Description
Located on the edge of the Lake District National Park, this holiday cottage is the perfect base to explore the northern Lake District and Western Fells. This retreat is also set just 4 miles from the Georgian market town of Cockermouth, the birthplace of William Wordsworth and home to an array of shops and eateries. The coastal town of Maryport is less than 3 miles away and boasts a sandy shingle beach, a Roman museum and a harbourside aquarium. There s a fantastic choice of local distilleries and breweries where you can book tasting sessions and tours, or you can simply nip down the road to the village gastropub, serving great food and local ales. If you re looking for something more adventurous, take up wild swimming in one of the surrounding lakes including Loweswater, Crummock Water and Bassenthwaite, all within 12 miles or try walking an alpaca or abseil nearly 40 metres into a disused quarry these are just a few of the activities on offer locally! This property has been refurbished to a high standard throughout. Entering the property from the back of the house, the entrance is through the conservatory which has built in storage for storing your coats and shoes.

There is a handy utility room off the kitchen with a washing machine, WC and sink. The lounge has a contemporary design with lots of windows flooding light into the room.
