The property

Dobbin the horse box in The Lake District is an inviting converted horse box tucked within the grounds of an historic manor house in Cockermouth, Cumbria, providing parking, private gardens and the glow of a woodburning stove.

Inside, the thoughtful studio-style open-plan layout features two double bunk beds, a neat, well-equipped kitchen and a compact dining area, all designed to make family living feel easy.

After a day out in the fresh Lakeland air, gather in the snug sitting area, let the woodburning stove flicker into life and unwind together with a film on the Smart TV or play a card game at the table. Outside space is a real highlight at this quirky retreat.

Throw open the door to the decked balcony, where outdoor furniture tempts you to linger over breakfast or share an evening drink while looking over the private gardens.

Make the most of fine weather with sizzling barbecues or homemade pizzas from the pizza oven, as children play nearby in their own play area and the dog enjoys the open air.

Family-friendly and pet-friendly, Dobbin the horse box in The Lake District is made for relaxed, sociable days and nights. From the manor grounds, stroll into Cockermouth to sample local shops and cafés and learn more about its links to the birthplace of William Wordsworth.

Spend time exploring nearby countryside, where waymarked routes and scenic viewpoints invite gentle rambles and longer walks alike.

Plan family outings around Bassenthwaite Lake, Derwentwater and Keswick, with opportunities for lakeside walks, picnics and rewarding day trips across this iconic region.

With so much to enjoy nearby, Dobbin the horse box in The Lake District in Cockermouth, Cumbria, sets the scene for a memorable Lake District holiday.

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.
