Cockermouth, the birthplace of William Wordsworth, offers a great location to explore the western fells and lakes of the Lake District. Grasmoor, Fleetwith Pike, Haystacks, Buttermere, Crummock Water, Loweswater and Whinlatter Forest are all within 12 miles. The path at Bassenthwaite Lake runs the length of the west shore, and there is an open-air theatre at Mirehouse which is well worth a visit. The town has a great selection of independent shops, bars and restaurants. For something a little different, why not enjoy some outdoor adventures at Go Ape or explore the forest trails at Whinlatter (8 miles)? The Keswick Mountain Festival, which is usually held in May or June, offers three days of world-class sports, outdoor activities, talks and films with live music (14 miles).

As you enter this impressive townhouse, you will find yourself in the stunning wood-panelled entrance hall, the perfect setting to introduce you to this magnificent property. To the right of the entrance hall, you will find the formal dining room, offering a great social space to catch up with family and friends over a meal or make plans for the day ahead over breakfast. From the entrance hall, you cannot miss the beautiful oak staircase. There is a small bedroom on the ground floor just off the hallway, with bunk beds that are suitable for all ages and an en-suite with a shower and WC. Tucked away behind the staircase on the ground floor is the kitchen, offering a practical space equipped with a range-style gas hob and oven, fridge/freezer, microwave and dishwasher. Off the kitchen, you will find a small utility room with a washing machine and dryer, and there is access out to the enclosed private courtyard. As you head up the staircase to the first floor, you will find the spacious lounge with high ceilings and large picture windows which allow the light to flood in. There are comfy sofas and ample seating, along with a cosy electric fire and Smart TV - this room is a great place to chill out after a day out exploring. Off the lounge, there is a king-size bedroom with an en-suite with a shower and WC. Further along the landing, there is a pretty double bedroom with a TV, original beams and an en-suite with a shower over the bath and WC. As you head up to the second floor, there is a spacious super-king-size bedroom mid-landing, with seating, TV and en-suite with a shower and WC. As you get up onto the second floor, you will find a pretty twin bedroom with an en-suite which has a bath, handheld shower and WC. There is also a double bedroom and king-size bedroom on this floor, all beautifully styled with TVs and en-suite shower rooms with WCs.

There is a private, enclosed courtyard with seating on the patio, allowing you to sit outside on a pleasant evening.

Six Castlegate is such a beautiful, spacious property. We loved our stay and the house was very clean, the beds were extremely comfortable, and its location is great for stepping into the town as well as for driving further into the lakes. It was definitely value for money!

Highly recommend for large groups. Parking is really convenient and the location was perfect. The house had everything we needed for a long weekend. The beds are very comfy and each bedroom has own bathroom. We loved the big comfy living room and being able to have meals together as a group in the dining room. The house was dog friendly so we didntRead more have to worry. The back is fully enclosed and there are grassy areas a few mins walk from the house in each direction for the dogs toilet trips Hide

Our second visit to 6 Castlegate (three families) was another excellent one. It's a great location for exploring the N, NW and W fells in particular in the shorter autumn days and we all enjoyed the varied and excellent shops, pubs and restaurants in Cockermouth, right on the doorstep. The layout and comfort of the house itself is highly recommendeRead mored for large groups. Hide
