We are please to welcome Dobbin our new family holiday let. Dobbin is a converted horse box set in the grounds of a stunning Manor house on the edge of Cockermouth surrounded by stunning uninterrupted views of the Lake District , the house was once the summer residence of the Earl of Carlisle and dates back to 1840, we are currently renovating the house back to its former glory .
