A short drive will take you over the border to Scotland, to the beautiful beaches of Dumfries and Galloway and the stunning Solway Coast. The beautiful border city of Carlisle is a short drive away or a scenic trip on the Settle to Carlisle railway line, where you can visit the castle or just take in some retail therapy at some of the high street shops.

Lovely homely cottage, very clean with everything you need for a break away from the hustle and bust

Lovely homely cottage, very clean with everything you need for a break away from the hustle and bustle of daily life it was a bonus to have the conservatory to relax in and watch the birds, cows and sheep. The dog enjoyed sitting and looking out too 😊 Very friendly hosts who gave us lots of information about the local area, and left a lovely welcome pack.Would definitely recommend and we will be back 🧑‍🤝‍🧑🐾
