  • A delightful apartment on the ground floor of a terraced Georgian house
  • Peaceful location in the hamlet of Dubwath, perfect for a relaxing break
  • Situated almost between Keswick and Cockermouth, two of the Lake District’s loveliest towns
Overview
Property code: SZ431

The perfect base for outdoor enthusiasts who will find walking, hiking, mountain biking and water sports on the doorstep.

Settle in for a break at this airy apartment at Dubwath, close to the shores of Lake Bassenthwaite and 5.5 miles from Cockermouth, and ensure your four-legged friend has an incredible stay as well. The two-bedroom, ground-floor apartment sleeps up to four guests and is also a paws-down winner for one canine companion. Strike out from your base to explore your surroundings, head to Dodd Wood, 5 miles away, or spend time walking along the shores of Derwentwater, 6.5 miles from your base.

Step into the holiday home, which sits on the ground floor of a Georgian house, and find yourselves in the kitchen. Make a fresh cup of coffee then pause at the breakfast bar while Rover has a good drink and his dinner. Make your way through to the lounge to relax together after your exhilarating trips out. Light the wood burner, gaze out at the views and give soft ears a good stroke as you enjoy the quality time together. Dine at the table in here too and perhaps watch a film on TV or a DVD later on. When it is time to lay your head on your pillow, wander through to either the king-size bedroom or the twin, which could suit children as space is limited in here. Have a shower in the morning then take your happy hound out for a walk. Sit out together on the enclosed patio on balmy nights. Parking at the apartment is on the road, subject to availability.

Pull on your walking books and venture 8 miles from the cottage to Whinlatter Forest Park, which will delight your four-legged friend and any children equally. Venture 10 miles to Crummock Water, where you can stretch furry legs on an 8-mile circuit of the lake, with some stunning views.

Great location. Recommend eating at Bassenthwaite Lake railway across the dual carriageway. Was worth the 50 for two fry-ups and coffees just for the experience and quality. Would advise to book ahead.

Cottage clean but disappointing that you couldn't accommodate us earlier in daylight hours. My husband had just had a hip replacement 2 weeks earlier and it would have been safer if we could have entered the cottage earlier in the day. But still we had to be out by 10am the next day. We were told towels wouldn't be provided but kindly they were.I hRead moread brougt a large bag of towels for us all which weren't necessary. Hide

A lovely place to stay, perfect location to explore the lakes. More suitable to a family as second bedroom is tight and has no storage.

The accommodation was lovely and we had a great time, but there were some real mice within the property, seen in the kitchen and courtyard on a few occasions. Under the chair in the living room there was also evidence of mice as there were two mouldy baby bottles which has been chewed and were surrounded by mice droppings. I t didnt impact our holiRead moreday but thought you would like to know. Best wishes Jason Hide

Although the cottage is lovely, the neighbours upstairs are very loud and I understand you can not do anything about that as it's it their home... The small twin room is also loud, but I think thats down to it being next to a boiler room ? Just an observation, not a complaint.

Clean and well equipped property, with everything you need for a long or short stay. Stunning views from the front room. Good location. The bottle of wine on arrival was a nice touch, as were the bits and bobs we always forget ( washing up liquid, salt and pepper etc!). Double bed was rock hard. Would stay again.

Lots of pros: Lovely views from the lounge. Good value for money. Great walks both short and long, both easy and more difficult just on the doorstep. Lakes are very close. Coast is not far, Cockermouth is a ten minute drive. Only a few cons: Plagued by flies throughout. The bins are business waste not domestic so there's no recycling or composting.Read more Close to A66 so there's traffic noise. No dishwasher. Whole place needs a deep clean. Very early check-out and very late check-in. Hide
