For the evenings where you do not feel like cooking, be sure to linger over a pint at the neighbouring pub, the Last Man Inn before sampling their excellent home-cooked dining menu.
Alternatively, journey into the nearby town of Aspatria, where you will find a small collection of pubs, takeaways and shops, as well as a working railway, easily connecting you to Maryport and Carlisle and the church of St Kentigern, home to an avenue of yew trees, which leads to the site where a Norman church once stood.
Avid ramblers can don their boots and visit the Lake District National Park, where a network of paths and trails are awaiting to be explored, whilst beachcombers can follow along the picturesque Solway Coast.
Be sure to brush up on the local history with a visit to the National Trust property of Wordsworth House and Garden or spend a tranquil afternoon at Mirehouse & Gardens with park well-worth exploring.
Those with children will enjoy the Lake District Wildlife Park, where over 100 species of exotic animals live at the 25-acre park or you could meet the alpacas at the Lakes Distillery, there is certainly something for everyone here!
Travel slightly further into the national park to find Keswick, where you can enjoy the waters of Derwentwater, marvel at the offbeat collection at Keswick Museum and visit the National Trust Derwent Island House for a unique afternoon out.
