This is a very well maintained and appointed holiday cottage. We have stayed in many over the years and few can compare overall. Hayton is a quite little village with very little going on, but a lovely retreat if you just want to get away from it all for a while. Allonby is an attractive little seaside town, which is walkable, whilst Maryport and SRead moreilloth, slightly further afield offer a little more amenity and both have fascinating, if quite different, seaside histories.

This is by far the best holiday home we have been in, and we have been in a few. The house was fabulous, wanting for nothing and very clean. In our party we had a family of five adults and our German shepherd dog. The garden was excellent for the dog and for games in the garden.
