Set midway between the Lake District National Park and the Solway Coast National Landscape, this luxurious home is an ideal choice for families and groups of friends planning Cumbrian adventures together. The host market town of Wigton (2 miles) offers a generous choice of local shops, cafes and traditional pubs and restaurants.

Just outside of town, Watchtree Nature Reserve (6.5 miles) is a haven for bird spotters and keen walkers, as are the South Solway Mosses Reserve and Cumberland Bird of Prey Centre (both within 8.5 miles). Keen historians will find plenty of local heritage to uncover at Carlisle Castle (10 miles), while days on the beach are made easy thanks to nearby seaside destinations including Silloth, Beckfoot, Mawbray, and Skinburness (all within 14.5 miles).

For days of outdoor adventure, the Lake District begins just 6.5 miles away with its endless walking trails, water sports opportunities and charming towns. Before stepping into this welcoming home, take a moment to appreciate its surrounding scenery of peaceful Cumberland countryside.

Kick off muddy walking boots in the entrance porch, then walk through to the open-plan living space which combines a spacious kitchen with a dining area and L-shaped lounge. Head straight to the kitchen to cook up a storm using your new local flavours; find everything needed in this country-style space for a self-catered stay, then enjoy the chef’s work over at the long dining table.

After memorable mealtimes, unwind in the lounge where a roaring wood burner and Smart TV set the scene for cosy movie nights together. Completing the ground floor is a handy utility room plus a separate shower room.

More relaxation awaits upstairs, where a cosy snug boasts exposed stone walls, comfy furnishings, a sofa bed, a Smart TV and games console – ideal for younger guests. At the end of each busy day away, retire to a choice of three restful bedrooms, all with chic touches and Smart TVs for lazy mornings in bed.
