Situated in the village of Papcastle, this cottage, offering self-catering accommodation for two, is ideally located for exploring the Lake District with the convenience of all the facilities that the nearby town of Cockermouth has to offer. The pub in Papcastle is within walking distance of the cottage and serves real ale and excellent homecooked bar meals.

Cockermouth is just a mile away and has a supermarket as well as smaller shops, a small cinema, cafes, restaurants and pubs, and river walks.

Loweswater Lake is the cottage's nearest lake with lovely woodland walks. For the more energetic, Skiddaw is one of the highest mountains in the Lake District and is a 15-minute drive away.

The front porch leads into a sitting room with a dining area for two people. The sitting room is light and warm with a beautiful, traditional sandstone fireplace with a wood burner and comfortable seating for two in front of a TV.

The kitchen is fully equipped with electric cooker, fridge/freezer, microwave and washing machine.

Steep stairs lead to a cosy double bedroom. The bed will be made up for you and two small bath towels and two hand towels are provided. The bathroom features a white suite, with a bath and shower over, wash basin and WC.
