About this property

This property's stunning views have to be seen to be believed, set in the beautiful Lake District National Park near the town of Cockermouth. Cockermouth is only a short drive away and has an abundance of eateries and shops so you will not be found wanting. Keswick is only a short drive away a tourist hot spot, which provides an array of independent shops, eateries, galleries, and parks to enjoy all on the shores of Derwentwater. Bassenthwaite Lake is the most northerly lake in the region and is a great place to head out on the water. On the northern shore of the lake, the Lakes Distillery offers tasting tours and is also home to a bistro and a group of resident alpacas who visitors are able to hand feed.
