About this property
Resting just spaces away from Allonby’s glorious shingle beach is this charming, terraced property, Sun House. This spacious accommodation is the perfect choice for groups of families and friends in pursuit of exploring this part of Cumbria’s coastline and to venture into the Lake District National Park for memorable days out. As you enter into the property, be charmed by the Victorian-style titles within the hallway, where you can kick off your sandy shoes before exploring the rest of the property. Head into the well-equipped kitchen, which contains an electric oven, induction hob, microwave and dishwasher, ensuring that you and your loved ones can cater delicious meals for the duration of your stay. Once breakfast, lunch or dinner is ready, gather everyone around the formal dining table, comfortably seating six people, a great spot for spending quality time together and planning the following day’s adventure. After an action-packed afternoon, look forward to unwinding within the sitting room with a characterful inglenook fireplace to admire as you tune into the TV. Younger guests can venture to the second-floor snug, home to a good selection of games, promising hours of entertainment before heading to bed. Concluding downstairs is the utility, boasting a washing machine and a tumble dryer, so you can easily wash and dry your clothes after your day at the beach. As the evening draws to a close, be spoilt for choice by the three bedrooms that await you, situated across the first and second floor, designed to offer a flexible sleeping arrangement for all party make-ups. Choose between the a king-size bedroom and en-suite, a double, a twin with zip/link features, or head to the second floor to find a twin bedroom, together sleeping up to six people and served a family bathroom with a shower over bath. Better acquaint yourself with your surroundings by taking a short stroll through the village, where you will find a pub, a quaint tearoom, a fish and chip shop and a shop for picking up the essentials, accompanied by a shingle beach, backed by sand dunes, promising a wonderful day out. If you are feeling active, choose to explore the Cumbria Coastal Walk which passes through the village, or how about a round of golf at one of the nearby courses? Venture to nearby Maryport, where you will find further attractions, including ward-winning coastal aquarium and maritime and Roman museums, or further afield is the bustling city of Carlisle. The Lake District National Park plays host to a plethora of hiking routes and Keswick is a scenic drive away, surrounded by mountains like Skiddaw and home to Castlerigg Stone Circle and Derwent Water with boat trips. Sun House is an outstanding property for a fun-filled holiday.

Lots of games, books, dvds to keep you entertained at night. The Ship Inn and Jacks Surf do lovely food and the beach is across the road. A nice relaxing week.

The lounge was very dark and gloomy with no views out of any windows just walls. The floor was filthy . There was no out door seating to sit out only a dirty small alleyway at back of house. Allonby is so beautiful but we couldn't see anything but walls from this property. The property had everything you would need for your stay. But for us it was too closed in to neighbours walls. I missed the views from any windows .
