The garden is much much bigger than expected, the views are sensational. Ideally positioned for the sunrise. Photographers dream.The games room is brilliant but the views prevented me from winning table tennis!Inside the cottage the beds were so comfy great nights sleep. The power shower fabulous. The dining table has wonderful views of the beautiful beach and Solway firth.We loved the conservatory, ideal for sitting chatting or reading a book.The most wonderful aspect is our three dogs loved it as wee did. Hope to return soon. Thankyou so much, George, Bell and furbbies Jessi,Freddie, and Sheba x

The cottage had everything you needed and was very comfortable, location was great just 2 minutes and you were on the beach. Shop, pubs and chippy very handy. All in all we had a lovely relaxing week. Wouldnât hesitate to book for next year but prices have rocketed for the same week next year sadly.

The only thing i would recommend is power to the summer house and a light above the conservatory door would be advantageous as it's a dark corner & tricky to unlock the door after dark.... overall we thoughtly enjoyed our stay and hope to return. Wasn't a disappointment for us but could be for others that the listing stated there was a room with a hot tub, but there isn't one.
