Overview
Property code: OC-82453

Get ready for a huge trip. This converted farmhouse would be the perfect place to host a family reunion or a getaway for a big group of friends. You’ll be staying in Redmain, a hamlet just outside Cockermouth, surrounded by beautiful countryside and fairly close to the sea.

Enter through a porch and go ahead into the lounge. It’s a comfortable and cosy place with exposed beams, a tiled floor and a wood burner. Continue to the conservatory, which is equipped with a dining table and a seating area, so make the most of the sunlight and look over the garden. There’s a formal dining table, and then a kitchen/diner with a long stone table. The ground floor also has a downstairs WC, pantry, boot room, utility room, and finally a double bedroom with an en-suite shower. Head upstairs, where you’ll find two twin rooms, both with en-suite shower rooms, and a double bedroom with an en-suite shower room. Go through the hallway and up two more steps, where there are two double bedrooms with en-suite shower rooms, and finally head to the upstairs corridor for two super-king-size bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms. Both have showers over the baths.

There are places all around you to explore and enjoy. To start with, plan a day on the beach in Allonby, 8.5 miles away, or go to Maryport, 7 miles away, which has coastline, go-karting, an aquarium and a marina. The closest town is Cockermouth, 3 miles away, where you’ll find lots of nice places to eat and a weekly market. Finish the break with a day at Bassenthwaite Lake National Nature Reserve (7 miles).

  • 8 bedrooms - 4 doubles, 2 twins, and 2 super-king-size - sleeping a maximum of  16 people including infants
  • 6 en-suite shower rooms with WC and 2 en-suite bathrooms with shower over bath and WC

A lovely house that was great value for money, especially when staying the week with a large group. The sunroom was absolutely glorious for a group of crafters and was wonderful to spend time in, especially in the rain, and the living room and beds were all very comfortable and functional. The dining room table is huge, which was great for cutting Read morecloth, doing puzzles and playing board games. It's in a really good location, with essential shops, Keswick and Bassenthwaite Lake nearby along excellent roads (only one very short length of single track), and you can see Skiddaw from the windows, which inspired us to go see it closer up! This isn't a luxury house, but it has everything needed and it was absolutely great for somewhere to meet for a holiday between Scotland and the South of England. It's worth being aware that check-in time is 5pm, especially if coming from a long way away. The kitchenware was somewhat eclectic but we had almost everything we needed; would recommend bringing a sharp knife. The main kitchen dishwasher didn't work, but this wasn't a problem as there was another one in the smaller kitchen, and plenty of trays plus a rather fun wheeling tray table. We're hoping to book again for next year, would absolutely recommend! Hide

Redmain Hall promises so much, but it was nowhere near the standard of holiday home we have become used to during the last 36 years of annual holidays as a group of 6 couples. The bedrooms were inadequately furnished, some with no hanging rail or wardrobe and some without any drawers or shelf space and although the water pressure was very fierce, iRead moret took 7 minutes at full power to get hot water flowing in our bedroom, with a great deal of noise! There was black mould inside the shower cubicles. The downstairs has a strange layout - utility room at one end, then the kitchen with a slope down to the dining room and the "pantry" room at the end. The working dishwasher is in the pantry and the dishwasher in the kitchen is not working - apparently the owners are not going to replace it. All the crockery is stored in the kitchen, so it has to be carried from one end of the house to the other, down/up the slope, before/after washing! The crockery needs to be replaced, some items are chipped and all the plates have a crazed surface. The handrail, on the slope, was not fixed securely to the wall when we arrived and the push buttons on a toilet flush were broken, but when we called maintenance these problems were promptly remedied. The information book in the house says " the barbecue, tables and seating area are for guest's enjoyment" - the barbecue was a rusty wreck with a hole in the bottom!! On the plus side the house is in a fabulous location with wonderful views. Hide

Pros: beautiful scenery. Lots of parking, enough space indoors for the guests with plenty of seating. Heated flooring downstairs. Overall the bedrooms were good, and we all liked having our own en-suites. Cons: it could definitely be cleaner, there was coffee still left in the French presses, lots of dust and dirt underneath all sofas and sidebRead moreoards. Cobwebs over a lot of windows. A leaking shower that was dripping through the lounge ceiling onto one of the sofas. Not all the amenities advertised were available. A lot of the kitchen equipment is damaged, making them useless. All in all, the property needs a little bit more attention to the cleaning and maintenance, and replacing some kitchen equipment. We enjoyed our stay but if youve booked this cottage bring some kitchen equipment with you (knives, chopping boards, oven gloves, teaspoons, frying pan) and prepare to need to sweep the floors. Hide

The house is well located & comfortable, very cosy & cleaned beautifully on arrival. Wonderful views & spacious rooms. Maintenance is an issue however, we stayed here one year & and many of the problems we experienced then still have not been resolved - its impossible to unlock the kitchen door from the inside, & the downstairs toilet takes foreverRead more to refill & wobbles. Disappointed to find the kitchen dishwasher broken - not ideal with 13 people to cook for. No reply to message sent during stay Hide

Beautiful farmhouse in a lovely setting. Comfortable in terms of seating, dining area and beds, however there was few niggles. When we arrived the heating and lights werent working, and we had to sort out the fuse. Had problems with heating and radiators all weekend which meant bedrooms were generally colder. If youre not a fan of spiders, be warneRead mored lots of spiders (dead and alive) and spiderwebs throughout the house. Also kitchenware needed washing before use and there is a lack of glasses.

Beautifully located property with stunning views of the Lakeland Hills. Property was fantastic, comfortable, clean and well equipped. The management team were great at communicating with us. Very much enjoyed our stay on a school reunion with a party of 8 and would definitely return.
