  • "What a marvellous manor house!"

    From the moment we entered the gates, we felt like we were in a truly royal place. Our group of 16 had an incredible time here. The house was immaculate, spacious, and beautifully decorated throughout. The well-equipped kitchen made it easy to prepare meals for our group, and the luxurious bedrooms and bathrooms made us feel like we were staying in a five-star hotel. The grand staircase, chandeliers, lounges, and dining room added a royal touch to the experience. The location was fantastic, closer to tourist destinations in the Lake District than we expected, with easy access to Keswick, Maryport, and Whitehaven. The town centre was only a short walk away, and we found plenty of great pubs and takeaways nearby (Double Happiness Chinese takeaway was our favourite!). We loved the on-site facilities like the games room and hot tub, though we couldn’t enjoy the garden due to rain. The hosts were incredibly helpful and responsive, and the security deposit and check-in process were seamless and straightforward. The only downside was that the broadband occasionally slowed down during peak hours, especially when streaming, but this was a minor inconvenience. We already miss the place and are planning our next visit! Highly recommended for anyone looking for a relaxing, luxurious, and memorable getaway.

About the location

WORKINGTON

Maryport 6 miles; Cockermouth 7.7 miles; Bassenthwaite Lake 23 miles.

Workington is an ancient market and port town on the west coast of Cumbria, based at mouth of the River Derwent. The town has a selection of shops, bars and two theatres, as well as five churches and history dating back to Roman times, with forts positioned on the coast as coastal defences. Curwen Hall is a striking ruin, which was originally built around a pele tower that dates back to the 14th century and was used to shelter Mary Queen of Scots on her last flight to Scotland before her execution. In more recent time, Workington was known for the production of high quality iron ore and mining, and the town’s industrial history can be learnt at the maritime museum based on the cliffs in nearby Whithaven. The western side of the Lake District National Park can be reached in less than half an hour’s drive, to the west is the Solway Firth and its designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and to the east are the Lakeland Hills. A wonderful base for exploring the Cumbrian coastline.

Please note: There is a £50 pet cleaning charge per pet.
