“What a treat it was to stay in Carole and Ians beautiful home.”

The location was perfect sat right on the river, the house was a home from home with everything you need for a comfortable, luxury break. We felt so welcomed and cared for, everything was just perfect! Carole is a wonderful, generous host and the welcome pack was a fabulous surprise. We had a lovely break made all the easier with a relaxing home to return to.

“We could not fault our stay.”

There were friendly helpful messages from the owner before we arrived and a welcome pack that included chocolate and wine. The house was very well equipped and comfortable. The location was excellent. Although it was only a short distance from the town centre and supermarkets it felt like we were in the countryside.

Bryony March 2024

“Beautiful house, perfectly located only a few minutes walk from the centre of Cockermouth and with free parking (which is a super hard find so close to town!”

). The has everything you could need on your trip and the owner left lots of lovely welcome touches, including everything you need for a nice brew on arrival, especially appreciated since we didn't have the best weather! Communication from the owner before and during our trip was very informative and timely, highly recommended this cottage.

- Bryony, March 2024
Paul December 2023

“A lovely riverside house, which was pretty much perfect.”

Comfy sofas, nice and warm, great beds and a well equipped kitchen. Very quiet, but only a couple of minutes walk into town. Cockermouth itself, for those that don't know, is a great base for the Northern half of the Lakes. More of a "real" place than Keswick so not as much of a honeypot as the likes of Keswick and Ambleside, which is either a plus or a minus depending on what you're after !

- Paul, December 2023
Jill December 2023

“Can’t recommend this property enough.”

Gorgeous little house in a perfect location with free parking. A very quiet location within 2 mins of all of what Cockermouth has to offer. The property is like home from home and has everything you could need on your trip. Communication from the owner before and during our trip was perfect and the lovely welcome hamper was outstanding. Beautifully decorated for the festive season which made it even more special.

- Jill, December 2023
Ian June 2023

“Spent a lovely week at this cottage as a family of five.”

Plenty of space as the property is much larger than the initial photo would indicate. Property has great facilities with lots of little touches. Welcome pack was excellent and a lovely touch. Communication with the owner before and during the stay was excellent.

- Ian, June 2023
James May 2023

“This property is set in a great location next to the river Cocker with everything in the town within walking distance.”

The house was very clean, comfortable and beautifully presented, but what impressed the most was the number of little touches around the house which made this trip away extra special. The owners communication was excellent and always on hand if needed.

- James, May 2023
Kathleen March 2023

Thank-you, Selina, for that lovely comment, it was a pleasure to host you. You managed to walk around many of our local lakes, regardless of the inclement weather! Property Owner
Dhnah September 2021

“Difficulty to park.”

- Dhnah, September 2021

Hello Dhnah. I totally agree that Rubbybanks Road is a very narrow road and I think that your hire car was slightly wider than you were used to. I do provide a permit for handy carparks, but you were unfortunate to arrive when the very popular Cockermouth Food Festival was in full swing and everywhere was much busier than usual. I hope that you will journey north to visit again in the future. Property Owner
Sam August 2021

“Perfect from the journey up.”

Great communication and a lovely welcome pack. The facilities were great and there was everything you needed in the kitchen. Great location for some great walking and great local amenities. Would definitely recommend the accommodation for anyone planning a visit to the lakes.

- Sam, August 2021

Thank-you, Sam, for your super feedback. So pleased that you enjoyed your stay and would love to see you again next time you visit the Lakes. Property Owner
Eliza August 2021

“What an excellently situated house for a trip to Cockermouth.”

Easy walking distance to shops, pubs, restaurants. So grateful for the parking permit which we used outside the house, and the car park permit for the car park over the river. We took 2 cars! The house was sparkling and clean, and the gifts from the host were generous and unexpected. It was such a bonus to find tea bags and milk upon arrival. Plus cake crisps and wine! Lovely treats. Definitely looking to return.

- Eliza, August 2021

Thanks for the great feedback Eliza, it is great to hear that you made use of the parking permit over the footbridge- and managed to park on our narrow Rubbybanks Road too! You sound as though you made excellent use of the proximity of town to walk to some of our many pubs and restaurants. Looking forward to your return one day. Property Owner
Magdalena July 2021

“Cosy cottage with everything you need, with excellent location by the pictures river and very good situated for exploring Lake District.”

