Sally
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 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 had everything we needed and was very comfortable and cosy. We enjoyed the peace and quiet and loved the walks in between the rain showers. Thank you so much
