Self catering holiday in Cockermouth, Cumbria

Accommodation details

Situated in the pretty town of Cockermouth – the birthplace of William Wordsworth – this apartment is the perfect base to explore the northern Lake District and western fells. It has the added benefit of having restaurants and bars within 1 mile, where you can enjoy a romantic meal or a few drinks out after a day of exploring.

The shore path at Bassenthwaite is just 6 miles away and runs the length of the west shore. Keswick is only 14 miles away and hosts the popular Mountain Festival annually with some world-class sports, outdoor activities, talks and films, as well as live music. Whinlatter Forest is only 7 miles away – why not visit Go Ape or hire bikes and explore the forest trails? For something a little different, walk an alpaca or abseil 120ft into a disused quarry. As you enter the property through its private entrance, you will find coat and boot storage just inside the front door.

Head up the stairs to the first floor and you will find a bright and spacious lounge with views over the high street. This room has high ceilings with lovely feature beams and a Smart TV where you can catch up on your favourite series after a day out exploring. Next door, you will find the kitchen which is well-equipped with an electric hob and oven, microwave, fridge/freezer and washing machine.

There is also a dining table in the kitchen where you can enjoy breakfast before heading out to explore. Head back into the hallway and up the stairs to the second floor; here, you will find a pretty double bedroom and a bathroom with a shower over the bath and WC. There is restricted on-street parking directly outside the property for you to unload, with a car park 350 metres away or unrestricted parking in other areas of the town.
