This exquisite home is a true treat to stay in, with its elegant interior and incredible views of the Lakeland fells. It’s in a peaceful hamlet, located in an elevated spot between Cockermouth (5.5 miles), a charming market town, and Maryport (3 miles), a coastal town with a marina and beach. The area is a haven for nature lovers and adventurers, whether you’re into hiking, cycling, mountain biking or water sports. Considerable time and attention have gone into this home’s presentation, so expect cohesive colour schemes, quality furniture, sleek tiling and natural fabrics like wicker and seagrass. The ground floor has a spacious open-plan layout where you can relax as a family. Herringbone wooden flooring, plush sofas and mood lighting all add to the appeal. In the farmhouse-style kitchen, which has a vaulted ceiling with skylights, there’s a breakfast bar for perching with coffee, a charming Belfast sink and sleek Smeg appliances. French doors from the kitchen lead out to a glorious, tiered garden, inviting ample natural light. Upstairs, you’ll find two elegantly designed bedrooms with wood-panelled walls.

This dog-friendly cottage, located in an idyllic rural setting 6 miles from Bassenthwaite Lake, comfortably sleeps ten people across five well-appointed bedrooms and is perfect for a large family or group of friends. Situated along a quiet lane on the edge of Torpenhow village, the two-storey cottage enjoys bright and spacious living areas, en-suite facilities, a games room and easy access to the beautiful northern fells that dominate the landscape. Original features including exposed wooden beams pair up with modern furnishings to create a welcoming and warming ambience throughout the cottage, one to look forward to after a long day exploring the Lake District. Head straight into the light and airy kitchen/diner upon arrival to get essential supplies chilled ahead of a week of lazy brunches and morning coffees around the breakfast table. The indulgent dinners created in the kitchen will be met with approving coos and wows in the formal dining room next door, its wood burner and wooden floor creating an atmosphere as comforting as the food in colder months. Few guests will want to leave the comfort of the lounge during an afternoon snooze or film night, especially when the wood burner, set in the inglenook fireplace complete with the original bread oven, is roaring. If the lounge is a little too noisy, slip into the snug between the kitchen/diner and lounge for some quiet time with a book or gaming binge. If the weather turns while the party is out, remember that a utility/boot room close to the front door is the first port of call for muddy wellies and soaking coats. Take the staircase from the lounge up to the first floor, home to a family bathroom and five bedrooms: three super-king-size bedrooms, two with an en-suite shower room; a twin bedroom; and a bunk room, perfect for younger guests. Hop into the wood-burning Swedish-style hot tub on the decked area in the lawn garden, or head back through the utility room to access the games room for darts and table tennis tournaments.

Jill was an amazing, friendly, warm and knowledgeable host! The alpaca's were great to see nearby. Every detail was amazing and gave us the perfect relaxing break as a family. Spotlessly clean and great attention to detail. It was great to have use of the hot tub at any time; so often you stay somewhere and can only use such facilities at certain t imes of the day for a limited time. Table tennis was fun too. The fish and chips were not great in Maryport, but the Turkish in Cockermouth great!

Beautiful cottage, all the little extras made it so much easier to settle in and relax. Owner was really friendly and welcoming as were her alpacas!!

Cottage is perfect! Absolutely stunning and very well equipped. Spotlessly clean and very comfortable. The views are amazing and very peaceful. If its a quiet holiday youre after then its the perfect location and near the coast. However if youre after more family oriented activities then it is a good drive away to the best places. If I could take t he cottage with me further south nearer Windermere then I would.

Outside there are views of Skiddaw and the garden backs onto fields. There is plenty of garden furniture and a large hot tub.

The cottage itself and the gardens were beautiful. The beds were the most comfortable we had ever slept in. It was spotlessly clean. Things to do less than 10 minutes by car. It was in a really peaceful area. The kids loved seeing the sheep in the next field that came to say hello. The hot tub was a huge hit. Jill added so many little touches that made you feel welcome and valued and was on hand if we needed any help and very approachable. I definitely recommend and would book again in future.

Lake District Wildlife Park - CA12 4RD
about 9 Miles
We love this day out in Cumbria where you're encouraged to "take a fresh look".  Some of the amazing animals you will get to see include the only Canadian Lynx in the UK and you will have the opportunity to help their Lynx Conservation Project.  The Asian Fishing Cat is also well worth a look - these cats are known for diving under the water and catching fish!  Other activities include fantastic flying displays and play areas for the little ones...
Ullswater Steamers - CA11 0US
about 23 Miles
This is an award winning Lake District attraction and they have been operating cruisers on Lake Ullswater for over 150 years.  There is no better way to explore the lakes than on water and you could even combine a cruise with a spectacular walk.  For great days out in this region then this attraction is highly recommended and will appeal to couples as well as families.  Corporate groups are also well catered for.
Mabie Farm Park - DG2 8EZ
about 23 Miles
Mabie Farm Park is a firm favourite. Ideal for families with younger children ,this family oriented farm park has lots of animals to meet and also offers Donkey Rides, Paddle Boats and Slides as well as Trampolines and Bouncy Castles. Kids can run around on the Soft Play Area while mum and dad relax in the Tea Room. There is also a Farm Shop onsite selling toys, gifts and fresh local produce including cakes and jams. Seasonal activities can also be enjoyed including a spookly tea and walk on Haloween. The Farm closes for the winter on October 31st.
Tullie House Museum & Art Gallery - CA3 8TP
about 24 Miles
This is a museum and art gallery in one and will suit those looking for an educational and cultural day out.  You can explore the fantastic art collection including Fine Art, Decorative Art and Textiles.  If you love nature then this aspect of Tullie House will appeal. The museum holds large and important collections of zoological, botanical and geological material. And for lovers of history there is plenty to wet your appetite here. Tullie House collects a wide range of historic materials including objects, ephemera (printed material), photographs and associated information files.  We think this museum and art gallery are excellent value for money as well.
Castle Douglas - DG7 1TJ
about 24 Miles
We also recommend a visit to Castle Douglas and the Treasure Hunt Treasure Trails. These treasure hunts are great fun for the whole family and are an entertaining way to explore a new town or village. Children will enjoy solving the clues whilst learning about the history of the area. The walking trail is suitable for wheelchair users and those with pushchairs so no one is left out of the fun.
Rydal Mount & Gardens - LA22 9LU
about 25 Miles
Rydal Mount & Gardens are wonderfully situated between Lake Windermere and Rydal Water offering breathtaking scenery. The home of William Wordsworth from 1813 - 1850 the grand home is now lived in by the poets descendents but parts of the house and grounds are open to the public. Why not take a guided tour and see the rooms where many of the famous poems were written. The gardens are beautiful at all times of the year but in the summer offer a spectacular display of colour. There is also a gallery and a tearoom. Discounts are available for group bookings.
