Make your great escape to the tranquil Cumbrian village of Mockerkin and settle for the duration at this two-bedroom, ground-floor apartment. Enjoy the holiday accommodation as a base from which to explore this corner of the Lake District, on foot, by bicycle or even on horseback from Ennerdale Bridge, 5.5 miles away. Drive 6 miles to Crummock Water to hike round the lake or hire rowing boats to go out on the water. Spend the afternoon in Cockermouth, also 6 miles away, where William Wordsworth was born. Visit his childhood home, take a tour of the local brewery and choose between a fine selection of cafes, pubs and restaurants when it comes to dining out.

Step into this ground-floor apartment and find yourselves in a generous hall where you can slip off your shoes and hang your raincoats and jackets. Make your way into the lounge/dining room to take a little time out after your long journey. Settle on the comfortable seating to chat about your plans, choose a book, watch the TV, with Freeview, or enjoy a DVD together. On warm days open the doors on to the shared courtyard to let in a summer breeze. As mealtimes beckon, head through into the kitchen to whip up delicious dishes. Discover all you need here, including an electric oven and hob, with extractor, a microwave, fridge and four-slice toaster. There is a useful washer/dryer too, plus a freezer in a separate cupboard. When dinner is ready pull the chairs up to the table in the lounge/diner. From the hall, make your way into the bedrooms, which include a double, with en-suite shower room, with handbasin and WC, and a twin. The family bathroom, with its bath, with shower above, WC and handbasin, is also here.

Enjoy the shared courtyard whenever the weather is fine. A total of four holiday homes have access to this. Dine out here or take a cup of tea into the sunshine after a long day out exploring. There is a parking area at the property.

Lovely break in the Lake District. Although too cold to enjoy any walks or treks it was nice to have a change of scenery over Christmas. The cottage was well equipped in a little village just outside cockermouth. Fab views over the fells. Think it will be a beautiful place to visit in spring or summer. Would come back as according to messages in guRead moreest book many people have. Hide
