This cosy house makes the ideal bolthole for couples or a small family to get out and explore the stunning Lake District with up to two canine chums in tow – heavenly! Based in the centre of bustling Cockermouth, you have lots of shops and eateries to hand (with 1 mile), helping to make your break easy. The comfortable, upscale home from home means that downtime spent here will be just as rewarding as getting out into the surrounding breathtaking landscape.
Stepping in off the street, you’ll instantly feel at home in this stylish terraced house. The space flows brilliantly from the modern kitchen, with all mod cons for holiday catering, into the living area. The neutral decor, using tasteful, natural tones and the chic furnishings add an extra layer of luxury. Wooden floors make it easy with dogs in tow, too. The lounge/diner invites you to chill out and large patio doors open from here to let the outside in. The two calming bedrooms and bathroom upstairs have vaulted ceilings and beams for added character. The small garden is enclosed, with a furnished patio area, and access steps down that are shared with the neighbour.
The great outdoors calls loud in this wonderful part of the world. Grab the dogs’ leads, put on your stout walking boots and hit the hills, dales and footpaths of the Lake District National Park, which starts just past Cockermouth. There’s good cycling all around, too. The North Lakes of Bassenthwaite, Buttermere, Crummock and Loweswater are all within 7 miles of this charming cottage. Just 14 miles brings you to Keswick, the pretty market town that’s now the tourist centre for the Lakes. Have a mooch with your pooch, then decide whether to arrange a boat trip or just enjoy walks around Derwentwater.
