  • Characterful cottage that’s steeped in history and dates back to 1613
  • Located in a quiet village in the Solway Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty
  • Walks from the door perfect for those who wish to bring their dog
Property code: OC-SZ214

Feel like top dog when staying in this charming Cumbrian property, just moments from the coast and with the many dog-friendly offerings of the Lake District National Park close by. Put your best paw forward when exploring the fascinating dunes and dramatic seascapes along the Solway Coast, packing a tennis ball or two for games of fetch along the sand. The endless selection of walking routes close by will no doubt leave both man and dog in need of a well-deserved rest and this 17th-century cottage promises the perfect base for unwinding together. Sleeping four guests and one dog, the cosy cottage couldn’t be more perfect for packs of family or friends.

Boasting low ceilings and charming original features, you’ll truly feel as if you’re stepping back in time when embracing a stay here. After a long day out and about, we recommend stopping off at the outdoor tap to clean off sandy paws before stepping inside. Once inside the property, you’ll be free to delve into the pup-friendly welcome pack with treats for your well-behaved doggo. Throw a log or two on the wood burner and look forward to cosy nights spent indoors. With two sitting rooms and a kitchen, there’s plenty of space to let sleeping dogs lie as you venture up to bed. Completing the property is an enclosed garden with enough room for your pet to stretch their legs first thing in the morning and last at night.

Just 0.5 miles from the coastline with its sandy dunes and views across the Irish Sea, this holiday home is simply perfect for pets who adore the feel of sand beneath their paws and humans who enjoy a far-reaching coastal view. Follow the coastal path to neighbouring Maryport (7.5 miles) to truly soak up the nautical nature of this area.

The cottage was clean, warm, well equipped with everything you could possibly need for a holiday. The only downside was dogs are not allowed upstairs therefore I had to sleep on a sofa bed downstairs with him.

Perfect cottage for a quiet holiday. 5 minutes walk to the beach and wildlife in Mawbray Banks. Our dog loved the walks near by as well as a paddle in the sea. The pub over the road did good meals which was handy as there are no shops in the village. Owners are lovely. People very friendly. Loved every minute of our week

Excellent cottage, fully equipped and comfortable. Lovely garden that was completely enclosed so our little dog was able to roam around. Location was really good for visiting other areas, with a local beach 5 min walk down the road and a friendly pub with great food very nearby. We had a wonderful time.
