A calm village cottage, across the road from the beach

Hosted by Chad & Family · Whole cottage · Sleeps 8 · Pet friendly

Built in 1880, the Old Post Office is one of Allonby's most distinctive properties, carefully restored to retain its character while offering a spacious and comfortable stay. Once the village post office and grocer, it now provides a unique setting just moments from the Solway Coast.

With generous living space and room for larger groups, it is well suited to family gatherings and shared stays. The beach, play park and village amenities are all within easy reach, while days out can include everything from coastal walks to golf, aquariums and Lake District trails. The Old Post Office offers a stay that feels both rooted in the village's history and designed for making new memories.

Absolutely beautiful accommodation. Characterful, well equipped, so spacious and lovely to be in. Right on a beach where you can watch the sun set and the moon come up at the same time. Could not recommend more highly. As our youngest said "can I have this house to go?" We wish we lived there!

Decor was beautiful and homely as well as practical. Very comfortable, a proper home from home but with luxury. Beds were amazing, everything superb and super clean.
