Marsh Villa

70 Customer Reviews

• "The house was very warm using the central heating."

  It had the extra benefit of a wood burner with a good supply of logs. The kitchen had a good supply of pots and pans including a slow cooker. The outlook across the marsh is good with plenty of birds to identify. This area of Silloth is very quiet. The only down side is, the road is not made up from the main road and on wet days one has to navigate the puddles or the car gets filthy. Good parking within the property. We have loved the accommodation and have been coming back for a number of years.

• "This was our 2nd stay in the cottage and we had a wonderful time here."

  We love the location, the views, the surrounding walks and all the animals and birds that surround the cottage. The cottage has everything we could possibly need on our visit.. The only thing I'd alter is the closure of the main bedroom door, it swung open several times whilst I was getting dressed,the door wedge is useless, we bought our own door wedge this year but that didn't work either. May be an hook and eye or a heavy doorstop would be better?

• "We really enjoyed our stay in this lovely cottage."

  The setting was just perfect and so peaceful. We appreciated all the little extras included which helped to make our stay so comfortable. The kitchen is very well equipped and included those essentials you tend to forget - salt, pepper, oils etc as well as tin foil, baking parchment etc. The starter pack was very welcome while we waited for our Tesco shop to arrive!

• "This is such a beautifully clean and characterful cottage."

  It appears newly decorated and carpeted in a charming seaside style. The situation is very near a lovely atmospheric coastline, great walks, amazing bird watching and so peaceful and restful. The cottage is very cosy, with a very efficient heating and hot water system. The beds are extremely comfortable with upmarket cotton bed linen. Silloth is just 5 minutes by car and, to our surprise and enjoyment, has a small, modern and pristine amusement arcade, an RNLI station and shop, excellent children's playgrounds and a lovely coastal walk past the 'Big Fella'! We had a really special lunch at the Fairydust Emporium and even the charity shops are excellent!.... everywhere is pristine and super child, dog and granny friendly!

• "Lovely throughout the cottage."

  Lovely quilt and bedding. The main bed is sound, just what we wanted. It is smashing that there is a wood burning stove. Hope to visit again next year. We found that every thing we needed was available in the kitchen or cottage. The front of the house, on a fine day, gets plenty of sun as it faces east. Sun rises are spectacular.

  It was a great location very quiet ..I used to go to silloth on holiday as a child so the memories were lovely.. the cottage was well equipped and the owner has left lots of personal touches. Thank you for the welcome pack it was delightful ..everytime we drove over the cattle grid into the fields the same wild hare jumped in front of our car. It became a great joke but it was also fabulous too see the wildlife. Would definitely recommend this villa

• "Very enjoyable stay."

  Lovely and quiet location. The cottage was spotlessly clean. The BBQ provided was a thoughtful addition. Great walks straight from the door. The freezer was full of the previous clients half eaten food. No washing line as advertised. The bedroom curtains, although stylish did not keep the room dark enough to get a good nights sleep. The small table and chairs in the rear garden were so dirty it was unusable. These are minor issues but I feel they should be fed back to the owner. The cottage is beautiful and in a great location and we would happily return. Please do not publish the negative feedback on the website. Thank you

• "We stayed here as an extended family of 6."

  We all agree that March Villa is a wonderful cottage, very Comfortable, spacious, clean and tidy. The whole Cottage was well furnished and stocked with everything you could need. The kitchen had all the utensils, crockery glass wear you could need. Hand wash, cleaning products and sanitizer was supplied. . The area around the cottage was stupendous with Hares and loads of birth life. All the neighbours were friendly, helpful and cheerful. It was very handy for the beach, Siloth, Wigton and Abbey town, Maryport. Was an easy drive from Hadrian's Wall and the Roman Fort of Vindolanda . There's so much to do in the area it would take several weeks to do everything.

  All the comforts & needs were thought of by the owners. Arrived to a welcome pack of milk, bread, various tea, coffee, jame, biscuits etc. idyllic setting & located in the heart of many places to visit. Log fire for cosy nights in with an amazing view of the marshland. A public footpath takes you to the front where there’s a view of neighbouring Dumfries. Set not far from silloth for your local amenities with take away, pub, cafes & amusements with further sea front setting. A well recommended accommodation & visit.

The sun room at the front was really nicely done and a lovely addition to the villa, it was so light and lovely to sit in, throughout the day and the log fire made the villa lovely and cozy in the evening.

Would definitely recommend Marsh Villa to friends and family, we all had a fantastic stay there.

• "The cottage was beautiful, all the little extras really made it a home away from home, from a fully ready to go fire ( and extra wood in the shed) to plenty of crockery and glassware, even cookery books and a slow cooker!"

  The milk and bread along with the tea and coffee basket was also amazing! We loved the thought that had been put into everything from hand cream in the window sill to dishwasher tablets, If I had one niggle it would be that the coffee table in the living room and dining room table was a little sticky, also lights and bookshelves where a little dusty, but we loved it so much we will be booking the cottage again!

• "Marsh Villa is exceptional in every way!"

  We could easily live here permanently! The attention to detail in every aspect was spot on & the place was immaculately clean when we arrived. So well equipped that we didn't need to bring a lot of the things we brought with us. Welcome pack & products etc included: eggs, bread, small milk, range of tea/coffee/hot chocolate sachets, biscuits, dishwasher tablets for the week, washing up liquid, sponge, cleaning products, mop, Hoover, iron & board, fire making materials, tea towels, oven gloves, handwash at all sinks, loo roll, kitchen roll, mini toiletries, salt & pepper, scrabble, playing cards, dog crate, bedding & towels. The only thing that isn't available is a hair dryer - so you need to bring your own. The only very minor negative is that the bedroom curtains are not blackout curtains. Amazing walks from the doorstep & ideally located to walk or drive into Silloth- which we found to be well looked after & the people were really friendly. Silloth West beach is better for dog walking than Skinburness beach, however our dogs enjoyed both. We also enjoyed the beach at Allonby, a visit to Maryport (25 mins) & also to Derwent Water (about 50 min drive). We will definitely be recommending Marsh Villa to our friends & family. We would definitely return.

  This is especially important when you holiday in the winter and take more stuff with you. The place was very well decorated and furnished, and also very easy to keep clean too. Well stocked kitchen, and bathrooms. Comfortable bed, and good wifi availability. Only a couple of minor annoyances: steep stairs, with no real grab rail at the top, and downstairs shower a bit weak. But these were not serious!

  Wonderful boot room for drying off wet dogs (and humans) and all other facilities were excellent. Good area for walking or touring the Lake District and west coast of Cumbria. The only tiny drawback was the steepness of the stairs but if you take care they are ok - don't think any elderly or infirm people could manage them though. Certainly one of the best equipped and thoughtfully decorated properties we've stayed in and we self-cater at least four times a year.
