Thank you Morag for such a lovely welcome and bringing me some coffee. I can’t praise this place enough. I felt so at home. The cottage was super clean and homely. Morag left us gorgeous cakes and all the villagers were so friendly. What a pretty and beautiful spot. I could of just stayed indefinitely !

Great place to stay at start or end of walking Hadrian's Wall path.. Sorry we didn't get more time to explorer locally as we were running/walking the path in 3 days (2 of us) and 1 day - my son Morgan who completed it in 16 hours 25 mins - world record! We would like to tell your local paper about this - what paper would that be?

Lovely cottage in a nice location, with plenty of walks locally.. Not too far to venture into the lake district or even southern Scotland. On arrival, we got a very warm welcome from the owners, with a personal message to us on a post card, telling us about the area. A great week away.

Fantastic location.. In five days we did the boarders to Melrose. All of western Lakeland and Keswick to Whitehaven. Brompton and beyond is wonderful. The roads around Bowness-on-Solway are great for dog walking and for cycling. The cottage is warm and comfortable and very well equipped.. The refurbished Co-op In Wigton is all that you will need..We came at the end of November so I would recommend this as a year round destination. A few yards from the cottage is the start of Hadrians Wall. The Solway coast at this point is both historic and at sunset, very atmospheric. Don’t forget your camara.

This is a lovely peaceful spot far enough from the Lakes to be ideal as a base.. There is also some amazing walking locally. The cottage is ideal and very comfortable, though it took my 6. 5 son some time to learn to duck. All part of the character. The pub was welcoming and the food was excellent. Would definitely stay again.

Spacious very clean accommodation.. Facilities very good had everything we needed with nice welcoming touches. Owners available and helpful if needed but not intrusive. Extra sofa in the lounge area would be appreciated to enable comfortable seating for 6. Only comment is that reception and WiFi limited which is not clear from the listing description.

Lovely cottage but had a damp smell as you first enter as washing machine must have leaked at one time.. Lots of room. Has everything you need if not more. Only met Steve who was very helpful. Not much parking space as we had two cars. Great pub across the road. Undergoing renovation but did not both us. Greeted warmingly very time we called on. We had a lovely week

If you want peace and quiet this is the location for you, very nicely kept cottage,with all that we needed for a weeks stay.. Hosts friendly and welcoming. The Kings Arms is just down the rd,and is also very welcoming,and does some great food as well. Bowness on Solway is a small rural village,emphasis on small,right on the Solway coast,therefore some points to note,( that in no way is a criticism or detracted from our stay) ...... Internet access is rural ....so if you’re used to high speed broadband you’ll be in for a shock ... Sat nav says nearest supermarket is 2 miles away....... well it is if you have a boat ! We went to Carlisle,a half hour drive away,so no biggie! Which is also a good place to visit anyway,so bonus ..... Cottage is a typical cottage from the 1700’s .... thick walls to keep weather out,low doorways to keep taller persons on their toes , ( or bent over whimpering cos they’ve cracked their head ....... again ........ i gave up counting after 3 collisions lol) and yes i would go again. Only a 40 minute drive to the Lakes, half hour or so to the west coastal areas so ideally situated without having to deal with the congestion the lakes suffer with nowadays. Very highly recommended.

I met up with three friends for a rail based holiday touring the routes emanating from Carlisle.. Having to drive the fifteen miles into the city each day was the only drawback in an otherwise terrific week spent at Pear Tree Farm Cottage in Bowness on Solway. The cottage was warm and comfortable with all the facilities one would expect. Our thanks to Morag and Steve for a very happy stay there. Fifty yards down the road was the Kings Arms pub, under extensive renovation at the time. We had been warned of the work in progress and if there had been another pub in the village, we probably would not have gone there, but thank goodness we did! Every single one of the staff was so welcoming, friendly and helpful, and the locals were great. Going there as often as we did, it was a completely mad, surreal experience, and I mean that in the nicest possible way. Top class food and fun in a bombsite, fantastic! Bowness is a lovely village in a quiet, remote corner of the country, I can't wait to go back. Thank you to Morag and Steve, everyone at the Kings Arms, and to Sykes for a memorable week.

Amazingly spacious house. Children loved having a double bed each. Peaceful and cosy. Morag and Steve were very obliging. Thanks for going to such lengths to sort the WiFi - makes for quieter children! Beautiful area. Fabulous walks. Our collie didn’t want to go home and neither did we. Feeling rested and relaxed. Thank you

Both Steve & Morag were extremely friendly and welcoming. The cottage is beautifully decorated and we enjoyed the spacious rooms. The cottage was lovely and warm (after having the log burner on and turning the heating up). We took 4 bikes with us and the owners very generously offed space in their garage to safely store them. The cycling is very flat (compared to the rest of Cumbria), so is Ideal for family’s with low traffic roads and near route 72 of the National Cycling Network. A must is a sunset walk (or bounce) over the salt marshes to the west of the village. One of the highlights of the stay.

Arrived 31 Dec for 2 night stay over New Year. When we arrived Steve ans Morag had left a complimentry bottle of fizz and home made cake which was a lovely surprise. The cottage was very spacious for 6 adults and 2 dogs and was spotlessly clean. The kitchen was very well equiped with plenty of crockery and cutlery and anything else you needed. The woodburner was excellent and kept us cozy over a couple of cold nights. Beautifully decorated throughout, would visit again to explore the area in the summer.
