Our stay at this lovely holiday cottage in Cockermouth was absolutely perfect for our family of four and our dog. 🐾❤️The cottage had everything we needed for a comfortable stay, and its location was ideal. Just a short walk into town for plenty of shops, food and drink. There were also lots of lovely dog walks nearby, which our dog thoroughly enjoyed!Having parking was a real bonus too. It meant we could head out for days exploring the beautiful surrounding area without worrying about finding a space when we got back.A lovely, comfortable cottage in a great location, we’d happily stay here again! 😊🏡🐶
