Beautifully presented, warm cozy dog friendly cottage. Excellent facilities throughout. Exceptionally clean and tidy. Large lounge upstairs with views over the sea towards Scotland. Large walk in shower. Towels and bed linen included. Will definitely go again. Superb hosts.

House was a little cool at times. Couldn't find a clothes airer for washing after using the washing machine. A shame that the local bus service was stopped this summer - nothing to do with Maggie!

Cottage was in centre of Allonby and close to the pubs and other amenities. Shower was good and kitchen had all we needed.

Bed was a little small.

Beautiful area , quiet and peaceful with lots of lovely walks - a car would be needed to explore more widely. The accommodation was centrally located and near the beach. It was very clean , had everything we needed, including a modern bathroom and great shower. We felt it provided good value for money.

No problems

Nice little cottage. Having sitting room upstairs meant you could enjoy the views and the sunset over the water.

Not applicable

Cosy and well placed for walks, the beach, shop and pubs. Arrangements to access the property were clear and good information provided such as how to contact the owner, facilities etc.

Though I rate the property highly the ONLY down side is the rear small, enclosed courtyard aspect. To be fair that's not what you look at and it does ensure a silent night's sleep. That tiny negative is totally outweighed by the positives and the calming atmosphere of the property.

Location perfect for stomping around the northern and western lakes and along the Solway coast. The property is at the opposite end of the village to the busy parking and tourist bustle so a good place to be if you want to take a walk up the coastal dunes or just "shoot the breeze" whilst sitting on the bench outside.... and when there is a breeze fresh air is compulsory!! Cozy retreat and lounge is so spacious you can enjoy an evening in with guests.

No complaints from us

Just a little slice of heaven. The cottage was so quaint and the wonderful views! Having the teashop opposite was such a bonus too

close to the beach

Absolutely nothing, except the weather could have been nicer to us, but it was December xmas time and we still loved it.

A home away from home. West View cottage didn't disappoint, we loved our stay here. Bed so comfortable, slept like babies. The kitchen had all that we needed. With an upstairs lounge the view during the summer across the bay must be amazing. We were there in December, so didn't always get a good view. Fantastic shower, bathroom hot water on demand. The beach is just amazing miles and miles of stoney/sandy walkable beach. We loved it for collecting such a lot of sea glass and sea pottery, couldn't get enough of it. Our cockapoo Maddie loved it meeting up with new doggy friends. If it had been warmer we would have spent longer on the beach.

I could of done with a sturdier pillow.

Just what we wanted, a comfortable cosy retreat, next to the beach. Tea room next door serves a great bacon baguette. Food from Surf bar was good and well priced. Friendly welcoming pub.

Everything was great with respect to the cottage but the fish and chip shop which was stated on the website as being nearby had been permanently closed a few weeks before our arrival. As the cottage was self-catering this made things a little trickier with respect to food as the local ice cream shop did not stock much by way of food.

The cottage was quiet and peaceful in a good location for walking my dog. It was ideal to come back to the cottage after a hard days work and relax. Parking was right outside the door and the cottage contained everything required for a comfortable stay. I would definitely return.

Nothing to dislike. The only downfall is, i wish I had found this place before as we have been visiting Allonby for years.

Great location, very clean and well maintained. I am sure I read there was no internet WiFi, but there is. Good location right in the centre of Allonby.

Local amenities closed

Location excellent just what we wanted right near beach

Having the bedroom and the bathroom on different floors with quite steep stairs between was a bit frustrating, but that is my fault for drinking green tea late at night. To be fair, the description does give full warning of this. Perhaps we are just getting old!

The location was wonderful, it was great to be so close to the sea and parking was really easy. The view from the living room was ever changing. The kitchen was well-equipped and the shower was marvellous. The chairs were joyous - such pretty colours - and very comfortable too.

There was nothing we didn't like. Couldn't fault cottage or location.

We enjoyed how homely the cottage was and the fantastic location. Very peaceful, perfect for a relaxing holiday. Great views especially the sunset.

It was a tad awkward having to take food back upstairs from kitchen to dining table but we understand why the layout is so, the lounge diner takes advantage of view.. Otherwise, nothing to dislike at at all.r

Good location near beach . The cottage was clean, had all we needed for a long weekend.

Bed too small so didn't sleep well.

Everything was lovely and accommodation had everything we could wish for. A beautiful little cottage

Stayed in June 2022

Unusual layout. Steep stairs. Poor quality pillows and quilt. A couple of pasta bowls would have been nice. Loose pan handle. Stair rail seemed to have loads of polish on, and you really need a good grip as the stairs are steep.

Clean and beautifully presented . Fantastic location. Lovely view from lounge upstairs. Lots of special touches . Bath towels, hand-wash , shampoo, facecloths, and shower gel provided. Kitchen towels , cleaning products, tea bags, coffee , and some condiments provided( much appreciated), Located near a bus stop and cafe and pub.
