Perched across from Beckfoot Beach on the Solway Coast, this charming holiday home sleeps eight guests in four well-appointed bedrooms. Relax in the enclosed garden and admire views of the Lake District fells of Skiddaw and Blencathra, or spend idyllic evenings curled up in front of the wood burner.

Step inside this pretty, semi-detached cottage to be welcomed by homely, rustic decor and characterful features like exposed wooden beams and a stone-built fireplace. The kitchen is cosy and contains everything you could possibly need to whip up your signature dish, while the utility has plenty of space to store ingredients or, perhaps, your walking gear. Enjoy mealtimes around the formal table in the lounge before cracking open the board games. Should you fancy some quiet time, escape to the sunroom where you can lose yourself in a bestselling book with a cup of tea and a slab of Grasmere gingerbread. Pick from four delightfully decorated bedrooms that include a master super-king and a king-size with an en-suite shower room, both of which can be converted to twins on request, a welcoming double and a bunk room. A well-appointed family bathroom completes the interior. Spend sunny days out in the enclosed front garden, where, on clear days, you can admire the stunning views of Scotland and the landscapes of the Lake District. There are two private parking spaces.

A stay at this property would only be complete after popping across the road to the sandy shores of Beckfoot Beach. Perfect for a bracing coastal walk, this coastline has no fancy amenities, but it more than makes up for it with natural splendour. Silloth and Allonby beaches are also within 5 miles. Avid walkers will be keen to join the Cumbria Coastal Way, while golfers will love trying the greens at Solway Golf Club (3.5 miles).

  • 4 bedrooms – 1 super-king zip- and-link (can be made up as a twin on request), 1 king zip and link (can be made up as a twin on request), 1 double and 1 bunk room

A very comfortable cosy home that has been decorated tastefully. All the necessary amenities. The beach is just lovely and sunsets out of this world. I would highly recommend this beautiful home.
