Cumbria & The Lake District’s #1 Coworking Space
Finding a true work-life balance on holiday in the Lake District can be tricky. You come for the sweeping fell views, peaceful lake walks, and crisp Cumbrian air, but real life doesn’t always pause just because you’ve packed a backpack. Whether you are taking a “workation,” sneaking in an hour to answer urgent client emails, or need to log onto an important video call while the family visits a nearby attraction, working from a holiday cottage dining table or a noisy cafe with patchy Wi-Fi is rarely productive.
That is why holidaymakers needing a professional, stress-free space to get things done should head to The Vicky shared workspace.
Located in the centre of the historic market town of Cockermouth—just a short 15-minute drive or £3 bus ride from Keswick and the heart of the northern lakes—The Vicky offers a dedicated, vibrant co-working ecosystem right on the doorstep of the National Park. Housed in the charmingly converted Victoria Hall (a former chapel featuring high ceilings and bright, modern interior touches), it combines the warmth of a local community hub with all the infrastructure of a city-grade office.

Flexible, Hassle-Free Access ( Opening hours 9am – 5 pm weekdays)
When you’re on holiday, you don’t want to jump through hoops or commit to complicated contracts. The Vicky is designed for total flexibility. Whether you need a hot desk for a single day, a 4-day flexible pass, or a private meeting room for an hour-long pitch, everything is transparent and easy to book online. There are no hidden fees, no long-term leases, and no complicated sign-up procedures—just bring your laptop, pick a spot, and get straight to work.
A Professional Workspace Away from Vacation Distractions
Trying to focus in a holiday rental with kids playing, friends planning dinner, or the temptation of taking an early afternoon stroll can double the time it takes to finish a simple task. The Vicky provides a clear boundary between work and holiday mode. Its ergonomic setups, spacious desks, auxiliary screens, printing facilities, and calm environment mean you can operate at 100% efficiency.
By batching your work into a focused morning session at The Vicky business centre, you preserve the rest of your holiday uninterrupted.
Dedicated Meeting Spaces & Acoustic Privacy
If your work day involves confidential client discussions or team strategy calls, working out of a bustling tearoom in Windermere, Ambleside or Keswick isn’t going to cut it. The Vicky features a custom 4-person meeting pod and private meeting room facilities, allowing you to take calls in private without background chatter.
Genuine Local Hospitality
Beyond the tech, what truly sets The Vicky apart is its warm, welcoming feel. You aren’t just renting a desk; you’re greeted with friendly local hosts, bottomless tea and coffee, biscuits, and a supportive community of local hybrid workers, remote workers and fellow visitors.
By choosing The Vicky coworking space during your Lake District getaway, you get the best of both worlds: a seamless, high-speed workspace that lets you wrap up your job efficiently, giving you maximum time back to enjoy the fells & lakes.
