A lovely old cottage in the very pleasant town of Cockermouth.The facilities were very good and the owners had thought of everything that might be needed to make the place feel like home. The shower was excellent and the kitchen very well kitted out.The bed was comfortable with lovely clean sheets that thankfully did not smell of the fake perfumes seemed to be used everywhere these days. A wonderful place to stay and a great base to visit the beautiful lake district.

Our stay at this lovely holiday cottage in Cockermouth was absolutely perfect for our family of four and our dog. đŸâ€ïžThe cottage had everything we needed for a comfortable stay, and its location was ideal. Just a short walk into town for plenty of shops, food and drink. There were also lots of lovely dog walks nearby, which our dog thoroughly enjoyed!Having parking was a real bonus too. It meant we could head out for days exploring the beautiful surrounding area without worrying about finding a space when we got back.A lovely, comfortable cottage in a great location, weâd happily stay here again! đđĄđ¶
