OWNERS' COMMENTS

Mum really enjoyed living at Lancaster Court. She loved the ever changing views from her balcony and across the river and liked meeting new people at the coffee mornings and book club. She felt safe with the personal alarm system and easy to get around flat and appreciated being a short distance from all Cockermouth's amenities. Our family also found it great to be able to hire the guest room and the communal lounge for various gatherings .
