The property is appreciated for its beautiful surrounding area and the charm of the local village. Its rural coastal setting near Hadrian's Wall adds to its appeal.
The property is generally found to be very comfortable with good cooking facilities. However, there is a mention of an uncomfortable and noisy bed, which suggests room for improvement in this area.
Facilities like the on-site restaurant and bar are well-received, and the cooking amenities are good. However, a non-functional towel rack indicates some maintenance issues.

There are four studio apartments, sleeping up to two guests, perfect for a couple’s relaxing retreat in Hadrian’s Wall country.

From here you can explore southern Scotland, Gretna outlet village, historic Carlisle, as well as The Northern Lakes and Western Fells, all within half an hour’s drive. It’s a great base for keen walkers and people who like the outdoors. It’s on a major cycle way and popular with guests doing the coast-to-coast walk, either as a stopover or an interesting break to the journey.

Nearby is Hadrian’s Wall, which dates from the early second century AD.
Running through Bowness-on-Solway is cycle route 72, known as ‘Hadrian’s Cycleway’; if you love cycling, you’ll love this part of Cumbria. In Bowness-on-Solway there is a tearoom and a pub serving local ales and great food within walking distance. You have several cafés and restaurants in Silloth which is a nice drive along the coast, where you have arguably the best golf course in Cumbria. There are plenty of activities nearby, a public swimming pool, alpaca walks, climbing walls and plenty of culture to take in, including the Rum Story, go karting at Maryport and Carlisle Castle to name a few.

Rural coastal haven with the bonus of a great bistro & bar. Interesting eclectic guests at the start/end of Hadrians Wall adds to the friendly atmosphere. Great staff.

It was a replacement for another Cottage that became unavailable. I feel we gained by getting this apartment. It was in a great place, there is a restaurant and bar on site which meant we could get a meal when we arrived.Very comfortable with good cooking facilities. The surrounding area is beautiful and the village has lots of charm. Very chilled 3 day break and I would definitely book there again.
