A traditional Cumbrian market town with a charter granted in 1262, which still holds a market each Friday in the covered market hall, along with an open air car boot sale which is held at Silloth. Wigton is a popular centre for shopping, pubs and restaurants, and also boasts a theatre, bowls, swimming, tennis and other sports. Lord Melvyn Bragg was a native of Wigton, and used the town (called Thurston in some of his writings) and the surrounding area as the setting for his novels including ‘A Time to Dance’. Located 18 miles from Penrith it is a good base for the attractions of the North Lakes, the cathedral city of Carlisle, 12 miles away, Keswick, just north of Derwentwater and close to Lake Bassenthwaite, and the natural beauty of the West Cumbrian Coast. Hadrian’s Wall is within 25 miles, while the Scottish Borders, and Gretna Green, are within easy reach.

The property was beautifully appointed and had so many great dog friendly facilities. As owners of a large dog, we were delighted that the garden was properly secure (high fences) and spacious. There were also a selection of dog bowls, a hamper of dog towels and a hamper of dog blankets for the furniture, if you have a sofa dwelling dog. The kitchen was very well equipped, with excellent quality kitchen ware. A great bonus is the upstairs entertainment room, with a massive TV, XBox, DVDs,CDs, books and a computer desk with monitors. The beds were comfortable, the showers were large with good water pressure, the towels were soft and there were even slippers and robes. Having stayed out of season, we were glad it was nice and warm in the house. I can imagine, it would be lovely to sit out in the garden in the summer. It is also in a great location; Wigton, nearby has good facilities, Carlisle is only 20 minutes or so up the road, or head south for the Lakes, north for Hadrianâs Wall, or west for the coast.

Beautifully appointed, it has everything you could possibly need. The games room is amazing. Itâs billed a dog friendly and they have gone the extra mile thinking of absolutely everything for our fur babies. Itâs the first time weâve felt so relaxed away from home with our dogs. Beautiful welcome tray - so thoughtful.
