The property takes its name from its prime location on Ritson Wharf and looks directly on to the harbour gates. When the tide is in, the busy harbour always has plenty of boats bobbing in the waves. Just across the road is the popular Wave Centre featuring climbing walls, gym and a caving experience for children. You are just a short stroll to your nearest pub and restaurant and only a 5-minute walk to the town centre of Maryport which is home to all the usual high street stores, a good selection of bars, restaurants, pubs serving local ales, independent coffee shops and cafés. Maryport also has a lovely beach to stroll along and soak up the fresh sea air.
Maryport is located on the north west Cumbrian coast and overlooking the Solway and the mountains of southern Scotland. Just a few miles to the north is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and a long stretch of sandy beaches. To the south there is the popular town of Whitehaven with its bustling harbour and town centre. If you enjoy culture and history, why not visit the Senhouse Roman Museum, ¾ mile away. If you like walking and cycling there are a number of cycle routes locally. Of course, if you want some more challenging climbs, you can easily access the Lake District National Park, you are equal distance to both Bassenthwaite where you’ll find The Lakes Distillery and The Lake District Wildlife Park, and Loweswater, home to the famous Kirkstile Inn where you can treat yourself to a pint of Loweswater Gold. Beach ¼ mile. Shop, pub and restaurant ¼ mile.

The apartment felt like home from home but with better views. There was nothing more we would ask for the hosts made us welcome even before arriving with sharing local info, which was gratefully appreciated

A lovely situated property overlooking the harbour where you can watch the ebb and flow of the tides and lovely sunsets.The property itself was very clean, well supplied and had all you needed for a stay here. Pleasingly decorated with tasteful furniture. The bed was very comfortable.We had a couple of meals in The Lifeboat Inn, gorgeous chips and visited a few other pubs. The Senhouse Roman museum is of interest. Walks around the harbours various piers are a must with views over to Scotland when conditions allow.Bowness on Solway, Whitehaven, Keswick worth visiting. Lovely drives through some of the lakes. Further away is Wastwater with views of Scadell pike and a lovely pub at Wasdale Head. Hardknott Roman Fort worth visiting for spectacular views (a drive up a 1:3 hill to a small parking place or can walk up from the bottom by the cattle grid)
