To the front, take advantage of the enclosed garden, where you can dine alfresco and allow your furry friend to roam freely, whilst the rear courtyard offers a haven for hosting, with outdoor furniture and a private hot tub ready to enjoy. Step indoors and kickstart your break in the spacious sitting room, with plenty of plush seating to sink into whilst the woodburning stove roars and offers a gentle glow. The kitchen is well-equipped with all the essentials to rustle up delicious family meals, to be enjoyed in the formal dining room, adorned by lofty ceilings and delightful, antique furniture; a handy utility is also on offer, where you can store your walking boots, washing and outdoor equipment. Eight inviting bedrooms are on offer, the first resting on the ground floor, complete with a sumptuous king-size bed and a handy cloakroom next door. Travel up to the first floor to find two further king-size bedrooms, a double, and a twin, all featuring stylish yet traditional interiors, and serviced by a sleek shower room and an indulgent bathroom with roll-top bath. Completing the sleeping arrangements, locate a further king-size, double, and single on the second floor, all enjoying elevated views across Whitehaven and plenty of space to accommodate your whole group; a bathroom is also on offer for convenience. Whitehaven town is full of life, with historical attractions such as the Rum Story, the Beacon Museum and the Haig Mining Museum, shops, pubs, and eateries. For those looking to explore the area, nearby Saint Bees is home to a beautiful beach, the ruins of the 12th-century Priory, and fabulous coastal walking trails, overlooking the heather-covered hills of the Lake District. With Seaton, Cockermouth and Loweswater all nearby, enjoy touring each before heading for the gateway into the lakes, with an expanse of rolling hills and tranquil lakeside scenes to enjoy. Wherever you choose to explore, 8 Corkickle is the perfect base from which to experience Cumbria.
The West Cumbrian town of Whitehaven is situated on the coast between the sparkling sea and the Lakeland Fells. It was one of the first ‘planned’ towns in England and today can boast almost 250 Listed Georgian buildings and some beautiful parks and gardens. Today the town’s harbour is a designated conservation area and visitors can learn about the town’s history at the excellent Beacon Heritage Centre. The surrounding coastline has much to offer, not least its old smugglers villages, such as Ravenglass, and the red sandstone cliffs of pretty St Bees - now the start of Wainwright’s famous “Coast to Coast” Walk. Meanwhile inland you can enjoy the tranquillity of the Western lakes: Ennerdale, Loweswater, Crummock, Buttermere and Wastwater. Ennerdale is perhaps the most peaceful of all the lakes, with no public roads running along its National Trust owned shoreline.
