Situated in a quiet residential area a short walk from Cockermouth town centre, with local amenities on your doorstep. A great retreat for couples or a family looking to explore the Lakes.

This fresh, light and bright property sits in a residential area in the lovely market town of Cockermouth. Sleeping five people across three bedrooms and welcoming one canine companion, it’s the perfect holiday home for small families or groups of friends who want to experience all the adventure and relaxation that the Lake District has to offer. Spend your days stand-up paddleboarding on Buttermere Lake and your evenings checking out the local pub scene in Cockermouth.

 

Kick off your day with a coffee on the pretty patio area. Plan the day ahead as any kids in your party enjoy the freedom in the enclosed garden. After a fabulous day immersing yourself in the tranquillity of Buttermere Lake, return to your retreat and cook up a feast in the sleek, contemporary kitchen. Eat together in the dining area, which has lovely garden views. After dinner, enjoy a glass of something cool and crisp on the patio, or make your way to the living room, slip onto the sofa in front of the electric coal-effect fire, and watch your favourite TV shows. When the day is done, there are two comfortable bedrooms on the first floor to choose from.

 

There’s a wonderfully quiet wild-swimming spot at Crummock Water (7.5 miles). Crummock has no annoying traffic, so there’s a good chance you’ll have it all to yourself. Alternatively, spend a pleasant afternoon discovering the whisky, vodka and gin at the Lakes Distillery (5.5 miles), which is located in a beautifully restored Victorian farmstead where alpacas roam the grounds. Foodies are sure to love the ‘Whisky and Chocolate Pairing’ tour. And if you don’t want to cook in the evening, just head into the heart of Cockermouth (1 mile), where there’s a whole host of fantastic eateries to discover.

A really homely place - spacious, well equipped but still plenty of space to store your own supplies etc. Two fridges and a freezer. We've stayed there before and were very happy to return. Easy walk into Cockermouth, nice garden and easy parking. Quiet area and dog friendly which is a real plus.

The house was perfect. It was lovely and clean, spacious and comfortable. We loved the sunny garden. We appreciated the goodies left for us on arrival and nice that the host checked in with us by texting to make sure we were happy. Perfect location to explore the north lakes.

Loved the cottage, very well equipped and clean, nice location for walking only 15 mins into the town centre. Nice garden to the rear of the property, great for dogs, and lovely seating areas to enjoy a wine or two.

Really lovely place. Initially reserved on account of the enclosed garden for the dogs and the close proximity to the town, however the house was far nicer than I had expected, the photos do not do it justice! They let us have an early check in too which was really appreciated!

Jenny was very helpful and easy to contact. We had a welcome pack, including treats for the dog when we arrived. The location is very good for walks into town, or around the area and lovely parks. The enclosed garden for the dog was great, with nice seating areas, though too cool / wet whilst we were there.
