Elegant interiors and wild, naturally beautiful surroundings of Cumbria and the Lake District make this apartment perfect for a romantic British getaway. Up to two guests and one beloved canine companion can stay in this ground-floor, town centre apartment with a garden and an open-plan living space. Have a ball and spend your time away between the coast and the mountains with history, nature and quaint towns nearby.
Pass through the hall shared with neighbouring properties and enter the apartment to find an open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner. This airy and sophisticated space has velvet furniture and tones of blue, green and gold throughout. A soft sofa sits beside an Art Deco-style coffee table and rug, opposite a tall sash window and a dining table for two. On the other side of the room is a sleek, neutral-toned, fitted ‘U’-shaped kitchen with a peninsula and marble-effect countertops. Beyond here is a boutique-style king-size bedroom with long drapes that open onto a patio door. There is also an en-suite shower room with a walk-in shower. Outside is a small, enclosed garden with furniture. Guests can help themselves to the additional garden shared with neighbouring properties, plus private parking for two cars is provided.
While staying in the countryside market town of Cockermouth, you can wander around the centre to find a handful of art galleries, the riverside ruins of Cockermouth Castle and plenty of places to dine out. Set tails wagging in Lake District National Park on a walk around Bassenthwaite Lake National Nature Reserve (6.5 miles). If you’re up for an adventure, hike to the 931m-high summit of Skiddaw (12 miles) or step back in time at the 5,000-year-old Castlerigg Stone Circle (16 miles). Also within reach is the dog-friendly beach at Crosscanonby Carr Nature Reserve (9.5 miles).
