. I would recommend a stay at Camerton Hall Cottage to anyone who wants to relax in comfort in a tranquil setting. Truly outstanding ⭐️⭐️. Thank you!

- Amao, August 2024

Thank you so much. We really appreciate your feedback. We’re so pleased you enjoyed your stay and some quality R & R. We look forward to welcoming you back. Property Owner

“This cottage is fantastic well equipped very very comfortable.”

Lynn July 2024

“A lovely, well thought out cottage, with everything and more that we needed.”

Great kitchen, great towels! Only three snags. 1 the sofa was in a poor condition and uncomfortable. 2 there were a lot of cobwebs. 3. The outside space needed a tidy up and weeding. Otherwise we had a very relaxing stay. Thank you.

- Lynn, July 2024
Rachel May 2024

“Lovely cottage in a quiet peaceful area with walks on the door stop.”

Spacious, warm cottage with very comfortable beds and everything you need including a welcome pack. Very easy to get to the lakes from here- Buttermere, crummock water, ennerdale, derwent water, etc. Unlike Windermere and Ambleside there is no traffic so it’s easy to drive anywhere.

- Rachel, May 2024

Thank you Rachel, so pleased you enjoyed staying at Camerton. We hope we can welcome you back soon. Property Owner
Graham April 2024

“A beautifully well presented cottage in a peaceful, tranquil location.”

For those who enjoy cooking, and we do, it was so nice to have such a well equipped kitchen. Despite the chilly and damp weather, the under floor heating kept the cottage warm and cosy. We lit the log burner just the once and that was during a planned power cut. Which we were notified of well in advance. A very comfy bed too. Recommended places to visit: The Pencil Museum in Keswick, Senhouse Roman Museum in Maryport with a walk along the cliffs, Silloth with its lovely promenade and walk out to Grune Point. Overall, a delightful and relaxing break.

- Graham, April 2024

Thank you for a lovely review. We really appreciated your patience and we’d love to welcome you back. X Property Owner
June March 2024

“The heating was not working in the living room and bedrooms.”

They were really cold. The bath plug was stuck and when we finally got it free the drainage hole was full of sludge. When the shower was used it didn't drain away so I was standing ankle deep in in dirty water with black bits floating in it. One bench does not classify as garden furniture. We were so disappointed we decided to come home on two days early. On sweeping the floor before we left I found two dog toys and a slipper under the sofa and the furniture was very uncomfortable to sit on. We would definitely not be staying there again.

- June, March 2024

Thank you so much for bringing these problems to our attention. . It’s a shame you didn’t contact housekeeping to resolve these issues.im sorry it impacted your visit. As you can see from the other reviews, this isn’t a common occurrence. Property Owner

Elaine October 2023

“Stylish decor, comfy beds, the underfloor heating was a nice feature but not having a thermostat in the lounge area meant the temperature wasn’t controllable so the room was either too hot or too cold.”

Several cleaning issues and a few maintenance issues encountered were reported to the housekeeping company. There was an overpowering smell of bleach in the lounge area on arrival - not at all pleasant! We found that the stove in the lounge had not been cleaned out prior to our arrival. There doesn’t appear to be a carbon monoxide detector in the lounge area so we didn’t use the stove. The rocks lining the edge of the parking area were difficult to see and can cause damage to car wheels and bodywork, so care must be taken when parking - the rocks really need to be made more visible.

- Elaine, October 2023

Thank you for the helpful feedback. It’s a shame you didn’t get to use the log burner. I can assure you that there is a carbon monoxide detector along with all other health and safety requirements. We look forward to welcoming you back. Property Owner

“The cottage was lovely & very well equipped.”

We enjoyed our stay very much in a peaceful location with dog walks on your doorstep & well placed to visit the surrounding area.

Ellie July 2023

“We really enjoyed our stay in your cottage.”

It is beautiful and the beds were so comfy. Unfortunately there were multiple cobwebs all over the property, flies in the kitchen and dust on some surfaces. Cleaning supplies were extremely low or empty i.e hand wash was nearly empty and disinfectant too. I would suggest a larger sofa that would seat 4 people to make it just that little comfier. On the other hand, you did really have everything to help us and it felt like a home away from home. The welcome pack informing us of some great places and the book recommendations for restaurants was a must. We also enjoyed reading through the guest book for suggestions which were great!

- Ellie, July 2023

Thankyou so much for the positive feedback. There seems to have been some oversights by our management company. I have passed in your observations to the head of team and she will be reiterating the matter. Reminding staff to refill soap etc with every clean. We employ a high level maintenance team to take care of the cottage and as you probably have notice, we normally score very high for cleanliness. We apologise for the flies buzzing about but at this time of year there are many. Especially in the country side. So pleased all of this didn’t spoil your trip and we very much look forward to welcoming you back. Property Owner

Joanne March 2023

“I would indeed like to give some feed back and speak to someone when this is read.”

As we lost our last day and following morning as we had no hot water or heating we had to wait for someone to arrive and the cleaning team came to fix the boiler. They were very helpful but I'm pretty sure there not qualified to do boiler repairs which didnt fix the issue. It was absolutely freezing in the cottage I sent email's and made calls and got no response. We left at 5 in the morning as it was cold and the smell of burining from the boiler was to much to take and we had no idea if we were safe. I would like a response urgently please.

