About this property

Finest Retreats | Willow Dene

Located in the heart of Cockermouth, Willow Dene welcomes up to six guests in a modern, stylish three-bedroom holiday home that is perfect for families or groups and just a stone's throw away from the breath-taking landscapes of the Lake District National Park.

From this home, you can easily reach popular destinations like Keswick, Whinlatter Forest, and Buttermere, all offering unique attractions and natural beauty.

On arrival head into the inviting lounge featuring large windows with a view, Smart TV and 3-seater electric reclining sofa. The property has good Wi-Fi throughout the property. The spacious, contemporary-styled open-plan kitchen and dining area are perfect for preparing meals and spending quality time together. Equipped with all modern amenities for an easy self-catered stay, the kitchen includes a dishwasher, 5-ring induction hob, double electric oven, grill, slow cooker and large fridge-freezer.

Outside, enjoy a private grassed garden with a secure area for four-legged friends - ideal for relaxing in the fresh air or dining al fresco during warmer months.

The home is fully equipped with all modern conveniences for a comfortable self-catered stay. Just off the kitchen, the large utility/boot room features a Belfast sink, washer and dryer perfect for cleaning muddy boots after exploring the stunning Cumbrian countryside. For added convenience, the ground floor also includes a WC.

Upstairs, there are three beautifully appointed bedrooms. The spacious master bedroom boasts a super king bed and a superb balcony overlooking Dale View and Harris Park. It’s the perfect spot to watch the sunset, with a table, chairs, and an infrared heater for chillier evenings. The en-suite bathroom features a shower, toilet, sink, heated towel rail, and underfloor heating.

The second bedroom offers a comfortable double bed, while the third bedroom includes two single beds that can be configured into a king upon request. There is also a family bathroom featuring a shower, luxurious bath, toilet, sink, heated towel rail, and underfloor heating.

The Georgian town of Cockermouth is renowned for its charming streets, historic buildings, and vibrant local shops. Explore its rich heritage, including the birthplace of William Wordsworth, and savour delicious local cuisine at various cafes and restaurants.

Outdoor enthusiasts will delight in the abundance of walking and hiking opportunities nearby, with the breath-taking scenery of the lakes and mountains on your doorstep. Whether you prefer leisurely strolls along the River Derwent or more challenging hikes in the fells, there’s something for everyone.

Parking is available for one car on the driveway, though it is quite steep. A handrail is provided along the length of the driveway. Additional public on-road parking for up to three cars is available directly in front of the house. Steps are required to access this property from the driveway.

We welcome up to two dogs in this home and kindly ask that pets remain downstairs and off the soft furnishings. Please note, we are unable to accommodate cats.

10/10 Excellent

Stephen

We had a wonderful 2 weeks.

The location is perfect with walks and parks on your doorstep. The neighbourhood was peaceful and relaxing. We experienced the best sunsets from the house and recommend seeing it from the upstairs balcony with a drink in hand. 7 mins walking distance to all the shops, pubs and restaurants. The house felt like a home, clean and all mod cons. Off road parking and a lovely garden. The host was very helpful and responsive. We loved it that much we stayed an extra night and have already booked again.

This is a great base to explore Cockermouth and the North Lakes.

There is a pleasant walk into the centre of town where there is a good mix of local shops, restaurants etc. The house has been recently refurbished and is clean, comfortable and well maintained.
