About this property

An idyllic seaside cottage right on the beach with stunning views. The most perfect position for a

In a unique and unrivalled position set right on a private beach overlooking the Solway Firth and the mountains of the Lake District. This really is a position that dreams are made of. No roads, no light pollution just stunning views and total peace and quiet. Shore Cottage is a charming beachfront holiday cottage with 3 bedrooms (one double, two twin) , a comfortable sitting room with a large sofa to sink into while enjoying the views from the panoramic window that looks out to sea, and two armchairs. There is a fully fitted kitchen with dishwasher, washing machine etc, a dinning room with seating for 8 and two bathrooms (one with a shower and one with a bath). A sunny enclosed garden (dog proof) perfect for enjoying a BBQ and long delicious glass of something! Great for birdwatching (between two major bird sanctuaries - Mersehead and Caerlaverock), close to two of the 7 Stanes mountain biking routes, a championship golf course a few miles away (Southerness) and fantastic countryside all around so very popular with artists and walkers. This is the perfect switch off place. Fantastic walks straight from the door and a great pub a 45 minute walk along the beach.
