Just metres from the breathtaking, rugged coastline of the Solway Coast, this lodge offers the perfect base for a walker’s retreat. While it’s ideally located for outdoor adventurers, it also serves as a romantic bolthole, perfect for two guests, with its wood-fired hot tub and cosy, studio-style layout. The property is one of five pet-friendly abodes on the site of a former rectory, designed with a large outdoor lawn space shared by all – ideal for holidaying with a larger group. The surrounding area offers endless outdoor appeal, with the beauty of the Cumbrian coastline’s AONB stretching out before you and the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Hadrian’s Wall starting right on your doorstep.

Filled with natural light, the wooden-panelled property is a joy to relax in, whether first thing in the morning or as the sun sets beside you. Everyday life can be enjoyed in the open-plan living space, which includes the kitchen, lounge, dining area, and double bedroom all in one. Turn on the Smart TV and snuggle up either on the sofa or in bed, reminiscing about the day or planning future adventures. A compact but fully functional shower room completes the interior. Outside, a bistro set and your private wood-fired hot tub offer space to unwind beneath the sunshine or stars. You also have access to a large, shared lawn and private parking spaces for each pod.

The Solway Coast National Landscape is one of Cumbria’s lesser-known beauty spots, and you can wander just 200 metres to the shoreline to begin your exploration. The area is excellent for birdwatching, with opportunities to hike along the coast and spot a variety of rare seabirds. A short 15.5-mile trip takes you to Silloth, a charming Victorian seaside resort with a picturesque promenade, plus plenty of shops and eateries.

The pod was immaculate on arrival and although late it was easy to access. Lovely location and very peaceful and the hot tub was easy to get going although give yourself plenty of time to heat it up. The break was exactly what we wanted in a beautiful spot. The landlady of the local pub was welcoming and the food was good. We really enjoyed our twoRead more nights and will definitely return.
