About this property
West Croft is a lovely, spacious bungalow with amazing views of the Cumbrian fells. Set in the attractive coastal village of Mawbray which sits in the middle of the Solway Coast, a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, this is an excellent base for exploring this relatively undiscovered part of Cumbria with its fine coastline and spectacular sunsets. The kitchen is ideal for preparing tasty meals which can then be enjoyed in the dining area whilst you discuss what adventures are still to come on your holiday. Tinkle the ivories on the piano in the sitting room, or relax in front of the feature gas fire before heading to one of the three double bedrooms on offer, all of which offer comfortable accommodation ensuring a good night's sleep before your next fun-filled day. There are some intriguing Victorian seaside resorts to explore at Seascale, Silloth, St Bees and Allonby and the wonderful Cumbrian Coastal Way with stretches of cycle path, is just waiting to be discovered taking in estuaries, beaches, river and canals. The bungalow is also situated on national cycle route 72 or Hadrian's Cycleway which is great for cycling enthusiasts. The village of Allonby also offers a heated indoor swimming pool at the local leisure centre. Maryport was the site of a Roman port and many of the Roman remains are housed in the Senhouse Roman Museum. The Maritime Museum provides a fascinating insight into the town's history. Discover the Lake District Coast Aquarium in the heart of Maryport's refurbished harbour where you can see a fascinating underwater world. Cockermouth is within a short drive from West Croft and is the western gate to the National Park. A highly recommended and very scenic drive passes the lovely Loweswater, Crummock Water and Buttermere over Honister Pass and Borrowdale to Keswick. This is a lovely cottage, in a fascinating area, ideal for your well deserved break.
Facing the hills of Southern Galloway and backed by the Lake District Fells, the popular seaside resort of Silloth in Cumbria's Western Lakes and Coast sits on the shores of the Solway Firth. Well known for its mild but invigorating climate, its leisurely pace of life, tranquil atmosphere and glorious sunsets and sea views and sunsets, Silloth is a fine holiday destination. Originally built in the late 19th Century to accommodate a port, the creative development of the area is evident in its elegant tree lined streets, extensive sea front and impressive promenade which stretches towards Skinburness. There are 36 acres of open grassland known as "The Green" in the town centre, and a championship golf course overlooks the edge of the town. The scenic Cumbria Coastal Walk runs along the coastline, and there are also superb birdwatching opportunities here. Venture a little further afield for the breathtaking landscape and attractions of the Lake District.

There are extensive views of the Lake District Fells from the lounge and kitchen windows, and the outdoor seating area and lovely front garden. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay there.

West Croft sits in a quiet and peacefully private setting. The bungalow itself has everything you need to enjoy a self catering holiday. It has comfortable beds and sofas. The kitchen is well equipped with all the equipment you need. Plenty of seats for more than six people to eat in, although there were only two of us. It was spotlessly clean. There are beautiful views from the front windows towards the Lakeland fells. It was great to watch the weather rolling in. The beach is not too far away, and Mawbray Banks are very interesting to walk along. With lots to discover if you are interested in wildlife. We spotted lots of different things. The local gastro pub is only a short stroll away, with a nice childrenâs play area opposite. Very tasty food and well worth a visit. There was a welcome pack waiting for us on arrival, including tea, coffee, milk and biscuits. Plus there were dish washer tablets, soap, and other cleaning products. We contacted the owner a couple of times while staying. She was so kind, friendly, and patient with us. We would love a return visit. Five stars from us!!

We found the directions to the bungalow, when we reached the village, a bit confusing, not knowing which patch of grass was the âvillage greenâ. Perhaps somewhere in the information, it could be stated that the freezer is in the garage.
