Step inside to find a colourful and airy lounge with plush velvet armchairs and a sofa beside the bay window. The space is filled with wooden furnishings and tasteful tones of yellow, blue and green throughout. Continue into the neutral-toned kitchen/diner with a dining table next to an eye-catching floral feature wall opposite an ‘L’-shaped fitted unit with brown countertops. Also on the ground floor is a utility room and a separate WC. Climb the stairs to reach a family bathroom and three characterful boutique-style bedrooms with orthopaedic mattresses – a king-size, twin and small double. Outside is a small, enclosed rear garden with furniture. There is on-street parking near this cottage.
While staying in Cockermouth, walk around the market town to find a winding river running through its centre, dramatic castle ruins and the historic former home of Wordsworth (within 0.5 miles). Stop for a tipple or some food at one of the independent eateries after a day in the northern area of the Lake District National Park (1.5 miles). Meet the animals at Lake District Wildlife Park (8 miles) or set tails wagging with a stroll around Bassenthwaite Lake (6.5 miles). Let off some steam with an uphill challenge to the summit of Grisedale Pike (14 miles), standing at 791 metres. Head to the coast for a dip at the dog-friendly Crosscanonby Carr Nature Reserve (10 miles) or visit the coastal town of Whitehaven (14.5 miles).
