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.