Caring host. Lovely and really appreciated welcome package.

- Magdalena, July 2021
Helen July 2021

“Fabulous house, clean, and lots of nice touches including unexpected complimentary treats ( for us and our dog) on arrival.”

Carole, the host, kept in touch with us and checked everything was OK regularly, and offered some great advice on local eating and activities. We loved hearing the river as we slept - very zen and we loved Cockermouth which was not as hectic as the more touristy towns so we came back to quieter supermarkets and restaurants at the end of the day, yet it had its own charm. Near enough to enjoy all the walking and outdoor activities of the northern lakes - we even had fish and chips on the beach at Maryport ( 15 minutes away).

- Helen, July 2021
Beverley June 2021

“The house has everything you need for a very comfortable stay, and is in a lovely spot, convenient for the town centre and also walks along the river.”

The owner is very helpful, with great communication. There are some outdoor tables and chairs in the back yard, which was where we spent a lot of our time, which catch the sun from late morning until the end of the day.

- Beverley, June 2021
Tracy May 2021

“We had a lovely stay at Rubby Banks again, it is a lovely cottage and the sound of the river running past is very relaxing.”

It was spotlessly clean and the messages from Carole before and during the stay were very much appreciated. i would highly recommend to anyone looking to stay near the lakes.

- Tracy, May 2021
Christine May 2021

- Christine, May 2021
Rebecca May 2021

“Carol went above and beyond to ensure we had a lovely stay and all our needs were met.”

- Rebecca, May 2021
Bonita October 2020

“Right from the beginning, the owners made you feel welcome and important.”

The communication before our trip was excellent and the advice given was great. When we arrived, it was lovely and warm and there were some 'goodies' waiting for us, which was lovely. The accommodation is fantastic, very clean, everything you need in a home. That would be how I describe the house - it is a home. Thoroughly recommend and looking forward to visiting again. Thanks for a spectacular place to stay.

- Bonita, October 2020
Ian October 2020

“Excellent accommodation in the heart of Cockermouth but neatly tucked away and without any traffic noise.”

Good view of the River Cocker from many windows. Close to shops (e.g Sainsburys) and good cafes. Very clean and comfortable with an excellent boiler heating system as well as two gas fires. Good bathroom (1st floor) and en-suite (2nd floor) facilities. A superbly equipped kitchen which had absolutely everything we needed for cooking/ eating in. Very convenient to have both a dining room and lounge. Carole left us a very generous welcome hamper of fruit, chocolate and prosecco which set us up nicely on arrival and beyond. Highly recommended!

- Ian, October 2020
Ginny September 2020

“So perfectly located in Cockermouth with a short drive to the Northern Lakes or coast.”

The house was very comfortable and cosy. The owner was extremely helpful and welcoming. There was only one problem- we wished we had booked 2 weeks not 1. One of our favourite holiday homes now. Lovely memories made !! Thank you.

- Ginny, September 2020
Louise September 2020

“Absolutely fantastic house, exceptionally clean lovely welcome card cake, wine, chocolate and fruit.”

Owner contacted us prior to arrival and dropped a note of following day. The house has everything you can need and was extremely comfortable. I would highly recommend and it’s a credit to the owners and would definitely stay there again.

- Louise, September 2020
John August 2020

“I can highly recommend this property and would certainly return in future.”

Spacious, comfortable and excellent facilities, in a picturesque spot overlooking the river and close to the centre of this characterful town. It's perfectly located for exploring the beautiful, tranquil northern and western Lake District, as well as the lovely, remote beaches of the Solway Coast. Carole the owner is really welcoming and helpful. Altogether our family group of 5 (and dog) were very satisfied with our stay!

- John, August 2020
Samantha July 2020

“We chose Rubbybanks because of the excellent reviews and we were not disappointed.”

