Home description
Situated on the quieter side of the Lake District, just a few miles from Loweswater Lake yet within easy reach of Cockermouth, Keswick and the busier areas, Apple Tree House is a lovely place to come back to after a days walking on the fells.
The nearest pub is just over a mile away in the neighbouring village and Cockermouth is a 5 mile drive for food supplies and also to see Wordsworth's house, Jennings Brewery, antique shops, cafes and riverside walks.
The house itself is warm and comfortable with a sunny garden outside.

The Cumbria/Lake District
With its lakeside walks and high mountains, Cumbria offers something for everyone. There is also a wealth of history with stately homes, Roman ruins and stone circles. Home of Cumberland sausage, sticky toffee pudding and a wide variety of real ales, what better way is there to celebrate being on holiday?
Ullock area
Ullock is the perfect starting place to explore the Lake District. Loweswater Lake is just five miles away, with Buttermere and Crummock just a mile or two beyond. At Loweswater is the Kirkstile Inn at one end - a pub renowned for good food.
Having visited Loweswater and Crummock Water, drive through the Newlands Valley, over Whinlatter Forest Pass to Braithwaite and then Keswick beyond. It's a lovely drive and Keswick is a busy market town (market day is Thursday and Saturday) with lots going on. Here you can go boating on the Lake, hire bikes, visit the climbing wall, take a trip to the "Cars of the Stars" Museum, the Puzzling Place or even the Pencil Museum (all good wet weather activities for kids and adults alike). Keswick also has a theatre and a cinema (which also shows World Cinema films on a Sunday afternoon throughout winter).
In the opposite direction is Ennerdale Lake with its forest walks and mountain biking. You can walk right round the lake or up Pillar and the surrounding fells.
Just beyond Ennerdale, on Cold Fell, is Bradley's Farm which has pony trekking on the fell. Driving along the fell road and coming across the ponies apparently roaming wild is quite a sight to see.
Cumbria's western coast is also nearby - Whitehaven is ten miles away and was once the second biggest port in Britain. The harbour area of this Georgian town has been regenerated and the Beacon is also worth a visit. There is both a Tesco and a Morrisons here, although for general high street shops go to Workington (8 miles from Apple Tree House) which has just had a new shopping centre built, as well as having the nearest multi-screen cinema.
How to get there
From Junction 40 on the M6 motorway, take the A66 past Keswick to the Cockermouth Roundabout. Turn left at the roundabout down the A5806 for five miles and Ullock village is half a mile off this road to the right.
