This attractive period terrace property sits in the heart of pretty Cockermouth, in the doggy paradise of the spectacular Lake District. With the river and park close by, it is the ideal base for exploring this beautiful area with your four-legged friend. Sleeping six across three bedrooms and with three canine companions also welcome, it is perfect for a family break in the Lakes.

Inside, a hallway welcomes you into the cottage, and is a useful space for cleaning boots and muddy paws. The cosy lounge/dining room is a lovely room to relax after a day out exploring, with comfy leather sofas and a glowing fire where you four-pawed pal can stretch out. Also downstairs is one of the three pretty bedrooms¬ – ideal if Fido likes to keep you company at night – complete with an en-suite bathroom. Upstairs is the neat and well-equipped kitchen with a breakfast table, perfect for that post-walk cup of coffee, along with two more bedrooms and a shower room.

Enjoy an early morning stroll along the river Derwent that flows through the pretty town of Cockermouth, with its pretty medieval streets and numerous dog-friendly pubs. The town has several parks, including the nearby Memorial Gardens, just a stick’s throw from the cottage and ideal for a few games of fetch. Jump in the car and take the scenic drive to beautiful Bassenthwaite Lake (5 miles), which offers beautiful lakeside walks. Alternatively head out to the glorious Solway Coast and the town of Silloth (17.5 miles) where your four-pawed pal can enjoy racing around the wonderful stretch of beach and play in the waves.

Generally ok, living room area was comfortable, beds were comfortable too. Quite noisy as right next to the road. A few other issues that have been raised separately. Overall Cockermouth was very nice

Very comfortable cottage with everything you could need for a great stay. Location is perfect for exploring the Lakes and just a short stroll to pubs / cafes / shops / parks. Free parking on site was a bonus with being so close to town.

Wonderful location, just a couple of mins stroll from the lovely town centre. The home is well equipped with excellent and comfortable beds and living space. All 5 of us enjoyed the stay and the whole place was immaculately clean. A great base to explore the beautiful countryside surrounding the town.

Fantastic house. Great character with modern facilities. Very open and had a lovely traditional feel. Loved the upstairs kitchen and the facilities in this room. In addition, the upstairs shower was brilliant. Finally, Cockermouth is a revelation. Lovely town with unique shops, restaurants and pubs. The green area near the river was very peaceful aRead morend the location of the property was perfect. Hide

Although on one of the main roads in Cockermouth, once inside the cottage it was cosy and quiet. It was clean, tidy and comfortable and Cockermouth itself is a lovely town and a great base for exploring the Lake District and the west coast of Cumbria.

Lovely quirky period property, well suited for our needs. No cot mattress and we were unable to connect to the property's WiFi as the router didn't appear when we searched for it.

Great location despite the busy road. Well equipped with the basics eg toilet roll, soap, salt and pepper, oil etc. everything a bit tired, in need of a good clean. Don't arrive with a couple of bags of shopping to put in the fridge (like I did) as the fridge is tiny and completely inadequate.
