Perfectly situated just around the corner from Cockermouth town centre, this delightful terraced house is ideal for a relaxing break and offers easy access to this popular Cumbrian hotspot. Poet’s Retreat is a well-presented property which is located just a 2-minute walk from central Cockermouth. With a great selection of pubs and restaurants all within a few minutes’ walk, you can leave the car behind and explore the best bits this town has to offer on foot. Renovated in 2018, this beautiful property is a great choice that can comfortably accommodate up to four guests. Featuring a double bedroom with an en-suite toilet and a twin bedded room, this house is an excellent choice for couples or small families looking for a spacious holiday home at any time of year.

Cockermouth has a great selection of dining options all within five minutes’ walk including Italian bistros, gastro pubs, delis, independent coffee shops and fast food, which means you may decide not to cook at all. It has a vibrant centre and it really is an amazing place with lovely walks along the river and a range of independent speciality shops. Within 50 yards you are on Kirkgate, home to Kirkgate Arts if you fancy taking in some performing arts on your holiday. Or you can visit Wordsworth House, the birthplace of William Wordsworth, from which this holiday cottage takes its name. You can swim at the local leisure pool or take a trip to the famous Jennings Brewery, nestled beneath the castle walls, and offers tastings and bottled beers to take away.

A stay at Poet’s Retreat gives you the best of both worlds, surrounded on three sides by the Lake District National Park, which means you can choose between the rugged, mountainous scenery of the Lakes and the sandy beaches of the West Cumbria coastline. Jump in the car and visit Bassenthwaite Lake, just 5 miles away, a picturesque lake with beautiful views and the backdrop of Skiddaw, one of the highest mountains in England. Bassenthwaite is also home to The Lake District Wildlife Park, 6 miles, offering a fun day out for all the family, as well as The Lakes Distillery with good food and tasting tours. The popular town of Keswick is 14 miles away, or for walking and cycling enthusiasts you’ll be sure to love Whinlatter Forest Park. Beach 10 miles. Shop and restaurant 550 yards, pub 100 yards.

We had a fabulous few days at poets retreat we had everything we needed at the cottage.
We had a fabulous few days at poets retreat we had everything we needed at the cottage. The only slight issue was the parking however we must have been lucky as by the time we had drove round the block each time there was a space outside. But of course that is definitely not a negative on the cottage as it was perfect. We would stay here again it was great. Thank you x Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

An excellent terraced cottage a few minutes walk from the town centre.
An excellent terraced cottage a few minutes walk from the town centre. Usually room to park (free) outside, only once did we have to walk from slightly further away. Amenities all very good and no problems apart from not being able to get in on first day. The owner drove about 30 miles to help and, of course, the key box immediately opened for him! He kept his sense of humour though! Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

We spent a week here and loved it.
We spent a week here and loved it. The house is bigger than it looks. It is immaculately clean. Comfy bed, excellent kitchen, great shower. Easy check in. Great location and never had a problem parking. There is a book with instructions for every device and for local amenities We visited the Lakes, the Cumbrian coast (St Bees is a must), Carlisle and Scotland We were lucky with weather and we had a fabulous time. Staying in Cockermouth was a great choice and staying at Poet's Retreat was an even better choice. Loved it. If you are looking at Poet's Retreat we recommend it highly...Book it !!!
