This countryside cottage sleeps six and offers the perfect base for a peaceful escape in one of Cumbria’s hidden gems – the Solway Coast, a designated National Landscape that curious canines will love to explore. Just a few miles from the end of Hadrian’s Wall, this inviting property is bursting with rustic character and comes complete with a shared garden for your four-legged friend to investigate.
Inside, the cottage exudes charm, with original beams and vintage details throughout. A traditional latch door opens into the kitchen/diner with a delightful table and plenty of space to gather. French doors from both the kitchen and the bright, cosy lounge lead out to the garden patio so Rover can come and go. The lounge features comfortable seating and a wood burner electric-effect fire set in a period fireplace. A spacious ground-floor bathroom adds extra convenience. Upstairs, you’ll find traditional low ceilings and beams – please mind your head. Here, you'll find a shower room and three inviting bedrooms: a king-size and two doubles, one with a lovely Victorian-style bedstead. All are thoughtfully finished and have calming views stretching over the Solway Firth towards the Scottish hills. Outside, you’ll find the patio area for dining. The garden, shared with the friendly cottage owners, includes a BBQ and a lawn with plenty of space for a game of fetch. Private, off-road parking for two cars is provided.
Surrounded by vast stretches of unspoiled sandy beaches, salt marshes, and intertidal mudflats, the area is rich with wildlife and beauty. Discover nearby nature reserves, quiet country lanes, or many RSPB sites along the coast. For history hounds, the city of Carlisle (6.5 miles) boasts a 900-year-old castle, an ancient cathedral and a bustling food and shopping scene. Take a tail-wagging day trip to the Lake District's Pooley Bridge and Keswick for waterside walkies and aquatic adventures.
