This recently refurbished (2023) three-storey townhouse is perfectly located in the centre of the bustling market town of Cockermouth on the edge of the Lake District National Park. Take a trip to the childhood home of famous poet William Wordsworth and explore the beautiful gardens which offer a peaceful retreat from the busy town centre. Cockermouth has an abundance of local shops, art galleries, cafes, pubs and restaurants. Pack your hiking boots and explore the lakes of Bassenthwaite, Buttermere, Crummock and Loweswater, all within an 11-mile radius. Animal lovers will enjoy a trip to Lake District Wildlife Park (7 miles) whilst thrill seekers will love Whinlatter Forest (7 miles) where you can Go Ape or hire bikes to explore the forest trails. The popular market town of Keswick is only 14 miles where you can hire a boat or take a cruise on Derwentwater to enjoy the stunning scenery of the fells.

As you step through the front door of this stylish and contemporary townhouse, you're immediately greeted by the spacious lounge area. With its high ceilings and large windows, the room feels light and airy. The centrepiece is undoubtedly the cosy wood burner, perfect for relaxing while watching the Smart TV after a busy day’s exploring.

We had a great time at Chestnut Hill Cottage and would book again. Very well located for the town centre , which was why we chose it . The Bitter End pub does great food and is just down the road ! Other good pubs nearby. All dog friendly too ! The house is very comfortable, no problem with parking, and our friends used the recommended parking nearRead moreby. Cockermouth is a very friendly town , and well located for travelling further and enjoying the Lakes. We will be back ! Hide

The cottage is very central to the town, easy to walk to shops and local pub. Garden was a huge disappointment. There was a lot of dead plants and pots just left lying around. Wasnt very inviting to sit out there. Could do with some TLC No internal door shut fully due to roll type latch therefore we struggled to stop the dogs going into rooms we diRead morednt want them in and I guess would not make them private if a group of people stayed. We had a nice week but a few tweaks needed. Hide

An excellent choice for a group/family stay. Very clean, comfortable and well equipped. Bed linen was a definite delight. For a few hours pottering Cockermouth has some great shops to wander into. For hiking, canoeing, climbing etc. it makes an excellent base for all of these.
