Pack a mixed group of adventurers and your best canine companions for a holiday in Cockermouth. This townhouse is surrounded by lovely spots to dine, and you’re only a short journey from the delights of the Lake District and the Cumbrian coast.
This property is set over three levels. As you enter, you’ll find the social spaces on the ground floor. There’s a kitchen/diner with a farmhouse table, so everyone can eat together. The kitchen is well-equipped so you have everything you need for delicious meals. Continue to the lounge, a comfortable and warming place with a statement wall and a wood burner. It’s a great spot to relax, play games and chat. Head to the first floor via steep, spiral, cottage-style stairs for three bedrooms. They’re all doubles, and one comes with an en-suite shower room. There’s also a family bathroom with a deep bath for long soaks. The vaulted ceiling slopes low in some parts, so it would be good for children – and grown-ups should watch their heads! You’ll have a rear patio garden, enclosed by a high wall, where your dogs can sniff around. On sunny afternoons, why not fire up the BBQ and enjoy a spot of al fresco dining at the picnic table?
When you stay here, you’ll have all the conveniences of the town, including shops and local pubs, many of which welcome dogs. There are lots of walks to various natural features around the Lake District, including Grisedale Pike (11 miles), and Holme Force Waterfall (8 miles). Treat your salty sea dogs to a splash around with a visit to Parton Beach (12 miles), a quiet and pebbly spot.
