The cottage is in an ideal location and very comfortable. Parking place was really handy as parking is difficult in the surrounding area. The house is well-equipped and Cockermouth is a great base for exploring the Lakes.

Very homely and welcoming.
Very homely and welcoming. All amenities within walking distance. Even though it's on a busy main road, traffic wasn't of any concern, it virtually stopped at night. Recommend, Main street chippy. Very friendly staff and fish cooked to orderLoved the log burner , only issue was the sink in the bathroom had dirty water left in it 😳
