The story
Isel Bridge House is a Georgian river house on a private salmon beat of the Derwent, four miles upstream of Cockermouth. The garden runs to the water; the mossy arches of Isel Bridge sit at the foot of it.
The whole house is taken on exclusive use — four double bedrooms in the main house and four in the cottage, a long kitchen-dining room built for a table of ten, two sitting rooms and a boot room for the wet kit. The main house sleeps 8, the cottage sleeps 7.
It's a house for the kind of weekend that needs no agenda — fly fishing on the doorstep within the rules of the river and times of year, walks straight out into Isel Park, and Cockermouth or Bassenthwaite a ten-minute drive when you want them.
