Overview
Property code: SZ129

Set in the pretty village of Papcastle, this property sleeps two and is an ideal base for outdoor enthusiasts. Discover historic remnants dating back to the Roman period as you explore your surroundings, venturing the 1-mile route into Cockermouth for a healthy dose of retail therapy. You’ll have plenty of choice when it comes to dining, and more adventurous guests may like to work up an appetite with a riverside stroll. Adrenaline enthusiasts can scale the heights of Skiddaw 17.5 miles away, or enjoy a spot of wild swimming at Crummock Water 9.5 miles away. Weary from your day, return to your cosy abode to light the wood burner and relax with a glass of wine.

Simply styled and comfortable throughout, your accommodation is tailored for couples and offers a restful haven after a busy day. Enter via the porch to find a homely lounge/diner with a TV, sofas, a dining table and a feature sandstone fireplace with a wood burner to enjoy cosy evenings in. The kitchen is equipped with an electric cooker, fridge/freezer, microwave and a washing machine to meet all your culinary and laundry needs, and a door leads out into the garden. Steep stairs lead up to the first floor, where you will find the snug bedroom with its double bed and bedside table. The bathroom features a shower over the bath and a WC.

Towards the front of the property is a small country-cottage yard, and the enclosed rear garden is mainly set to lawn with mature trees and shrubbery. Seating is available for you to sit and unwind with your first coffee of the day.

This is a cute cosy cottage, lovely comfy bed and sofa. Nice log burner with plenty of logs supplied. Perfect for couples and a dog. Little garden and back yard. Steep winder staircase which was ok for us but may be a challenge if any problems with mobility.

On street parking which is outside cottage. Hide

On the plus side the cottage was in a good location, warm, with hot water and reasonably comfortable. However it was very poorly equipped for a week's stay - my food froze in the fridge, (other guests had mentioned this in the visitors book), pans were warped and wouldn't work on the hob, kitchen utensils were poor. I found the mattress (memory foaRead morem?) hot. Overall the cottage was a tired and could do with a bit of TLC. It would be ok for a weekend but I wouldn't stay for a week. Hide

There is nothing more that could have been done to make the beautiful cottage any better. It was so welcoming, people in the area were very nice and friendly, the location was stunning.

Nice compact cottage in a lovely area. Although small great use of the available space so very well equipped. It was cold and dark when we arrived but the heating was on and nice fresh flowers, choc cookies, tea and coffee in the welcome pack. There was even a bag of treat biscuits and toys left out for the dog. Exceptionally clean 10/10.

We stayed at Cherry Tree Cottage for a birthday treat and it was the perfect place for us, especially having the wood burner for the evenings making it very cozy. The location is lovely and just a 15 minute walk into Cockermouth where there are lots of places to eat and drink. Would definitely return in the future.

Lovely cozy cottage. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and it was a beautiful little haven to return to after some very wet and windy walks. The dogs particularly enjoyed curling up in front of the log burner.
