    “After a 4 hour drive to visit my son for our early Christmas we did struggle to find it in the dark but the people in the village were lovely and helpful.”

    On entering we were happy with the house itself. It's a good standard of finish and plenty of room for our needs. I had read previous reviews and although cooking a Xmas dinner in an oven that doesn't close properly was a challenge I can get over that. I did however struggle without tongues in the "fully equipped kitchen". I do feel this needs revising. Our comfort was met in the living and dining area but alas sleep was not easy.

    On entering we were happy with the house itself. It's a good standard of finish and plenty of room for our needs. I had read previous reviews and although cooking a Xmas dinner in an oven that doesn't close properly was a challenge I can get over that. I did however struggle without tongues in the "fully equipped kitchen". I do feel this needs revising. Our comfort was met in the living and dining area but alas sleep was not easy. A 4 night stay was reduced to 3 as my only option was to leave a day early due to the mattress. On every bed. It was discussed with the owner who could have been defensive and "off" but he accepted that it just was not comfortable. I was told the mattresses would be changed. I hope for the next people staying this is true.

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.
