    Sorry to hear that your stay did not match your expectations , sadly prior to your arrival the hot water cylinder started leaking and a temporary fix was done prior to your arrival , we have since had a brand new cylinder fitted and a high pressure pump to improve the hot water tap pressure. We have also had a dehumidifier running to remove any damp caused by the leak. We value your feedback and always look to improve the property for future guests. Regarding the key , we use a simple key box for the key and the code is provided prior to your arrival , I fully understand that you could struggle if you are not familiar with how they operate but we are always just a phone call away to assist you. Parking is on Strand Street carpark and has recently changed from tap 2 park and the fees may have increased slightly to £6 per day. Property Owner

About the location

WHITEHAVEN

St Bees 2.6 miles; Ennerdale 11 miles; Loweswater 16 miles; Wasdale 19 miles; Keswick 21 miles; Bowness-on-Windermere 49.8 miles.

The West Cumbrian town of Whitehaven is situated on the coast between the sparkling sea and the Lakeland Fells. It was one of the first ‘planned’ towns in England and today can boast almost 250 Listed Georgian buildings and some beautiful parks and gardens. Today the town’s harbour is a designated conservation area and visitors can learn about the town’s history at the excellent Beacon Heritage Centre. The surrounding coastline has much to offer, not least its old smugglers villages, such as Ravenglass, and the red sandstone cliffs of pretty St Bees - now the start of Wainwright’s famous “Coast to Coast” Walk. Meanwhile inland you can enjoy the tranquillity of the Western lakes: Ennerdale, Loweswater, Crummock, Buttermere and Wastwater. Ennerdale is perhaps the most peaceful of all the lakes, with no public roads running along its National Trust owned shoreline.

Note: We don’t accept council or housing association bookings.
