Gosforth is a cosy little village nestled between the mountains and the sea on the western fringe of the Lake District National Park. It boasts four pubs, a busy village shop, a cafe and restaurant and a great network of walks. Families are well catered for with an excellent play park in the village as well, or should you wish to do some messing about on the water, then why not try your hand at stand-up paddle boarding on Wastwater or kayaking down the crystal-clear River Esk? Muncaster Castle makes a great family day out just 6 miles away. It's a historic (and legend has it, haunted) gem, set in stunning grounds with lots of events going on for visitors throughout the year.

As soon as you walk into this property, you will feel a world away from everything and ready for your holiday. The lounge, located on the first floor, has all you need to relax and unwind, with a smart TV surrounded by two sofas and two armchairs. The modern kitchen is designed with ease in mind, with plenty of worktop space and a breakfast bar, large electric oven, microwave, fridge/freezer, and dishwasher. Next, is the conservatory which offers lovely views out over the garden and is a peaceful setting with comfy seating to enjoy some TV, a good book, or an evening drink. Finally on the ground floor is the dining room with some wonderful features such as the glass wall. There is a utility area located on the lower ground floor with a washing machine and bike storage. Onto the first floor, is the master bedroom with a king-size bed and plenty of storage space. Next is a super-king-size zip-and-link which can be made up as a twin on request, with an additional single bed in the alcove suitable for a child, with lovely views over the fells. Next door is the newly installed shower room and WC. Along the corridor is the brand new main bathroom with shower over bath and WC. Up the stairs on the second floor is the last bedroom, which is a triple room (3 single beds), and again this offers amazing views.

The garden offers a lovely lawned area with a seating area and a charcoal BBQ. There is also a covered area for storing bikes or other outdoor equipment. There is roadside parking, subject to availability.

Loved Upnover Cottage and its quirky layout. It is a great place to go back and relax in after a day of walking. Perfect location to spend bonfire night, much to the relief of our dogs. The welcome treats were very much appreciated.

A very comfortable and homely residence in a good location for a fine holiday. Very well equipped and spacious in every way except the bathroom which is compact and therefore functional rather than luxurious. We were five adults and three children and all very much enjoyed our stay.

This place is wonderful. Well appointed, comfy beds, lots of space, quirky layout and quiet. The village is lovely with lots of places to eat. The stuffed bread at the Wild Olive and the pies at the bakery were some of the best food we have eaten. Make sure you visit St Bees Beach and the Ravenglass railway.

A lovely village in a great location. We walked just 2 minutes up the road for a lovely roast dinner. The cottage was really nice, amenities were great. We managed the 1 bathroom okay with 5 adults and a toddler but it might be a struggle if there's more of you. Beds were clean and comfy and the rooms spacious.

A lovely cottage with plenty of space and in a nice remote location that has a local shop (quite pricey) and a few pubs to choose from. Front room had good facilities allowing us to relax and enjoy films. The Samsung smart TV allows you to connect a USB hard drive. Beds were very comfy and the towel supply was excellent.
