Gorgeous seaside Cottage with Four Stories, Two bedrooms (One with En-suite/shower in the attic), Private Basement Kitchen, and Main Bathroom with shower. Welcome to our stunning seaside cottage, a true gem nestled along the picturesque Solway shoreline. This historical cottage spans four stories, offering an experience of coastal living. On the main level, is the front facing private living room. Bathed in natural light (stunning in the morning!), this inviting space offers the perfect setting to unwind. On the first floor up from the living room, you'll find the main double bedroom. Connected to it is the master bathroom. But the true masterpiece of this cottage awaits atop a set of paddle steep steps (WARNING - they are steep, so please consider mobility needs!!), leading you to the breath-taking attic bedroom with amazing Solway sea views. Adorned with comfortable furnishings with amazing views of the coast out of the Velux windows, this en-suite with shower bedroom is a sanctuary in the sky. **New for 2025** We have installed a Soft Drink Honesty Bar - Help yourself to some fruity drinks! Pets - We do allow well behaved dogs at our cottage (We even have a Dog Station with treats!). We respectfully ask that they don't use the soft furnishings (Couch and beds), plenty space for their own beds though!. Unfortunately we can only allow a maximum of two well behaved dogs. Please contact us if your needs differ and we will try to accommodate. Please do note that this cottage is on four floors, so there are a few steps up and down. Please consider your mobility needs.
We also live in the village, this was our first holiday home, we loved it so much - we bought another house to live here! We are always on hand to help with info or if you need anything.
