Welcome to The Fitz - a grand Lakeland retreat like no other. From the moment you sweep up the driveway and glimpse the magnificent façade framed by 20 acres of lush parkland, you’ll know you’ve arrived somewhere special. This elegant country house, set in the historic market town of Cockermouth, combines timeless Cumbrian character with luxurious, modern indulgence. Whether you’re celebrating a milestone event or planning a family gathering, The Fitz promises an unforgettable stay filled with laughter, luxury and Lake District charm.
Inside, you’ll find spaces designed for both grandeur and togetherness. The reception rooms are rich with character – glistening chandeliers, intricate ceiling cornices, antique clocks and local artwork that nods to the region’s heritage. Curl up beside the log burning fire in the plush lounge, choose a favourite from the extensive book and DVD collection, or gather everyone for an evening of board games and wine. Huge sash windows frame views across the park, filling each room with soft natural light and a sense of serenity.
The heart of the home is the spectacular kitchen and dining area – a cook’s dream, complete with marble surfaces, four electric ovens, an induction hob and space to seat 24 guests beneath a dazzling chandelier. The seven ensuite bedrooms are equally impressive, styled in calming hues of blush pink, soft blue and warm neutrals. Two master suites feature super-king size beds and elegant marble bathrooms with freestanding tubs overlooking the park. A ground-floor disabled suite ensures comfort for all guests, while zip-and-link beds in several rooms offer flexibility for families and groups.
Outside, the magic continues. Explore 20 acres of private parkland, complete with a trampoline, playhouse hut and plenty of space for adventures. As the evening draws in, head to the enchanting BBQ House – a cosy woodland-style lodge with a modern indoor fire pit, perfect for toasting marshmallows and sharing stories under the stars. A bubbling hot tub adds a final touch of indulgence to this exceptional estate.
Venture beyond the gates and you’re moments from Cockermouth’s independent shops, cafés and historic landmarks. Explore Wordsworth House, follow riverside walks to Derwentwater or Bassenthwaite Lake, and discover the wild beauty of the western Lake District – where mountains, waterfalls and tranquil fells are all waiting to be explored.
