A superb week here, spotless accommodation, easy parking, with private, dog friendly rear garden. A welcome pack, well equipped kitchen, cosy and warm. Spoilt for choice regarding forest and lake walks within 15 mimutes or less car drive, Whitehaven, Maryport and Workington all worth a visit. Cockermouth town about 10 minutes walk. Highly recommend this holiday let, thank you Helen.
