Lovely early January holiday in the cottage. There were 2 of us and a dog. The property was clean & tidy, well located with easy access to nearby Allonby & Solway coast. It was truly a dog's paradise with easy parking & walking along the coast, with plenty of places to grab a meal. We were surprised so much was open in January, with the added bonusRead more of being devoid of hoards of tourists. Thanks Brenda for being most welcoming & couldn't help enough. Will definitely consider returning some time. Hide
