    “Another great week, our third, at this holiday cottage, although there were a few issues this time- main one being the outside pipe running from the bath and sink upstairs - it had come loose which meant water shooting out all over the patio every time we had a bath or shower.”

    The owner did request someone to fix it but this didn't happen all the week we were there, also the tin opener didn't work so had to buy a new one, expensive - so took it home and reported this. We noted still no instructions for the dishwasher or cooker but we managed, likewise the heaters. Also the plaster flaking off the hallway wall was still as it was a year ago. Lastly, the rather extensive welcome pack we received last time was perhaps forgotten about as everyone else in the visitors ...

We noted still no instructions for the dishwasher or cooker but we managed, likewise the heaters. Also the plaster flaking off the hallway wall was still as it was a year ago. Lastly, the rather extensive welcome pack we received last time was perhaps forgotten about as everyone else in the visitors book waxed lyrical about the jams and bread etc, so a bit disappointing but thank you for the milk, tea and biscuits. Maybe this has been stopped? The owner is very nice and contactable and the cottage so nice to stay in, plentiful hot water, warm, comfortable - and parking on site - so definitely we will be back again.

This two-bedroom cottage is nestled within the centre of the ancient market town of Cockermouth, situated just outside of the Lake District National Park.

The property has been presented to a high standard throughout and is ideal for those looking for an adventure, whilst indulging in a spot of relaxation with loved ones.

The entrance porch is perfect for leaving your muddy boots and hanging your coats, before entering the spacious, open-plan living area.

A well-presented lounge area welcomes you, boasting a light decor and a thick, long-haired rug adding that homely feel to the room, perfect for unwinding of an evening in front of the warming electric woodburning stove.

Cockermouth is an ancient market town and has been ever-popular with tourists over the years for its wealth of attractions and easy access into the picturesque Lake District National Park.

The property is ideally placed overlooking the old Georgian building of Wordsworth House and Gardens, a must-see during your trip.

Discover several art exhibitions inside the Grade I listed building, with the interior being presented how it would have looked when the famous poet himself lived there with his sister Doris - an excellent viewing pleasure for those literary enthusiasts.

For a taste of history, visit Cockermouth Castle, a lovely historic building, also with Grade I listed status and dating back to the 12th century, set in stunning landscaped gardens and offers viewers a look into historical architecture.

The Lake District National Park has plenty of countryside sights, with opportunities for walking and cycling, whilst a selection of nearby lakes are perfect for those keen fishers.

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 that this property can only accept 7 night bookings and the booking would need to start on a Saturday.
