    "First class cottage, homely and comfortable."

    Exellent for local walks. An ideal base for exploring the lake district and Hadrians wall area. The Solway firth and Carisle castle are only a short distance away. Burgh- on Sands itself is a beautiful village with a village pub.

    It's perfect for 2, lots of space, well laid out but is still cosy and welcoming. Well equipped kitchen (even has a pizza cutter!), welcoming pack of butter, milk and homemade scones. Location is excellent for exploring this beautiful mostly undiscovered part of Cumbria.

    Thankyou Gill for your kind words Property Owner

    "We were very impressed with The Flat."

    It was comfortable and tastefully furnished. In fact it is one of the nicest we have stayed in. There was milk and butter in the fridge and homemade scones on the side, which was a lovely touch. There was even freshly cut flowers on the table. Communication with Marion was very good. The Flat was an ideal base to explore either the Lakes, Hadrians Wall or Dumfrieshire, which is what we did. There is a good pub in the Village and another near by. Both serve delicious food, especially The Drovers Rest. We had a lovely time and would book The Flat again if we wanted to further explore the area.

    "Lovely property - ideal for 2."

    Very spacious, lovely soft furnishings and finishing touches - a real home from home. Well equipped. The hosts were very welcoming - amazing scones awaiting us on arrival - and on hand if there were any issues. The arrival information available in the property was very helpful with the hosts adding their own comments and recommendations - Cranston's was a great recommendation for breakfast and sells the best pork pie! The Flat is an ideal base for exploring the top of Cumbria which is a beautiful area - we will be back.

    Thankyou! We renovated this property earlier in the year with what we would want in a holiday cottage in mind. Comfort, homeliness, cleanliness but stylish too. We think we’ve ticked all these boxes! Property Owner

    "Spent an enjoyable week despite the terrible weather."

    The utility room made this possible for drying off wet jackets and dog coats. Decor is excellent. Local pub is very welcoming and provides good beer and food.

    Glad you enjoyed your stay, we think a nice cosy warm environment is important especially at this time of year. Our biomass boiler enables us to provide that with ease. Property Owner

    Totally perfect for me as a single guy working in the area. The kitchen had all the crockery, utensils and utilities you`d need to cook for yourself. Nice bathroom with sundries in the shower for your use. Nice quality towels. Private parking at the door. Comfy bed and smart TV. Wifi was great. Communication with Marion the owner was excellent. Will certainly stay again if am in the area. Highly recommended.

    The cottage is well appointed and well maintained. Everything was super clean. It is situated in a quiet village with a pub. We ate at the pub and the food was good, honest pub grub. They also do a popular Sunday roast. We had our dog with us and there were some good walks around the village.
