About this property
Great Broughton 1.1 miles. Nordene is an inviting, single storey lodge based in on the Brigham holiday park, close to the town of Cockermouth. Perfect for families looking to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life, Nordene boasts an inviting open-plan living space, perfect for gathering after a day of adventure and collecting your thoughts. Curl up on the sofa and tune into the Smart TV or take over the kitchen as you cook up a storm with help from a choice of appliances – there's even a handy washing machine for your laundry. Step through to the bedrooms to catch your rest, the master dominated by a king-size bed whilst there’s a pretty twin for the children. Awaken from a deep slumber with a rinse in the shower room or taking advantage of the other bathroom, before stepping out to the decking and enjoying a coffee. Give the chef a break from cooking and head out to the local pubs for some grub; Great Broughton is nearby and home to the Brewery House and Punch Bowl Inn Pub. For a greater choice of amenities, Cockermouth is just two miles away and boasts a wealth of restaurants, bars, pubs and cafés, plus there’s a plethora of stunning walking trails and scenery to uncover; make a pit stop at Bassenthwaite Lake, where you can test your watersport skills or head to the Lake District Wildlife Park for a chance to get up close and personal with a range of animals. Further afield, the attractions of Keswick are not to be missed, including the Derwent Pencil Museum or take a relaxing stroll along the River Greta and admire the picturesque beauty of Lake Derwentwater. All this and much more awaits at Nordene.
A hamlet called Brigsteer can be found in Cumbria, midway between the cities of Helsington and Levens and about five miles from Kendal. Scout Scar overlooks the village of Brigsteer, which is situated on the edge of the Lyth valley. A village hall and a nearby bar called The Wheatsheaf Inn are among the village's amenities. In the village of Brigsteer, three farms are still in operation today, though many more developments have been added since. Additional amenities can be found in nearby Levens, including a general store/newsagent and a bar. Levens is made up of a collection of elegant, stone-built traditional homes, cottages, and barn conversions that are surrounded by undeveloped countryside, a nature reserve, and a variety of flora and fauna. As the Southern Gateway to the Lakes, Kendal is further away but is the best location for exploring South Lakeland, the Yorkshire Dales, and other areas.

. Lack of kitchen utensils e.g 3 teaspoons only, no tray, no bread board no measuring jug, no fruit bowel. When I took cover off duvet at end of stay it was stained. 1 broken slat on blinds, 1 slat missing. On the plus side there was milk left in fridge, tea bags coffee left, nice touch. Beautiful shower with lots of hot water.
