Newly refurbished throughout, this late 19th-century detached cottage is two miles north of Aspatria and three and a half miles from the Solway coast at Allonby in the northwest of the Lake District.

The holiday cottage offers quirky but homely charm with its cottage styling and character features of a log burner, wood beams and the random low ceiling upstairs - look out for the 'duck' signs!
