Cobbleken

About this property

Set in the heart of Cockermouth, Cumbria, is Cobbleken, a fantastic, dog-friendly property, set over three floors. Inviting eight guests, the home rests centrally in the pretty market town of Cockermouth, enveloped by amenities, attractions, and picturesque riverside vistas, making it perfect for families or couples looking to explore the Lake District or coast. Outside you’ll arrive to two private parking spaces, a cold-water tap, and a private courtyard, complete with outdoor furniture, ideal for alfresco mealtimes. Head indoors to reach the snug, perfect for warming up in front of the woodburning stove after a day of adventure, whilst next door you will locate the utility, complete with copious space to dry clothes, walking boots, wet weather gear and store bikes, whilst freshening up your four-legged companion. Ascending to the first floor, be welcomed into an open-plan living space, with everything you’ll need to prepare and serve nourishing meals, gather as a group, and relax; there’s also a further sitting room to retreat to, complete with a rustling woodburning stove. Completing the first floor is a king-size bedroom with TV, along with a sleek shower room. Continue to the second floor where you’ll find three well-appointed bedrooms, including two king-size bedrooms and a twin, serviced by a bathroom; all beds and linen are of high quality to give you ample rest after your day in the hills! Prepare to explore Cockermouth, which rests on the edge of the Lake District National Park and offers a hub of cafés, independent shops, and restaurants, making it an ideal base for a self-catered stay. Within proximity, enjoy strolls alongside Derwent River, running adjacent castle walls and Wordsworth House (home to William Wordsworth) whose beautiful walled garden inspired poetry. By car reach Keswick and several local fells including Skiddaw, Sale Fell and Ling Fell, whilst activities are plentiful, including golf, walking trails, mountain biking for all types of levels, possible to hire in the area, and visits to the Lake District Wildlife Park; on wet days, be sure to visit the Aquarium at Maryport or brush up on your local knowledge at Keswick Museum. Scenic walks around Buttermere and Crummock Water offer an insight into the rolling hills and wildlife of the local countryside, so why not spend an afternoon kayaking across the lakes or enjoying a picnic with a scenic view? From here, the dramatic landscape can be taken in from trails leading to Grasmoor, Mellbreak, Robinson and Red Pike and along to Scale Force Waterfall. However you spend your break, make memories at Cobbleken.

Resting 13 miles from Keswick, the sleepy agricultural market town of Cockermouth is located in the peaceful northwest region of the Lake District. The National Trust currently operates Wordsworth's Georgian family home on the main street, which is a well-liked tourist destination. The town is well-known for being the birthplace of both Fletcher Christian (of Mutiny on the Bounty fame) and William Wordsworth. Cockermouth has a nice selection of stores, bars, and restaurants, but (obviously) the area's major draw is the stunning scenery and fantastic hiking in the northern lakes, including Bassenthwaite Lake, Ennerdale Water, and Derwent Water.
