If you are looking for a quiet location to travel out from this is perfect, as unfortunately Maryport is now a ghost of its former self.

It is located in an excellent position with views over the harbour and across the Solway. It meets our needs admirably and we will undoubtedly return.

Mismatched furniture that had seen better days. In general badly in need of some investment.
