Tallentire, near Cockermouth
Bush Cottage is a cosy two bedroom terraced cottage, situated in the quiet village of Tallentire, near Cockermouth, on the North Western edge of the Lake District National Park.
Originally a farm worker’s cottage, dating back to the 1850’s, it has recently been refurbished to provide well appointed, modern and comfortable accommodation, although it retains original features. There is a cosy living room with wood burning stove, dining room, kitchen, one double, one twin bedroom with travel cot, and bathroom with electric shower. Outside there is a private garden with lawn, patio area, barbecue and furniture. The property is centrally heated and all fuel, power and linen is included in the rent.
Bush Cottage is near to the village pub which serves prize-winning real ales and food. It offers a convenient base from which to explore the lesser known Western lakes and fells, and the unspoilt Solway coast, with its history of smuggling. Tallentire is only three miles from the popular market town of Cockermouth, with its many attractions including Wordsworth’s house, Jennings Brewery Tours, a leisure centre as well as galleries, specialist shops, restaurants and pubs. Keswick, on the shores of Derwentwater, is only 15 miles away, and the historic border city of Carlisle is 20 miles. Penrith and Whitehaven are all within easy reach.
Bush Cottage is rented on a weekly basis from Saturday to Saturday, but short breaks are also available. Prices are from £140 for short breaks to £450 for a week in high season.
The property is maintained by the owner, and is rated "4 star self catering" by Visit Britain. The cottage is no smoking, and no pets are allowed.
