    The apartment was spotless when we arrived, is well equipped and well maintained. There were some brownies to welcome us, and plenty of tea and coffee. The views and the surrounding countryside are spectacular, and we had a very relaxing stay.

The apartment is in Dovenby House., a cream coloured Georgian House . It has its own private entrance and parking in front of the building for one vehicle
I do hope that you come and stay at your newly renovated apartment . We live 5 minutes away so can provide any information you might require for your stay. Cockermouth is 5 minutes away by car and has some fabulous restaurants and shops and two large supermarkets. The lakes are easy to access by car - Loweswater, Crummock Water and Buttermere being the nearest.
