West Croft is a lovely, spacious bungalow with amazing views of the Cumbrian fells. Set in the attractive coastal village of Mawbray which sits in the middle of the Solway Coast, a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, this is an excellent base for exploring this relatively undiscovered part of Cumbria with its fine coastline and spectacular sunsets. The kitchen is ideal for preparing tasty meals which can then be enjoyed in the dining area whilst you discuss what adventures are still to come on your holiday. Tinkle the ivories on the piano in the sitting room, or relax in front of the feature gas fire before heading to one of the three double bedrooms on offer, all of which offer comfortable accommodation ensuring a good night's sleep before your next fun-filled day. There are some intriguing Victorian seaside resorts to explore at Seascale, Silloth, St Bees and Allonby and the wonderful Cumbrian Coastal Way with stretches of cycle path, is just waiting to be discovered taking in estuaries, beaches, river and canals. The bungalow is also situated on national cycle route 72 or Hadrian's Cycleway which is great for cycling enthusiasts. The village of Allonby also offers a heated indoor swimming pool at the local leisure centre. Maryport was the site of a Roman port and many of the Roman remains are housed in the Senhouse Roman Museum. The Maritime Museum provides a fascinating insight into the town's history. Discover the Lake District Coast Aquarium in the heart of Maryport's refurbished harbour where you can see a fascinating underwater world. Cockermouth is within a short drive from West Croft and is the western gate to the National Park. A highly recommended and very scenic drive passes the lovely Loweswater, Crummock Water and Buttermere over Honister Pass and Borrowdale to Keswick. This is a lovely cottage, in a fascinating area, ideal for your well deserved break.
Facing the hills of Southern Galloway and backed by the Lake District Fells, the popular seaside resort of Silloth in Cumbria's Western Lakes and Coast sits on the shores of the Solway Firth. Well known for its mild but invigorating climate, its leisurely pace of life, tranquil atmosphere and glorious sunsets and sea views and sunsets, Silloth is a fine holiday destination. Originally built in the late 19th Century to accommodate a port, the creative development of the area is evident in its elegant tree lined streets, extensive sea front and impressive promenade which stretches towards Skinburness. There are 36 acres of open grassland known as "The Green" in the town centre, and a championship golf course overlooks the edge of the town. The scenic Cumbria Coastal Walk runs along the coastline, and there are also superb birdwatching opportunities here. Venture a little further afield for the breathtaking landscape and attractions of the Lake District.

West Croft This bungalow was booked for us as a gift for our anniversary. West Croft is a fantastic bungalow. It was very peaceful & private. Very clean, well equipped with everything we needed. We had a great time exploring the area. The locals very helpful & welcoming. Our two dogs loved the beach which is only a 5 minute walk away. We would definately book again. Maxine & Michael.

This is a lovely base in walking distance of the beach and within reach of some other hidden gems. There is everything you need here and the place was spotless when we arrived. The welcome pack of tea/coffee/milk and biscuits was also a lovely touch. Fluffy towels were provided, we always take our own as hubby has allergies to certain detergents, but its great that these were also good quality. We would definitely recommend staying here and would like to thank the owners for sharing it with us, a quiet break away from it all was exactly what we needed.
