An original 18th-century fisherman’s cottage with magnificent views over the Solway Estuary with woo

This was our second holiday at Martha's Shore Cottage.
This was our second holiday at Martha's Shore Cottage. We chose it partly because we knew that it was entirely suitable for my wife, who is a wheelchair user, and our dog, who we could let wander around the garden without worrying that she would get through the fence, and partly because of the wonderful views from the cottage.
