  • Refurbished contemporary apartment with lovely views over the harbour
  • In the coastal town of Maryport with local attractions on your doorstep
  • Perfect location for exploring the Solway Coast and just a short drive to the Lake District
Property code: OC-H29742

A beautifully presented, first-floor apartment in the centre of Maryport, with striking views across the Solway Firth towards the Scottish Borders. Perfect for active families who like the sound of being right by the coast and only 14 miles from the Lake District National Park, the apartment features a spacious lounge/diner and cosy bedrooms, and enjoys easy access to local attractions including the England Coastal Path and Maryport Golf Club.

The apartment''s interior is fresh and modern, with stylish, soft furnishings scattered about airy rooms with hard flooring. Entering the apartment via a staircase leading from a shared lobby, guests head along a hallway to arrive in the spacious lounge/diner, a comfortable area with seating and sea views through large windows. A practical kitchen sits next door, complete with everything passionate foodies need to create memorable meals, while back along the hallway guests will find two bedrooms - one twin and one double - both of which have been dressed in subtle tones and cosy soft furnishings. The well-appointed family bathroom is also nearby. While there is no outdoor space at the apartment, few would argue that its enviable location is an acceptable compromise. A private parking space is available for one car, while an additional, unallocated space is also available.

The apartment enjoys easy access to Maryport''s thriving town centre (500 metres) and family-friendly attractions as varied as the beach at one end and Senhouse Roman Museum (1 mile) on the other. The Allonby to Whitehaven section of the England Coastal Path lies within 1 mile of the apartment and there are numerous golf courses in the immediate area. An abundance of cultural, historical and natural attractions can be found within the Solway Coast and the Lake District National Park (within 14 miles), a day at either being worth the journey alone.

  • 2 bedrooms - 1 double, 1 twin
  • 1 bathroom with shower and WC
  • Electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge/freezer, dishwasher and air fryer
  • Travel cot and highchair
  • Smart TV in the lounge

A really lovely, spacious apartment with everything you need for a self catering holiday. Annette the owner was friendly and very helpful. We are a family of 4 (children aged 5 & 8) and there was ample room for all of us. We used the apartment as a base to explore the local area and the wider lake district with the fells being very accessiRead moreble if you don't mind a drive. Maryport is a bit of a hidden gem as far as we are concerned. The beach, albeit not entirely sandy, is really unique there are rock pools and red sand stone which the kids loved. On a clear day the views out to the Galloway hills in Scotland are stunning. We had a brilliant family holiday in Cumbria, and wouldn't hesitate to recommend this appartment. Hide

My car never had to move from our arrival to departure as there are walks both ways down the coast, we explored the industrial history around the docks and into town. Food and drinks are all within a short walking distance. Then retire to this nice roomy apartment which was in a quite area. All good.

A lovely, well positioned apartment just outside of the town centre of Maryport. Overlooking the harbour, full of fishing boats and, at low tide, wading birds. The apartment has everything you could possibly need for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. The welcome pack was well received and we made use of the two walk books provided. Being New YearRead more, most of the shops and takeaways locally were closed or had limited opening hours, but with Workington only 10 minutes drive away (with an M+S Foodhall), we ate well. It is a great place to base a holiday for trips up the coast or inland towards the Lake District. It was so quiet in the apartment, we slept well. We would definitely recommend this property to anyone wanting to visit Maryport or the West Lakes. Hide

One of the best apartments we have holidayed in, in terms of decoration, equipment, comfort and location. The views over the harbour are fantastic. The allocated parking space was big enough for our large car. The location is close to cafes and shops but also quiet at night. We enjoyed the various local walks along the promenade and the sea wall.
