The cottage is really quaint and was immaculately clean and very well equipped. Whilst within walking distance of the village and coast, please be aware that this is along a country road with no footpaths and poor visibility in parts. A great location to explore the Solway coast and surrounding area.

Lovely cottage attached to the farm house situated down a long private drive. Very quiet and reasonably private, with fencing securing an area for your dog. Twenty minute walk to the beach or can park after a short drive.
