We would like to wish you a warm welcome to The Retreat which has been run as a successful hotel and restaurant by Alison and Rudi Geissler for the last 25 years. We now offer bed and breakfast only, in our spacious, comfortable, en suite bedrooms, with ample private parking in the grounds to the front of the house.

This corner of Cumbria is steeped in history from Roman times to the heyday of the 19th century when Maryports' maritime connections were famed the world over. The Solway Coast, rich in wild flowers and butterflies is a popular haunt for bird watchers and those preferring flat walks. For golf lovers, the Maryport golf course is nearby and the championship course at Silloth is only twenty minutes drive. The Retreat is convenient for visiting the Lake District being only seven miles from Cockermouth, and twenty miles from Keswick. To the north, the historical city of Carlisle, on the borders of Scotland and Northumbria is only thirty minutes drive away.
