Good location, but the apartment is tired, and could do with a deep clean. Comfort wise is average, and has most essentials, but a little money could go a long way, e.g. good to have a washing machine, but nowhere to dry the washing, and the airer provided was inadequate.

We were very impressed on entering the property, clean, tidy, on the flat and really good views. The bath/shower room and kitchen looks like they have been recently renovated to a high standard including new carpets other rooms.We use Maryport to visit family and friends in the area and this flat is ideal. Indeed we are booked again for November. The town amenities are within a short walk and the the Lifeboat Inn provides great food and resonably priced. You don't need to get to the top of the hill!2 suggestions which will improve our next visit will be a grab handle in the shower for H&S, we're not brilliant on our feet. Also the freesat tuned to get all the available channels.