5 star holiday let. Carole the Friendly owner met us at the property. The house was bigger than we expected, very comfortable, home from home. The house is so well equipt with everything you could possibly need. We were left lots of welcoming treats, a lovely cake and treats, blankets and a bed for our dog. Cockermouth was nice and quiet which is what we wanted. Perfect for exploring all the beautiful lakes, not far from anywhere. Will definitely use again.

- Samantha, July 2020
Tom November 2019

“An outstanding property with a superb landlady.”

The best Sykes property we have used by a country mile

- Tom, November 2019
Linda October 2019

“A very warm welcome from Carol and Ian, like a home from home.”

The property had everything we could have needed. It was very well equipped and maintained, very handy for the town centre and also within easy reach of the western lakes. We very much enjoyed the fruit, wine and cake that greeted us on arrival. It was a wonderfully cosy place to return to after a day out if rather mixed weather!

- Linda, October 2019
Alyson July 2019

“This is our 2nd time staying at this property as we were so blown away with it last time.”

It just offers everything we are looking for in a holiday home away from home but with the extra little touches provided by the owners of fresh flowers and welcome fruit basket with home baked cake and a bottle of wine. These are little things that really make you feel special. The location is fabulous for all the surrounding villages and towns to visit and if you wanted to remain in Cockermouth there are many shops, cafes, pubs and gardens to spend your time visiting all within walking distance of the property. It is spotless clean and for 4 adults in our party more than enough room to cater for us all to have as much personal space as we want while roomy enough for us to have dinner in the dining room followed by a game or two from the selection of games in the house. Parking permit for right out side the gate and another permit for the car park right across the road over a small footbridge make this perfect for more than 1 car families and the permit also allows you free parking in the surrounding towns which is an added bonus. it really is a fabulous house and one that we will keep coming back to for as long as we can

- Alyson, July 2019
Christine June 2019

“Very well equipped, comfortable accommodation.”

Everything had been thought of and the welcome pack was very generous. A lovely setting.

- Christine, June 2019
Alison April 2019

“A fantastic cottage clean and warm on arrival with lovely touches flowers on the table fruit basket wine, chocolate and cake left for us.”

A little note to let us know of a previous issue and a contact number if we had any trouble which we didn’t. Slept well with the sound of the river and no traffic noise 10/10

- Alison, April 2019
Tracy April 2019

“Lovely cottage with beautiful views over the river.”

Lots of welcoming touches ie fruit, chocolate and cake. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to stay in Cockermouth.

- Tracy, April 2019
Tim April 2019

Her attention to detail was first class. This is an excellent place to stay.

- Tim, April 2019
Jennifer February 2019

“We stayed at 1 Rubby Banks and we had such a wonderful time.”

The cottage had everything we needed, cooking facilities, washing machine, dishwasher, etc.. and it was very comfortable for 5 of us. On arrival, we were pleasantly suprised by the fruits, wine, chocolate and lemon drizzle cake that were waiting for us - such a lovely gesture. We had a minor issue during our stay and it was dealt with very promptly and efficiently. Carole is a fantastic landlady and I would stay there again if we are in Cockermouth. I would not hesitate to recommend 1 Rubby Banks to anyone looking for somewhere to stay in Cockermouth. Thanks Carole for everything.

- Jennifer, February 2019
Janet February 2019

Cheryl November 2018

“My husband and I stayed on the top floor with views over the pretty river, only thing we would have loved is a larger bed as we are used to a kingsize, but unfortunately my teenagers and mother in law had the kingsize which the owner had kindly changed to a twin bed for us.”

They stayed on the middle floor and all slept really well. Stairs to the top floor are steep,but we had read this on another review so were prepared and they weren't a problem at all. The house is situated a very short walk from main street, shops, local pubs and restaurants. The Bitter End pub was nice, friendly staff, tasty food and dog friendly. 15 minutes to Maryport, the closest seaside town and 30 minutes to st bees head which sadly we didn't get chance to visit this time. The northern and western lakes are my favourite and are truly breathtaking, all a short drive away through stunning scenery, (checkers from the usual lakes, check out Surprise View over Derwent water and Moss Falls, with a cheeky stop off for refreshments at The Chalet in Portinscale on the way - love that place! If its your first time to the area, you won't be disappointed. Rubbybanks makes for a perfect and comfortable base, thank you Carole for all the little extra touches, I'm sure we shall be returning!

