A real home from home. Lorna is lovely was very welcoming and has thought of everything. Loved the hamper, fresh flowers and treats. Thank you for being a perfect host, we hope to return.

Solway coast only 15 minutes. Coop and Lidl in Wigton are nearest for provisions. Our host Lorna was super friendly and helpful and added lots of nice touches, amazing lemon drizzle cake, bread, milk, chocolates, and even treats for our dogs. Cottage has everything you need. Just be aware, there's no enclosed area with the cottage, so we couldn't just let our dogs out. But, we would recommend a stay at Piggery.

She was also generous with her time by showing the children her animals. I would definitely like to stay there again !
