Caretakers Cottage

We stayed here for five nights, cannot fault anything. The apartment was clean, warm and spacious. Would recommend to anyone. In fact it was so comfortable we only ate out once!

Perfect place to stay

Caretakers Cottage certainly took care of all our needs as a family and we couldn’t have been happier with the accommodation. It was perfect for us in every way and we hope that we left it in the immaculate state that we found it. It’s definitely somewhere we would stay again! We were so lucky to have stayed here: a perfect place in a perfect location…the perfect retreat after climbing some of the Lake District’s fells. Thank you.

Relaxing break

Location was perfect for accessing walks of all levels. Love that it was only a short walk into Cockermouth centre where there was a good choice of supermarkets and places to eat. The apartment was spotlessly clean and super comfortable with everything you’d need in a home from home. Communication from Clare was clear and timely including a very kind gift on arrival. We would not hesitate recommend and can’t wait to return!

About the host

Hosted by Mrs Clare Ridden

We moved to Cockermouth in 2019 having spent many happy times in the Lake District. Cockermouth is a friendly and welcoming town with great shops, places to eat and all the excitement of the Lake District National Park only a very short drive away.

Why they chose this property

The character, style, high ceilings, light and airy rooms and the original features of the building including one of only two remaining original fireplaces which dates back to 1881 are what made us fall in love with this property and hopefully our guests will enjoy it too.
