"Comfortable, well equipped cottage."
Spotlessly clean. Easy parking. Quiet location. Good centre for the coast, Cockermouth and Carlisle. Best to approach the property by driving through the village so there is a shorter section of narrow road to navigate.

"A lovely holiday home which was a great base for our first holiday in The Lakes."
Two small suggestions 1) net curtains on the front facing windows would offer additional privacy. 2) WIFI coverage was reasonable but a little slow, possibly arrange for the holiday home to have its own WIFI supply?. But we'd definitely stay here again thanks

"Lovely cottage, settees are bit uncomfortable, there was no information for any of the appliances or for the recycling, only one black bin outside property provided."
There was also no contact information. Other than that a had a lovely few days away and would book again.

"Beautiful property and surroundings."
Everything was to our taste. The layout of the property would of been perfect if we had bought an older parent with us. Loved the nearby farm and listening to all of tge birds was just perfect. Thank you Michelle & Paul

"Lovely property."
Very well maintained, it looked very new, absolute nothing was worn or grubby. So impressed with all of the amenities. The bottle of wine and cake that were left for us were particularly appreciated. The thing that put this so high in my estimation was the the cleanliness and attention to detail. Whoever is in charge of housekeeping/cleaning are an absolute credit to themselves! Three bedrooms and three bathrooms made life so much easier than trying to share. One thing that might be a small problem to anyone with a large dog is that there isn’t a garden as such, there’s a small patio area at the front of the property. Our dog is very small so it was fine for us. There are lots of walks in the immediate vicinity though. The Stag Inn is a couple of miles away and serves very good food, we ate there every evening. Reasonably priced and a huge selection of gins and whiskeys. lovely staff. We didn’t find anywhere else close by that served food. There is a well stocked Co-op in Prospect but the nearest larger supermarket seemed to be Lidl in Wigton. The property is about 75 minutes north of Lake Windermere.It’s in a convenient place for Carlisle or areas further North. If I ever returned to this area I would definitely stay again.
Thanks for the great report there are supermarkets 4 miles away from the property in Maryport and there are bar meals available in Maryport Property Owner

Locals were very friendly. Cottage was immaculate and fitted to a high standard with all the appliances you could wish for. Very comfy, very good size, lots of room and all the pictures, ornaments etc. makes it feel very homely. Great heating throughout. Very good bathrooms and showers. We spent a very happy week there. Would be more than happy to return and would wholeheartedly recommend.

The popular seaside resort of Allonby sits along a five-mile crescent shaped bay on the Solway Firth, offering a clean shingle beach on high tide but miles of safe sand in an endless beach as the tide goes out. The flat terrain is ideal for walkers of all ages and for dogs, and is also popular with windsurfers and kite flyers, plus there are beautiful panoramic views across the bay towards Criffel and the Galloway Hills of Scotland. The village is set in a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and has kept much of its Georgian and Victorian charm, with cobbled lanes, curious corners to explore and several splendid buildings, one of which is The Baths, an imposing colonnaded building.The majestic Lake District Fells make a perfect backdrop to the village. The Cumbria Coastal Walk and Allerdale Ramble pass through the village. Links golf is available at Maryport Golf Course and the world renowned Silloth Golf course. A short trip will take you to the historic city of Carlisle, nip over the border to Gretna Green, experience the 2000-year legacy of Hadrian’s Wall or enjoy fun packed days out exploring the beautiful Western Lakes and fells where there is a wealth of things to see and do, including Hadrian's Cycleway where you can take in the stunning views on your journey. The stunning Whinlatter Forest Park, near Keswick is a haven for mountain bikers and walkers and the Go Ape high wire adventure course is ideal for the more adventurous.
