Silloth, a popular tourist destination in West Cumbria, sits on the shores of the Solway Firth, north of the Lake District. In Scotland, the Southern Galloway hills and Skiddaw and the Northern Fells can be seen on the other side of the water. "Invigorating air, temperate climate, open streets, its promenade and beach" were some of Silloth's most lauded attributes. It's famous for its light and sunsets, as well as its stunning sea and mountain views. By 1856, a railway had arrived, and three years later the docks were open for business. In 1886, the Carr's Biscuit Factory Flour Mill was first opened for business in. For quite some time, Silloth was regarded as one of the country's most popular seaside resort destinations. The town was designed as a "health resort for the upper and middle classes" with a regular grid pattern. The rivers that flow into the Solway Firth are commemorated by the street names that branch off of wide, tree-lined Criffel Street. There are 34 acres of open grassland known as the 'Green', which is open to the public. Located in the town is the Silloth and Solway Golf Club which has been ranked No. 1 in both quality and value by the National Club Golfer Magazine 2016. There are wonderful hikes along the coast, particularly from Allonby in the west to Grune Point in the east, here there is always time for a little birdwatching. The Lake District and Birdoswald Fort, a National Historic Landmark on Hadrian's Wall, are both within a scenic drive.  This is a great location for cyclists and walkers, thanks to the quiet country roads and the Cumbria Coastal Path.

    We were using it as a base while moving into the area so not the average holiday! It was great to have somewhere comfortable to come back to, and I was very tempted to take the oh so comfortable recliners with us when we left! My only negative was that I found it a bit cold, it being November, but the lovely owner provided an auxiliary heater which was great, so only a small thing. We will definitely be giving the details to family and friends when they visit.

    We couldn’t have asked for more. Shoreside Cottage was so clean and comfortable and we slept better than we have in years. In fact we hope to buy a copycat mattress. The owner lived next door, was extremely helpful if we weren’t sure of anything and sorted it out immediately. We certainly hope to return - Lintie for the dog biscuits provided!!

    Difficult to find the bungalow from photo as no view of the house it is attached to. Walked up and down street before we found it. Yes we had sat nav. Key safe not working properly. Would have like garden to be secured so we could let dogs off lead. Snug: not clear that the 2nd mattress is a pull out on the floor. Cream carpets not dog friendly. But a lovely stay. Thank you.
