We had a great week, the cottage is very quaint and we loved it and the garden.Great pub and shop a 5 min walk away.We had a great walk to the beach about 45 mins. Close to Whitehaven for a coastal walk, Eddendale for beautiful lake and mountains and Seascale beach.Would definitely recommend.

Had an excellent stay in the old forge. Lovely friendly welcome from the hosts. Nice friendly pub in the village. Not too far to the beach and other activities. Enclosed garden with stream running through it. Very relaxing stay. Will be going back!!
