    Lovely location as long as you want peace and tranquility as it was a bit of a drive to get anywhere. We loved it, it was very clean - amazing stocked bookshelf bought back some wonderful childhood memories and great local area information. Comfy...

    A very clean cottage with all facilities you could want, in a super location with ever-changing views of the Solway fifth. Very helpful and friendly hosts too. The Kings Arms in the village was most welcome for an easy meal and drinks.

    The cottage was beautiful with fantastic views, everything we wanted for a short stay with the added bonus of a pub only 2 mins away.

Neighbourhood information

With a charter granted in 1262, the traditional Cumbrian market town of Wigton still holds a market each Tuesday in the covered market hall. This lovely town is a popular centre for shopping, pubs and restaurants, as well as for other activities such as theatre, bowls, swimming, tennis and other sports. The Lord Melvyn Bragg novel, 'A Time to Dance', featured the town of Thurston, which was based on Wigton and the local area. A lovely base for a holiday exploring Cumbria and the Scottish Borders.
