As you may have seen reported in the news, Cockermouth was hit by devastating floods in November 2009. Local businesses are working very hard to make sure that they reopen as soon as possible. In the mean time, many have relocated to other parts of the town, and are continuing to trade as normal. You can give them your support by continuing to visit this stunning area of the North West Lakes.

Ian Stephens, the Chief Executive at Cumbria Tourism, is calling for visitors to continue to support the County's vital tourism industry during this difficult time to ensure that businesses, lives and infrastructure can be rebuilt. He said, "It is more important than ever that people realise that Cumbria is not under water. The Lake District is a vast area, and there are many parts of the County that have been largely unaffected, and continue to be accessible."

There are many other interesting places to visit and magnificent scenery to view in this unspoilt area of Cumbria. See the local area pages .

Bush Cottage was totally unaffected by the floods, and is now taking bookings for 2010 at 2009 prices- see the prices page.
