Make your great escape to the tranquil Cumbrian village of Mockerkin and settle for the duration at this two-bedroom, ground-floor apartment. Enjoy the holiday accommodation as a base from which to explore this corner of the Lake District, on foot, by bicycle or even on horseback from Ennerdale Bridge, 5.5 miles away. Drive 6 miles to Crummock Water to hike round the lake or hire rowing boats to go out on the water. Spend the afternoon in Cockermouth, also 6 miles away, where William Wordsworth was born. Visit his childhood home, take a tour of the local brewery and choose between a fine selection of cafes, pubs and restaurants when it comes to dining out.

Step into this ground-floor apartment and find yourselves in a generous hall where you can slip off your shoes and hang your raincoats and jackets. Make your way into the lounge/dining room to take a little time out after your long journey. Settle on the comfortable seating to chat about your plans, choose a book, watch the TV, with Freeview, or enjoy a DVD together. On warm days open the doors on to the shared courtyard to let in a summer breeze. As mealtimes beckon, head through into the kitchen to whip up delicious dishes. Discover all you need here, including an electric oven and hob, with extractor, a microwave, fridge and four-slice toaster. There is a useful washer/dryer too, plus a freezer in a separate cupboard. When dinner is ready pull the chairs up to the table in the lounge/diner. From the hall, make your way into the bedrooms, which include a double, with en-suite shower room, with handbasin and WC, and a twin. The family bathroom, with its bath, with shower above, WC and handbasin, is also here.

Enjoy the shared courtyard whenever the weather is fine. A total of four holiday homes have access to this. Dine out here or take a cup of tea into the sunshine after a long day out exploring. There is a parking area at the property.

There were various issues with this flat including mould and mice. Various areas of the flat were not clean. 2nd shower did not work, no plug for the bath and there were no light bulbs in quite a few lights. The owner was helpful and did offer to give us a refund but we couldnt find anywhere else to stay at short notice. Positives were the price anRead mored location Hide
