The property takes its name from its prime location on Ritson Wharf and looks directly on to the harbour gates. When the tide is in, the busy harbour always has plenty of boats bobbing in the waves. Just across the road is the popular Wave Centre featuring climbing walls, gym and a caving experience for children. You are just a short stroll to your nearest pub and restaurant and only a 5-minute walk to the town centre of Maryport which is home to all the usual high street stores, a good selection of bars, restaurants, pubs serving local ales, independent coffee shops and cafés. Maryport also has a lovely beach to stroll along and soak up the fresh sea air.
Maryport is located on the north west Cumbrian coast and overlooking the Solway and the mountains of southern Scotland. Just a few miles to the north is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and a long stretch of sandy beaches. To the south there is the popular town of Whitehaven with its bustling harbour and town centre. If you enjoy culture and history, why not visit the Senhouse Roman Museum, ¾ mile away. If you like walking and cycling there are a number of cycle routes locally. Of course, if you want some more challenging climbs, you can easily access the Lake District National Park, you are equal distance to both Bassenthwaite where you’ll find The Lakes Distillery and The Lake District Wildlife Park, and Loweswater, home to the famous Kirkstile Inn where you can treat yourself to a pint of Loweswater Gold. Beach ¼ mile. Shop, pub and restaurant ¼ mile.

What a lovely little place! Absolutely perfect flat overlooking the harbour, everything you could possibly need to feel well at home! Plenty to do and see right on your doorstep too! We stayed for 2 nights and had a fantastic time! The owners are so informative and helpful too! Couldn't have asked for more.
Property just as described. Slight problem on Christmas Day, but this was responded to immediately. It needed to reset the fire alarm but was resolved quickly. However, there was a "bleep" sound from the control box in the hall after this, which was very close to the pillow of the lower bunk where our son slept. His sleep was interrupted, but otherwise all went as planned.
Many thanks
