Fantastic location

Secluded location at end of private track surrounded by wildlife with a private beach at the bottom of the garden. Spent evenings watching the sunset across the Solway Firth. Very relaxing and so peaceful. Comfortable well-equipped cottage. Would love to come back next year.

Great stay

A wonderful location right on the beach. We saw deer and rabbits within a few metres of the cottage. A great holiday! Directions could have better. Postcode took us to other side of road but luckily bumped into the owner.
