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.

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.

Perfect location for us and our dogs, home from home, an outside space would have been a bonus but not essential. Every thing we needed for a lovely short break in the lakes.

This was a lovely, quirky cottage that met our needs during our holiday in the Lake District. It was well furnished and comfortable, and suitably equipped for a self catering holiday. It is on a surprisingly busy road, but that did not really bother townies who are used to moderate ambient noise.

Great location for walking to and around Cockermouth, lovely cottage and well equipped. It wasn't a problem for us, but I hadn't realised the kitchen is on the first floor. It's on a very busy main road which is noisy that two of the bedrooms face.

The property is was a restoration project and saved the house from being demolished. It's quirky (kitchen upstairs), full of character and spacious. It's within a 10-15 minute walk to the centre of town over the bridge with a fast flowing stream, very scenic. We loved our time here and would stay again.

Worked well as a base for days out and sleeping at, no garden for the dog which would have been useful to know when booking. The property could do with deep clean of the wood work and under beds and sofas. The property is in need of TLC and repairs in some of the rooms.
