Dean Holiday Cottages
Within touching distance of the Lake District National Park, our
Dean cottage rentals are a big hit with those who want to explore
the Lakes whilst avoiding its well-trodden tourist towns.
The village of Dean in Cumbria's wild Allerdale District is
a superb holiday base for several reasons - not least because of
its proximity to the Lake District. Just five miles from Cockermouth - the Cumbrian town
famed as birthplace of 19th century poet William
Wordsworth - Dean lies at the gateway to the Lake District, with
the nearest mere being Loweswater, just six miles from the
village.
Rent a cottage in Dean, the gateway to the Lake District
To the west of your Dean holiday cottage, you'll find the
Cumbrian seaboard, a hidden gem of a coastline boasting an array of
golden beaches and ancient Roman towns built to defend the coast
from Scottish Raiders. Of the beaches nearest Dean, St Bees springs to mind. Here
you'll find a ribbon of sand flanked by a magnificent sloping
headland - the perfect place to lay your beach towel on a balmy
day.
Drive East during your Dean cottage break and get lost amid the
mighty fells of the Lake District. Beyond Loweswater lies Buttermere, thought to be one of
the prettiest and most peaceful meres in the District. Spend a
morning hiking in the hills that surround the water before
descending into Buttermere village to indulge in a hearty lunch in
one of the village's welcoming country pubs - what could be
better on a bracing day?
Other attractions near our Dean cottages include Wordsworth
House in Cockermouth, the childhood home of William Wordsworth
transformed into a fascinating visitor centre. There are plenty of

Whinlatter Pass and the Lake District's one and only lake,
