Beautiful cottage - Solway Marsh View, a two night stay with three cadets and a GSD! Ample space for us all, bedrooms were comfortable, the cottage was warm and welcoming, the kitchen was well equipped and the lounge/dining area was spacious and comfortable.Lovely views from the cottage across the Marsh and so many different birds in the trees and visiting the garden.Our dog thoroughly enjoyed her time there as well! A nice sized well enclosed garden and lovely long walks straight from the door.The property owners were in the adjoining house, they were very accommodating and helpful, great communication throughout the booking and beyond. Thank you Penelope for a lovely relaxing weekend!We will be back some time soon :)
