Property code: 87481

A first-floor apartment in the centre of Cockermouth that’s an ideal base for a couple or young family looking to explore the North Lakes and unspoilt Cumbrian coast.

Located just off Cockermouth’s main street, you will find a good selection of local independent shops and restaurants on your doorstep. The town is the birthplace of William Wordsworth, and his House and Gardens are just 150 metres away. Enjoy a walk along the River Derwent or head to The Lakes Distillery. In the summer, you can catch a complimentary bus to beautiful Buttermere from the town (runs from 17th July to 5th September). Walk from the centre of town onto the top of Watch Hill (3.5 miles) for a fabulous view across the Solway Firth to Scotland, or south to the hills and the northern valleys. Or, why not try out some of the bike tracks or Go Ape at Whinlatter Forest, only 7.5 miles away? Keswick is only 14 miles away and hosts the popular Mountain Festival annually with some world-class sports, outdoor activities, talks and films, with live music.

As you enter the property through its private entrance, you will find coat and boot storage just inside the front door. Head up the stairs to the first floor and you will find a bright and spacious lounge with a cosy corner sofa and wall-mounted Smart TV where you can catch up on your favourite series after a day out exploring. Off the lounge is the kitchen which is well equipped with an electric oven and hob, microwave a fridge with an ice compartment, and a washing machine. There is a dining table in the lounge where you can enjoy breakfast before heading out to explore. There is a pretty, single bedroom off the lounge, with a pull-out trundle bed which is ideal for children under 10 years, allowing the apartment to sleep four. Head back into the hallway and up the stairs to the second floor where you will find a double bedroom and a bathroom with a bath, separate shower and WC.

Accommodation Pros: Excellent location Cons: The photo of outside area is old - not as nice as it looks, now a little neglected. The opposite view they don't show is of about 8 wheelie bins. It mentions in the description you can "sip a coffee & enjoy the sunshine" in the outdoor space - there is no bench or seat on which to do this, you would haveRead more to stand. Main bed mattress needs replacing - roll together Corner sofa passed it's best needs replacing or repair No iron Hide

A great location to all the attraction in the Northern Lakes. To walk out onto the main street was fab and central to the whole town. The apartment was modernly furnished and nicely decorated. Need to mention only overnight parking on the streets and with the blue disc, still only one hours parking allowed. The beds were comfy, could do with comfy Read morepillows to match. The sofa was broken so got a bit uncomfortable to sit on for too long. Kitchen had everything you needed. Hide
