2 Link House, Bassenthwaite Lake, Cockermouth, CA13 9YD Link House is a superb detached, double fronted property set amid delightful landscaped gardens and commanding panoramic fell and forest views. Reputed to have been built in 1903 for two widowed sisters from nearby Higham Hall, the property was then extended and subsequently used as a Sunday school for the surrounding community before becoming a guest house, for which it is eminently suited and much enjoyed by both visitors and owners alike. Link House is situated almost midway between the Cumbrian towns of Keswick and Cockermouth - birthplace of William Wordsworth and oldest town in Cumbria as well as being situated just off the A66 at the northern most tip of Bassenthwaite Lake. A superbly tranquil location for the serious walker or tourist, Link House is close to the Whinlatter Visitors Centre from where the ospreys who nest nearby each year can be seen. A little further afield are the oft forgotten lakes at Buttermere, Crummock and Loweswater, while Keswick is only 10 minutes away by car and offers so much from its traditional heritage to its interesting shopping and many festivals throughout the year, making Link House an ideal place to stay for the many thousands of visitors who come to the Lake District over an ever increasing season. Link House was acquired by the present owners in 2010 and they immediately set about a significant refurbishment of this delightful property. Both the owners and visitor s lounges have been completely refurbished, the breakfast room and conservatory have been refurbished and there has been significant upgrading of the letting bedrooms which have helped to achieve a Visit Britain 4 Star Silver rating. However, due to changing family circumstances, the owner has now decided to sell Link House.
