Porpoises are sometimes spotted not far from the promenade which stretches out towards Skinburness. In winter a wide variety of migrant birds visit the nearby saltmarshes and the nearby RSPB Solway Wetlands Centre is ideal for bird lovers.
There are fine views across the Solway Firth towards the hills of Southern Scotland and you can enjoy many other attractions and places to visit in the area including the harbour towns of Maryport and Whitehaven all within easy driving distance including Carlisle, Cockermouth, Keswick and Northern Lakes, Hadrian’s Wall and even Southern Scotland.

Good size building, having the 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms where a god send Also having a large table in the dining room was great to have family time. A few minutes walk and your at high street with a promanade to walk along.
The home was spotless everything you needed for a perfect stay was there and moreHad to contact the host once but was just me not looking properly for something Sarah answered straight away and was so helpful and understanding The shops are just round the corner from the home and butchers is just a few doors away with the Fairy Dust tea room just across the road Everyone we met was so friendly we had a fantastic time and can’t wait to return soon

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Old Courthouse in lovely Silloth.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Old Courthouse in lovely Silloth. The furnishings are luxurious and is extremely well equipped for a very comfortable stay. The owners have thought of everything you might need and more! Very easy to walk to all attractions and amenities, there’s lots of cafes and a super bakery within a two minute walk. Stunning views from the prom over to Scotland and is very easy walking, lots of benches to sit and enjoy the sea air too. We will return for sure !
