B&Bs are frequently owner-operated, and generally
offer a more personal level of service than you might find by
staying in a larger hotel. In many cases you will be a guest
in the owner's private home.
Cockermouth Heritage Snapshot
Cockermouth Castle was built shortly after the Norman Conquest. It passed through owners both noble and regal, including Piers Gaveston, favourite of Edward II. When Maud, sister of Lord Lucy, married Henry Percy, Earl of Northumberland sometime around 1380, part of her dowry was Cockermouth Castle. Percy and his heirs, however, were only allowed title to the castle on condition that they adopt the arms of Lucy quartered with their own.
