Woodbine Cottage is a lovely beachfront cottage over 200-years-old, lying in the quaint historic fishing village of Allonby, Cumbria, and situated between the coastal towns of Maryport and Silloth-on-Solway. This end-of-terrace property stands next to the old Quaker Reading House, now a private home, and opposite the Village Hall, which hosts many activities throughout the year. To its rear lies nothing but the beautiful Solway Firth in all its glory to enjoy! The cottage has three floors and has been sensitively renovated throughout with all necessary modern conveniences including free WIFI, outdoor aerial for regular TV channels, flat screen TV, washing machine, and bathroom with a combined bath and shower. The attic space can be used for clothes drying and airing whilst admiring the panoramic view of the Solway and Criffel from the attic window. The pièce de résistance is, when you step out of the back door, you have direct access to the beautiful Solway beach, an Area of Outstanding National Beauty, where you can spend the day beachcombing, birdwatching, or simply relaxing and taking in the beauty of the Solway Firth and the Scottish hills beyond. Running alongside the coast is the King Charles III England Coast Path. There you can take a walk or cycle whilst enjoying the magnificent views. This coast is famous for its spectacular sunsets, which must be seen to be believed! These can also be viewed from your windows whilst relaxing inside the charming cottage. Allonby is a designated AONB and the regional office in Silloth, named Solway Coast National Landscape can give information on the many walks and things to see in the area. info@solwaycoastaonb.org.uk. There is a village shop which is particularly famous for its delicious homemade ice-cream. Local eateries include The Ship Hotel (a late 18th-century building which once hosted Charles Dickens and Wilkie Collins,) The Baywatch Hotel, and Wishers.

Situated conveniently for day trips to the beautiful Lake District or the historic city of Carlisle, and, not to forget, the famous Hadrian’s Wall, begun in AD 122. The Georgian town of Silloth has a links golf course (listed in the top 100 in the country) and other facilities. Silloth Green and Sea Wall are there to be admired and enjoyed by visitors of all ages.
