Private parking for 2 cars. No smoking.. This delightful, detached, single-storey wooden chalet is quietly located behind the owners’ home and stands overlooking its own paddock with views to the fells. The property is situated between the Solway coast and the Northwest Lake district national, which makes it an ideal location, with easy access for exploring the Lakes. Cockermouth, Keswick and Carlisle are all approximately 25 minutes’ drive away. A little further is Hadrian’s Wall and the Scottish Border. Perfect for outdoor enthusiasts, tourers and those just looking for a relaxing holiday break.
You can easily visit the Southern areas of the Lake District, Windermere, the largest lake in the Lake District can be accessed by the M6, around an hour and a half drive for a beautiful boat ride across that Lake, and the steam train in Hasslethwait via the M6, or take the more scenic route along the coastal road.
Solway Coast is a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty that stretches north to Carlisle and south to Allonby Bay; perfect for cycling (Hadrian’s Cycleway, Maryport–Allonby route) and walking. Burness-on-Solway is worth a visit to see a stunning sunset, there are milefortlets and the Discovery Centre in Silloth to explore remnants of Hadrian’s Wall and Roman coastal defences. You could take a trip in the car to Gretna Green, Carlisle Castle, or Lowther Castle.
Around 3 miles away is Brayton, which has a Fishery and a Golf course. If you don’t have a car, there is a bus route opposite the property driveway.

Lovely lodge. Great location. Very clean. Staff were so accommodating. Lovely setting. Excellent value for money. If one thing without sounding critical. Just a nice comfy sofa would of been better than the conservatory type furniture. As hard toget comfy on. As no expense spared anhwh3wre else on the lodge. Beds were lovely and comfortable slept very well. X

Great place if you want to chill and relax.
Great place if you want to chill and relax. Bit too far from the Lakes in my opinion. However we had a great time. Just what the doctor ordered and the dogs loved the paddock and the beach at Allonby which was only a 15 minute drive away. Attention to detail from the owners was brilliant.

No pub/restaurants nearby and also no Wifi- we now live in an age where more & more people require it.

A great little cottage.
A great little cottage. Tucked away in a small village behind the owners house. There's a huge garden to enjoy with a seating area. The cottage itself is home from home. With everything you need. The owners left us bread milk tea bags ect as well as all the cleaning things you need on a day to day basis. The surrounding area is beautiful and only a few miles away are the lakes of the national park. The only downside was no Wi-Fi. I would recommend this cottage.
