Flag Cottage is fabulous with amazing views from the conservatory over the Solway Firth. It is in a very peaceful location with a lovely enclosed garden if you are a dog owner. The Steamboat Inn just a very short walk away do excellent food too.

We loved our stay at Flag Cottage.As other reviews have mentioned, the place is spotlessly clean. And the beds are super comfy.We loved waking up and enjoying our morning in the conservatory, looking out over the Solway Firth. Amazing views.We had our dog (although, you wouldn’t know it was dog friendly, as the place was so clean), who loved such easy access to the beach and local walks (as did I).Overall, we had a great holiday and would go back in a heartbeat.

Plenty to see and do in the area. The view from the cottage perfect. The Steamboat pub in walking distance was excellent for meals. We ate out most days but being lazy on holidays a small dishwasher would have been welcome.We would would recommend staying there.
