This is our favourite cottage in Cockermouth. We come here a lot to see family. It is really nicely decorated, and is beautifully set back in its own courtyard garden, very peaceful. It has a parking space nearby.

Super holiday cottage. It gave us the perfect base for our holiday. It was incredibly comfortable and pleasant. The garden, and particularly the perfectly placed swing chair, was a real additional delight.
