Lovely clean well equipped apartment. Very comfortable & modern. Location was excellent. We do walking /fell running & cycling & found it a perfect location. Excellent location if you have young children with enclosed garden & lots of cycling/walk paths on the doorstep & the coast paths. Would highly recommend RitsonWharf

The apartment was very clean and comfortable for two of us with a good view of the harbour. Well equipped and the reserved parking space right outside is a benefit. It is a short walk to the main shoping street, supermarket, train station and Roman Museum. Maryport is a low key resort which has its own appeal but a limited choice of restaurants. We walked most days sometimes locally and used the trains and buses to go further afield e.g. return train from Maryport to Settle via Carlisle We also drove to Cockermouth, Buttermere and Derwent Water for walks, all less than an hours drive away.
