Description
Set in the heart of Cockermouth, Cumbria, is Cobbleken, a fantastic, dog-friendly property, set over three floors.
Inviting eight guests, the home rests centrally in the pretty market town of Cockermouth, enveloped by amenities, attractions, and picturesque riverside vistas, making it perfect for families or couples looking to explore the Lake District or coast.
Outside you’ll arrive to two private parking spaces, a cold-water tap, and a private courtyard, complete with outdoor furniture, ideal for alfresco mealtimes.
Head indoors to reach the snug, perfect for warming up in front of the woodburning stove after a day of adventure, whilst next door you will locate the utility, complete with copious space to dry clothes, walking boots, wet weather gear and store bikes, whilst freshening up your four-legged companion.
Ascending to the first floor, be welcomed into an open-plan living space, with everything you’ll need to prepare and serve nourishing meals, gather as a group, and relax; there’s also a further sitting room to retreat to, complete with a rustling woodburning stove.
Completing the first floor is a king-size bedroom with TV, along with a sleek shower room.
Continue to the second floor where you’ll find three well-appointed bedrooms, including two king-size bedrooms and a twin, serviced by a bathroom; all beds and linen are of high quality to give you ample rest after your day in the hills!
Prepare to explore Cockermouth, which rests on the edge of the Lake District National Park and offers a hub of cafés, independent shops, and restaurants, making it an ideal base for a self-catered stay.
Within proximity, enjoy strolls alongside Derwent River, running adjacent castle walls and Wordsworth House (home to William Wordsworth) whose beautiful walled garden inspired poetry.
By car reach Keswick and several local fells including Skiddaw, Sale Fell and Ling Fell, whilst activities are plentiful, including golf, walking trails, mountain biking for all types of levels, possible to hire in the area, and visits to the Lake District Wildlife Park; on wet days, be sure to visit the Aquarium at Maryport or brush up on your local knowledge at Keswick Museum.
Scenic walks around Buttermere and Crummock Water offer an insight into the rolling hills and wildlife of the local countryside, so why not spend an afternoon kayaking across the lakes or enjoying a picnic with a scenic view?
From here, the dramatic landscape can be taken in from trails leading to Grasmoor, Mellbreak, Robinson and Red Pike and along to Scale Force Waterfall.
However you spend your break, make memories at Cobbleken.

What guests are saying
We were very happy with the accommodation.
It was really central and suited us perfectly. The kitchen is roomy and it was great having a double oven to cook the Christmas dinner! The dining room was a squeeze for 8 people but it couldn't be positioned anywhere else. The major drawback was the parking. The claim that there is parking for 2 cars just isn't acceptable. The garage as most people complain about is not suitable for a car - even the smallest. The door must be widened or it should be advertised as with 1 parking space. Overall we would recommend it .
We had a great couple of comfy nights staying at Cobbleken, its in a great central location and had everything we needed after returning from walking for the day.
Lovely to have the high street a few steps away for any needed supplies, restaurants, take aways etc....
We have just had a fabulous couple of weeks in Cockermouth staying at Cobbleken.
We could easily have stayed longer. It’s an old building with all the history and character that brings. The property creaks and groans to let you know how old it is and this adds to its’ appeal. The only comments I would make are that the kitchen equipment (pots, pans, utensils) would benefit from updating. Everything else is excellent. The bedrooms are large and comfortable and the bathrooms are spacious with excellent water pressure. The bath on the top floor was a real treat. Cockermouth is a wonderful old town with a thriving collection of independent shops with welcoming staff working in them. Town centre properties with parking are a rare find and this is another reason that Cobbleken is such a good place to stay. We certainly hope to return.