- Joanne, March 2023

Dear Joanne, Thankyou so much for your feedback. I’m so sorry to hear your last evening of your holiday was spoiled by this incident. I do believe Sykes have already promptly dealt with your complaint before this was published. Indeed, the maintenance team are not qualified heating engineers and I understand the earliest this could be arranged was first thing, the following morning. Thankfully they arrived on time and the problem was quickly resolved. I’m guessing, you must have run low on logs as I know the burner can heat the whole cottage toasty warm. We’re extremely sorry this happened during your visit and can assure you, it isn’t a common occurrence. Kindest regards Melanie Property Owner

Peter December 2022

“A characterful and well equipped cottage in a delightfully tranquil location.”

We felt especially welcome on arrival, because the property was warm, there was wood for the burner, washing up essentials, and wine and cookies on the table. Camerton Hall Lodge provided us with a lovely, cosy Christmas, for which we are grateful to the owners.

- Peter, December 2022
Shauni December 2022

“Lots of beautiful places to walk.”

- Gaynor, October 2022

Dear Gaynor We are horrified to hear this. As owners of the cottage we will look in to the matter. This really is unacceptable and hope that it’s a one off incident. We will contact you in due course Property Owner
Molly October 2022

“Had a lovely stay at Camerton Hall Cottage this week.”

Very comfortable, great walks straight from the cottage and central to the lakes too. We would of loved to use the fire one evening however there wasn't any fire lighters the night we wanted to use it and too late to head to the shops. But apart from this was a lovely stay. Would highly reccommend and would definitely return again

- Molly, October 2022

We’re delighted you enjoyed you stay. I’m very sorry to hear you couldn’t use the fire. We usually supply a starter pack of logs and kindling. We will take this matter up with our maintenance company. Hope we can welcome you back soon. Property Owner
Graham August 2022

“The cottage is great and the location is fab for easy access to the surrounding coast and towns and walks.”

One observation would be that after a day out with 3 hungry adults and a teenager there wasn't a large saucepan or casserole in which we could cook enough pasta or potatoes in one go to feed everyone so we used all the small pans but otherwise the kitchen was well equipped. We and our little dog loved our stay and would recommend the cottage as a perfect base for the Lakes and the Cumbrian coast.

- Graham, August 2022

We’re delighted you enjoyed stay at Camerton Hall cottage. We appreciate your feedback and have provided a large pan for hungry tums. We’d love to welcome you back. Property Owner

Claire December 2021

“Had an amazing stay at Camerton Hall Cottage.”

Anything we could have wished for was already provided. Extra blankets for cosy evenings in, including one for your dog. Step out of the door straight onto a country lane and whichever direction you walk you find yourself in countryside. The River Derwent is only 2 minutes away and is a lovely walk. There are no streetlights nearby, so the stars are amazing and there are so many owls around! All in all we had a fabulous time and would definitely come back next time!

- Claire, December 2021

Thank you for your lovely comments. We are so pleased you enjoyed your visit and look forward to welcoming you back to Camerton Hall Cottage. Property Owner

The property

Idyllically positioned in the rural countryside of Camerton, in the sought-after county of Cumbria, rests this charming whitewashed holiday home, Camerton Hall Cottage.

Thought to be the former gatehouse for the neighbouring Georgian manor house of Camerton Hall, Camerton Hall Cottage boasts a warming and homely interior, making the perfect base for a retreat to the country.

Park up in the off-road parking space before unloading your bags and stepping inside the lovely dwelling and into a handy hallway space, where you can kick off your muddy boots and hang your walking gear before continuing through to discover more of the delights of your new home-from-home.

Entering through the rustic stable door, be charmed by the quaint and homely décor of the open-plan living/dining room, thoughtfully laid-out with a sumptuous sofa nestled alongside a pair of armchairs gathered in front of a warming woodburning stove, providing the perfect setting for cosy nights in around the fire with your loved ones.

When stomachs start to rumble, discover the spacious well-equipped kitchen tucked away at the rear of the property, flooded with natural light welcomed in through the elegant skylight and renovated to a high standard with an effortless blend of contemporary and traditional décor, with exposed wooden beams and glossy granite worktops.

Make use of the rustic range cooker to prepare some tasty treats for the group before gathering together at the nearby dining table to serve the fruits of your labor, backed by the peaceful views of the surrounding greenery.

Carry the conversation outdoors with a sociable seat on the private patio; a truly lovely spot to soak in the last of the evening sun with your favourite tipple following a day packed full of adventure.

When sleep calls, retreat indoors to discover two sumptuous bedrooms, a king-size and a double, each serviced by the family bathroom, where guests can choose between an indulgent soak or a quick rinse.

Get to know the charming country town of Cockermouth, settled around the River Derwent, it is home to an excellent array of local businesses and shops to browse, as well as being the birthplace of Wordsworth and home to the National Trust's Wordsworth House and Garden, also boasting pubs and restaurants.

A stroll further afield will bring you into the heart of the village of Seaton, where you'll find all of your local amenities, including a well-stocked convenience store, perfect for picking up any last-minute essentials, and two traditional country pubs, serving hearty homecooked meals alongside a range of drinks, including crisp pints of real ale and quirky cocktails; if you time it right, you might even catch a spot of live music!

The town of Workington is within easy reach, idyllically positioned on the coastline of the Irish Sea, home to the ruins of the sought-after manor house, Workington Hall, along with a fabulous selection of amenities including a bustling high-street and a delicious selection of eateries to suit all tastes and budgets.

Whilst you're in the area, be sure to pack your walking boots and head to the picturesque landscape of the Lake District National Park, where you can discover the largest lake and the highest mountain in the country and spend days exploring the delights of the towns of Bowness, Ambleside and Kendal to name a few.

Retreat to the country with an unforgettable stay at Camerton Hall Cottage.

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.

Please Note - There is only one car parking space for this property and this is marked clearly marked on the wall.
