About this property
Carpenters Cottage, a thoughtfully restored joiners workshop, sits on the edge of the glorious Lake District National Park, on the outskirts of the lovely market town of Cockermouth. With astounding countryside, the coastline of Solway and a wealth of fascinating towns within easy distance to explore, this is a wonderful stay for a small family or a group of friends wishing to get away. Feel instantly welcomed by the property's tasteful interior, it comes with unique reverse-level accommodation meaning that both the beautifully finished king-size and twin bedrooms are found on the ground floor. Also on this level you will find an immaculate, brightly tiled bathroom offering the choice of a bath and a walk-in shower cubicle.
The living area thoughtfully rests on the first floor of the cottage as it makes the most of the natural light flooding in from the Velux windows. Comforting and open-plan, this layout has all that you need from a fully-equipped and first class kitchen to a snug seating area for all to enjoy, plus attractive exposed beams bring a sense of charm to the place. To the outside of Carpenters Cottage, you’ll find a truly serene spot to sit out and enjoy a refreshing drink, or perhaps even a tasty alfresco meal. The lovely market town of Cockermouth lies just one mile away, the birthplace of William Wordsworth, is packed with charm as well as a multitude of wonderful spots to eat, drink and shop.
Visitors of all tastes will find this an ideal holiday base as walkers and cyclists can explore the magnificent Lake District, while the idyllic Solway Coast is also readily available. The characterful market town of Keswick is also within easy reach and is worth a day of exploring. Use this alluring getaway to truly unwind in the wonders of Cumbria and the Lake District.
The market town of Cockermouth is in the northwestern part of the Lake District. It was the birthplace of William Wordsworth and offers shops, pubs and places to eat. The main attraction of the area is the scenery and walking in the northern lakes – Bassenthwaite Lake, Ennerdale Water and Derwent Water are among the finest. Keswick is just 13 miles away and is worth a look.

It had everything you could want for a stay even bird food in the shed for the feeders ! . So comfortable and well laid out excellent property would highly recommend it . Its s good 20min walk into cockermouth so really quiet day and night . Opposite the entrance is the cemetery if you walk through there to the old railway line , turn left follow that till a big bridge over the river , go down some steps to the river and follow it into town . Nicer and easier than the road .

Short walk to town and with the benefit of two parking spacesâ¦.bedrooms are of generous size. It was ideal for us as our son and family live 2 minutes away. We wouldnât hesitate to recommend Carpenterâs Cottage and hope to be back. Many thanks to everyone involved. Maggie Greer

This was our third visit to carpenters cottage and we continue to love our stays here. It is well maintained and has everything you need. The welcome pack is a lovely touch. Rooms are spacious and tastefully decorated. We feel relaxed and at home from the moment we arrive. Hope to return again.
