Nigel 
“I found “The Annex “ to be one of those gems you occasionally come across when renting holiday accommodation.”
It has everything you might need with modern facilities. It is set in a quiet area of the northern Lake District but after a 30 minute drive you can be in Keswick, Penrith or Carlisle. The owners live close by to help with any issues and are welcoming but not intrusive. A n ideal location if you want to walk the Caldbeck fells and Skiddaw. 10/10

About the location
CALDBECK
Wigton 7.5 miles; Carlisle 12 miles; Keswick 16 miles; Cockermouth 17 miles.
The charming Cumbrian village of Caldbeck is situated on the northern fringes of the Lake District National Park and is surrounded by beautiful moorland and fells. It’s a classic stone built village with a church, pub, village green and duck pond. The church dates back to the 12th century and is famous for being the resting place of the renowned huntsman John Peel. Although in every sense a ‘traditional working village’, the local craft centre at Priest Mill and the riverside walks to the Howk gorge, draw visitors to Caldbeck. The village is an ideal base for the northern Lakes, the market town of Keswick, as well as Lakes Derwentwater and Bassenthwaite. The natural beauty of the Solway coast, well-known for its golf courses and the town of Cockermouth, the birthplace of William Wordsworth are close by, whilst also within driving distance is the cathedral city of Carlisle, Hadrian’s Wall and the Scottish Borders.
