Clean and spacious, though the lounge can only sit 6 comfortably, the dining room is spacious enough for eating and games. Super location in a quiet part of Cumbria that is less touristy than the usual Windemere to Keswick areas. Lovely golf course at Maryport, great beach for dog walks, only 35 minutes to Keswick and easy access to many of the mouRead morentains and walking routes. Hide

Our only niggles were we had to wash a lot of things up before we could use them, the tea towels didnt smell great and the knives were very blunt, we didnt find a sharpener. But it was a beautiful, characterful house, we were very content there and the location next to the massive, beautiful beach was ideal for walking the dog. Not too far from theRead more lakes so it was a bonus to have sea, and lakes and mountains all accessible. Thank you for our lovely family holiday. Hide

There were 4 of us with 2 dogs and so plenty of space. Very, very comfortable in the house with easy parking in front. Two main bedrooms had great sea views. Ideal for beach access. House was perfectly presented so thank you.
