The Collective

Stays

Six characterful rooms above a riverside inn, with hand-pulled ales and slow-cooked Cumbrian fare below.

Vaulted oak beams, gothic arched windows and a slow morning light over Cockermouth.

Six apartments carved from sandstone walls and stained-glass arches.

A Victorian villa hotel with views over the lake to Catbells and the Newlands fells.

Eight bedrooms split across the main house and the cottage on the banks of the River Derwent.

Pew seating, deep green walls and a short, sharp list of gins and cocktails.

Real ale, a tight kitchen, and a bar that's been pulling pints since 1719.

Fell views, a serious kitchen and a fire that runs from October to April.
