It just offers everything we are looking for in a holiday home away from home but with the extra little touches provided by the owners of fresh flowers and welcome fruit basket with home baked cake and a bottle of wine. These are little things that really make you feel special. The location is fabulous for all the surrounding villages and towns to visit and if you wanted to remain in Cockermouth there are many shops, cafes, pubs and gardens to spend your time visiting all within walking distance of the property. It is spotless clean and for 4 adults in our party more than enough room to cater for us all to have as much personal space as we want while roomy enough for us to have dinner in the dining room followed by a game or two from the selection of games in the house. Parking permit for right out side the gate and another permit for the car park right across the road over a small footbridge make this perfect for more than 1 car families and the permit also allows you free parking in the surrounding towns which is an added bonus. it really is a fabulous house and one that we will keep coming back to for as long as we can

Mrs Chantry, April 2019
“Lovely cottage with beautiful views over the river.”

Lots of welcoming touches ie fruit, chocolate and cake. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to stay in Cockermouth.

Mrs Millerchip, April 2019

Her attention to detail was first class. This is an excellent place to stay.

Mr Chicken, April 2019
“Communication with Carole was excellent.”

Her property was like a home away from home. The house is well equipped, perfectly situated and cosy.

The cottage had everything we needed, cooking facilities, washing machine, dishwasher, etc.. and it was very comfortable for 5 of us. On arrival, we were pleasantly suprised by the fruits, wine, chocolate and lemon drizzle cake that were waiting for us - such a lovely gesture. We had a minor issue during our stay and it was dealt with very promptly and efficiently. Carole is a fantastic landlady and I would stay there again if we are in Cockermouth. I would not hesitate to recommend 1 Rubby Banks to anyone looking for somewhere to stay in Cockermouth. Thanks Carole for everything.

Ms Vaughan, January 2019
“My husband and I stayed on the top floor with views over the pretty river, only thing we would have loved is a larger bed as we are used to a kingsize, but unfortunately my teenagers and mother in law had the kingsize which the owner had kindly changed to a twin bed for us.”

They stayed on the middle floor and all slept really well. Stairs to the top floor are steep,but we had read this on another review so were prepared and they weren't a problem at all. The house is situated a very short walk from main street, shops, local pubs and restaurants. The Bitter End pub was nice, friendly staff, tasty food and dog friendly. 15 minutes to Maryport, the closest seaside town and 30 minutes to st bees head which sadly we didn't get chance to visit this time. The northern and western lakes are my favourite and are truly breathtaking, all a short drive away through stunning scenery, (checkers from the usual lakes, check out Surprise View over Derwent water and Moss Falls, with a cheeky stop off for refreshments at The Chalet in Portinscale on the way - love that place! If its your first time to the area, you won't be disappointed. Rubbybanks makes for a perfect and comfortable base, thank you Carole for all the little extra touches, I'm sure we shall be returning!

Mrs Smith, November 2018
“No 1 Rubbybanks was very clean and comfortable with lovely welcoming touches.”

It is a perfect base for exploring Cockermouth and the Lakes. Highly recommended.

Mr Coll, September 2018
“Rubby Banks is a fabulous holiday home, facilities were perfect and some lovely welcoming touches added!”

Cockermouth itself is a lovely town, plenty to see and do nearby. All in all a great family holiday.

Mrs Sayer, August 2018
“Cockermouth is a lovely place the accommodation was in a perfect location which suited our needs.”

The parking wasn't ideal but the use of the parking permit more than made up for it. The accommodation was immiculate and all our needs were met.

The house has been completely refurbished and is very comfortable and well-equipped. Because the weather was so amazing, we were able to eat all our meals out-of-doors. If there was anything which could be improved, it would be the outside area at the rear of the property although it was perfectly satisfactory. There was a lovely welcome gift of a plentiful and varied bowl of fresh fruit, a bottle of wine and some chocolate, all of which were very acceptable. We loved being so near the river Cocker and being able to hear the sound of the water. Vehicular access to the house is a bit tricky down narrow roads and although it can be possible to park outside, it is not a designated place although we were fortunate right up until the last evening when we arrived home fairly late to find it taken. There is a public car park across the river, accessed by a footbridge but it is a bit of a detour to drive there owing to one-way streets. However, a parking permit for this and other car parks in Allerdale was provided which was a nice touch and saved us quite a bit of money during the week. Cockermouth is a lovely little town with some interesting independent shops, a couple of supermarkets and a plethora of cafes, restaurants and pubs so plenty of choice. It is also a good centre for the surrounding area. We would happily return to Cockermouth and to the house.

The accommodation was immaculate and Carol had also left us a welcome pack, wine, bread, butter, milk, tea/coffee, dog treats and fresh flowers, it was very very nice. The area is so quiet and yet you are a 2 minute walk from the town centre which is lovely to wander along the streets and take in the lovely little shops, all dog friendly and welcoming. We would absolutely stay here again as everything was just perfect for 2 adults and 2 teenagers with 1 small dog.

The contact from owners was helpful and informative. The property has everything you need. The welcome pack (coffee, tea, jam, chocolate, fresh bread, milk, butter) and delicious homemade cake were well received. Already looking for an excuse to come back and stay again.

“Absolutely fantastic place, great location had everything thing we needed.”

Tastefully decorated. The only problem is that it's not ours! Thanks for making us so welcome

Home baked cake no less! Grannie, had en suite on the second floor whilst son and two year old grandson shared two bedrooms and bathroom on first floor. Parking with permit just two mins across the bridge was brilliant. Weather very mixed including snow but utility room proved invaluable. Great gas fires in addition to central heating. Cosy rugs to curl up with to watch TV and films. Glorious day on penultimate day which was spent around Bassenthwaite lake. Up on Whinlatter with my cumbrian family walking the Gruffalo trail whilst older members had lunch in Armathwaite Hall brasserie overlooking the lake and Skiddaw. Magical. Do your homework and find all the indoor and outdoor activities. We went to the Aquarium at Maryport on a really wet day. The children loved it. Picnic in the cars on the promenade. Great warm swimming at Workington's new complex for £1 for children. Never mind Keswick's two exceptional parks!

About the location

COCKERMOUTH

Bassenthwaite Lake 7 miles; Keswick 13 miles.

The small country market town of Cockermouth is situated in the quiet north-western part of the Lake District, a largely undiscovered and unspoilt area, yet only 13 miles from Keswick. The town is famous as the birthplace of both William Wordsworth and Fletcher Christian (of Mutiny on the Bounty fame) and Wordsworth’s Georgian family home, on the main street, is now a popular visitor attraction, owned by the National Trust. Cockermouth offers a good variety of shops, pubs and places to eat, but (of course) the main attraction of the area is the beautiful scenery and excellent walking in the northern lakes – Bassenthwaite Lake, Ennerdale Water and Derwent Water.