- Cheryl, November 2018

“Rubby Banks is a fabulous holiday home, facilities were perfect and some lovely welcoming touches added!”

Cockermouth itself is a lovely town, plenty to see and do nearby. All in all a great family holiday.

- Alexis, August 2018
Ann July 2018

“Cockermouth is a lovely place the accommodation was in a perfect location which suited our needs.”

The parking wasn't ideal but the use of the parking permit more than made up for it. The accommodation was immiculate and all our needs were met.

- Ann, July 2018
Gilian July 2018

“We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Cockermouth at 1 Rubby Banks.”

The house has been completely refurbished and is very comfortable and well-equipped. Because the weather was so amazing, we were able to eat all our meals out-of-doors. If there was anything which could be improved, it would be the outside area at the rear of the property although it was perfectly satisfactory. There was a lovely welcome gift of a plentiful and varied bowl of fresh fruit, a bottle of wine and some chocolate, all of which were very acceptable. We loved being so near the river Cocker and being able to hear the sound of the water. Vehicular access to the house is a bit tricky down narrow roads and although it can be possible to park outside, it is not a designated place although we were fortunate right up until the last evening when we arrived home fairly late to find it taken. There is a public car park across the river, accessed by a footbridge but it is a bit of a detour to drive there owing to one-way streets. However, a parking permit for this and other car parks in Allerdale was provided which was a nice touch and saved us quite a bit of money during the week. Cockermouth is a lovely little town with some interesting independent shops, a couple of supermarkets and a plethora of cafes, restaurants and pubs so plenty of choice. It is also a good centre for the surrounding area. We would happily return to Cockermouth and to the house.

- Gilian, July 2018
Karen June 2018

“We had a great time, the property is excellent and very well equipped.”

The weather had also been arranged for us!! We really enjoyed Cockermouth, whilst there are plenty of pubs/restaurants the house was in a very quiet area. Highly recommended!

- Karen, June 2018
Alyson June 2018

“Location is like something from a postcard, river views and a gorgeous outside seating area at the back, secure and dog friendly which is always a plus for us.”

The accommodation was immaculate and Carol had also left us a welcome pack, wine, bread, butter, milk, tea/coffee, dog treats and fresh flowers, it was very very nice. The area is so quiet and yet you are a 2 minute walk from the town centre which is lovely to wander along the streets and take in the lovely little shops, all dog friendly and welcoming. We would absolutely stay here again as everything was just perfect for 2 adults and 2 teenagers with 1 small dog.

- Alyson, June 2018
Angela June 2018

“A very enjoyable stay in a lovely, cosy well catered for home.”

The contact from owners was helpful and informative. The property has everything you need. The welcome pack (coffee, tea, jam, chocolate, fresh bread, milk, butter) and delicious homemade cake were well received. Already looking for an excuse to come back and stay again.

- Angela, June 2018
Belinda May 2018

“Absolutely fantastic place, great location had everything thing we needed.”

Tastefully decorated. The only problem is that it's not ours! Thanks for making us so welcome

- Belinda, May 2018
Susan March 2018

“The owners have done absolutely everything possible to make visitors feel so welcome, including a wonderful Easter basket full of goodies.”

Home baked cake no less! Grannie, had en suite on the second floor whilst son and two year old grandson shared two bedrooms and bathroom on first floor. Parking with permit just two mins across the bridge was brilliant. Weather very mixed including snow but utility room proved invaluable. Great gas fires in addition to central heating. Cosy rugs to curl up with to watch TV and films. Glorious day on penultimate day which was spent around Bassenthwaite lake. Up on Whinlatter with my cumbrian family walking the Gruffalo trail whilst older members had lunch in Armathwaite Hall brasserie overlooking the lake and Skiddaw. Magical. Do your homework and find all the indoor and outdoor activities. We went to the Aquarium at Maryport on a really wet day. The children loved it. Picnic in the cars on the promenade. Great warm swimming at Workington's new complex for £1 for children. Never mind Keswick's two exceptional parks!

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: Bookings can only begin on a Friday or Monday.
