The accommodation is of very high standards with everything you could possibly need. The homely touches made it a lovely place to spend time.

It has everything I needed
I felt a bit cold at night, should have closed the door of the bedroom to keep the warmth in side the room.

The apartment is elegantly decorated and the bed one of the most comfortable I've ever slept in (and I travel a lot). The kitchen is well equipped and easy to operate. Vanessa, the lovely hostess, even left me a gorgeous cake. If you don't want to cook there is the ship Inn a few minutes walk away.
The house is close to the road however there is good soundproofing when you get inside

Really excelente especially for the price, only good things to say, if you go you have to check out the train resteraunt a 10 minute drive away! (Literally a resteraunt in an old stream train!)
Can't fault the stay at all.

The location was ideal for many areas of the Lake District. It was easy to find, and very quiet despite being just off a main road. It was well stocked with amenities and Vanessa, the host, even baked us a cake. We found it very comfortable and cosy. The shower is excellent too.

Wonderful return visit to Dovenby - beautifully appointed apartment, great standards, excellent host! Vanessa is welcoming, friendly and nothing is too much trouble, including baking a yummy cake for each booking. The externally repainted house itself is stunning too, a very welcoming sight coming down the hill. Just love this place!

This was a well appointed, comfortable and stylish apartment which was very local to family we were visiting. Very close to Cockemouth also, and short distance to the Solway Firth and Allonby beaches.
We cannot fault anything! :) Extra touches such as bathrobes and huge bath sheets were a bonus and luxury White Company toiletries were appreciated.

This is self-catering accommodation, a priority for us as we enjoy the freedom and flexibility it affords. The location is most attractive and not far from Cockermouth centre. The pub over the road is very handy with good value basic home-cooked food.
Leaving this beautiful & comfortable place!
