Kia Ora is how Moari's welcome guests, and welcome is exactly how you'll feel when you arrive at this lovely self-catering cottage in Cockermouth. With two comfortable bedrooms and open-plan living space, it's ideal for couples and families. The holiday cottage is on a quiet residential road about a 10-minute walk from the centre of town, within easy reach of shops, cafes and pubs. Crummock South Beach is only a short drive away, as is the Lake District National Park.
You'll always be glad you took a holiday in the Lake District. The landscape is incredible and includes Scafell Pike and Wastwater, England's highest peak and deepest lake. If you love your holidays to be full of record breakers, then you will be delighted to discover that the Lake District is England's biggest national park, has the country's smallest church (St Olaf's), and is home to the world's oldest topiary garden at Levens Hall. All of these wonders are within an hour's drive of Kia Ora, but you'll find the world's longest coloured pencil in the Pencil Museum in Keswick, and England's sole mountain forest at Whinlatter, just a quarter of an hour's drive from the cottage.
There's so much to do in and around Cockermouth that you can easily fill your days with excitement, adventure and fun. Likewise, if you're searching for calmness and serenity, you'll find that here, too. Take time to explore the pretty market town and discover gems like the medieval Cockermouth Castle, destroyed by Robert the Bruce and only open to the public during the town's festival in July. Wander through the rooms where William Wordsworth and his sister, Dorothy, were born, and shop for local and artisan products at the small Friday morning market in the same way locals have since the town's Market Charter was issued in 1220.
Outside of town, visitors can enjoy a vast choice of walks through Buttermere, Calbeck, Bassenthwaite and Loweswater. Go fishing, play golf or head for the hill and forests on your mountain bike. Take your bucket and spade to beaches at St Bees and Maryport, or pack a picnic for a day at the Lake District Wildlife Park and Whinlatter Forest Park.
The weather is never a deterrent to fun when you stay at Kia Ora as the cottage is perfectly located to provide excellent access to destinations that suit every condition. As Cockermouth is slightly outside the National Park's boundaries, you have all the benefits of the scenery with none of the tourist-related congestion that can afflict some of the region's towns. When you stay at Kia Ora, you can expect a warm welcome all year round.
