High Dyke Cottage

About this property

Boasting a wealth of period features such as original beams, wood panelling, ornamental fireplaces and traditional feature windows, High Dyke Cottage near Cockermouth in Cumbria, is a simply stunning cottage dating back to the seventeenth century. Walk through the front door and step back in time as the glorious traditional accommodation welcomes in visitors. Take a seat in the warm and inviting sitting room complete with attractive woodburning stove, creating a real focal point to the room. The farmhouse kitchen is equally appealing with another woodburning stove helping to add to the welcoming ambience. You can imagine spending a lot of time while on holiday here in this space, where the designated chef can rustle up hearty food for the hungry travellers who can take a seat around the rustic dining table and enjoy long, leisurely meals together.

If the weather allows, the enclosed gardens are the perfect spot for everyone to gather and while children and pets can run around safely, the adults can recline in the patio area, maybe lighting the fire pit to take off the evening chill and look up at the starry skies and really relax into this Cumbrian idyll. At bedtime, choose from one of two well-presented king-size bedrooms and a family shower room finishes the accommodation. There is so much to see and do from the doorstep at High Dyke Cottage from local walks and trails as well as the famous Lake District which has something to offer everyone.

Take a trip to the National Trust Wordsworth House and Gardens or wonder at the stunning Lodore Falls or head out for a day trip to bustling Cumbrian towns and villages such as Keswick, Cockermouth and Embleton. For a truly relaxing stay in a beautiful period cottage, High Dyke Cottage is an unbeatable choice.

Resting on the banks of the River Cocker, south of Lancaster and north of Preston lies the small village of Cockerham. This charming village is encompassed by Pilling, Forton and the parishes of Thurnha. This quaint village is a superb base for a self-catered holiday, with its delightful restaurant to enjoy dining out, a pub, a farm shop and ice cream parlour, as well as the hall, which holds regular events. Outdoor explorers can enjoy the abundance of walking trails and for those seeking fun activities there is cycle hiring and parachute jumping. Spend the day at the wonderful city of Lancaster, home to a hilltop, medieval castle, a fascinating museum featuring its army regiment and you can relish woodland walks at Williamson Park. Take a road trip to the bustling town of Blackpool for an exciting time at Blackpool Pleasure Beach or venture to Preston for a great range of shops for a shopping spree!
