Wonderful Coastal Getaway
excellent proximityeasy drivemany walkssuperb view
The location provides great access to Urr Water and the Solway Firth. I appreciated the many walks right from the doorstep. An easy drive allowed visits to many other attractions. The water view from my bedroom was superb.
The building shows some signs of age, a minor drawback.

The breakfast was good , with a choice of several options. I had fish and chips , and it came with a tasty fresh salad. The batter on the fish was crispy , and the fish itself was very fresh.

weak showeroutdated decor
The shower was awful, just a pathetic dribble (i've seen garden hoses with more oomph). i also noticed the decor reminded me of stepping back into the '80s. the parking was also a nightmare. I circled the area for ages before finding a spot blocks away. it was hardly the relaxing start i wanted.

The staff assisted with decorating a room for our birthday lunch. Everything was set up beautifully. The food was generous with portions (I liked the fish and chips).
The bedroom was quite small. The furniture and bathroom suite seemed old. Corridors leading to the bedrooms looked dismal and needed painting.
