Berwyn Bank, Cockermouth And The North West Fells

Berwyn Bank6 bedrooms, Sleeps 12 + 1 Baby.

Flagged floors, beams and big views give Berwyn Bank more personality than the average large holiday let. This converted sandstone bank barn sleeps 12 in 6 bedrooms with 5 bathrooms, so it works well for extended families or a group of friends who want proper space without losing a sense of character. Three ground-floor bedrooms are en suite, while upstairs there’s a large sitting room with a multi-fuel burner and a long outlook towards the Scottish mountains and the Solway Coast.

The unusual layout comes from the building’s past, with level external access to both floors, and bedrooms five and six sharing a Jack and Jill bathroom with a spa bath. Days here can be as active or as slow as you like: there’s a private enclosed garden for barbecues, an optional hot tub, and shared use of an indoor heated pool with Jacuzzi and sauna by arrangement. With a pub within half a mile, fishing nearby and room for 2 dogs, it suits celebratory breaks that still want easy-going countryside surroundings.
