There is one double bedroom with four poster bed. Bathroom with bath with shower over, WC and basin. Small kitchen and pantry. Snug sitting room with dining area and multi-fuel stove, creating a cottage of character and olde worlde charm. Just a short walk away is the town centre, with its lovely Georgian buildings, newly refurbished market place and many old pubs and eating places, making this a perfect base for exploring the western lakes, the Solway Coast and the town of Keswick. This is a superb cottage for relaxing and to enjoy a romantic break any time of the year. About the area: Bassenthwaite Lake 7 miles; Keswick 13 miles. The small market town of Cockermouth is located on the peaceful north-western part of the Lake District, which is a largely undiscovered and unspoilt area, but still only 13 miles from bustling Keswick. Cockermouth provides a good variety of shops, pubs and places to eat, but the main attraction of the area is the magnificent scenery and superb walking in the northern lakes - Bassenthwaite Lake, Ennerdale Water and Derwent Water. The town is renowned as the birthplace of William Wordsworth and Fletcher Christian (of Mutiny on the Bounty fame) and Wordsworth's Georgian family home, on the main street, is now a visitor attraction, owned by the National Trust.
