Shore Gate House

Offering spectacular sea views and tranquility; Shore Gate House dates back to 1684 and was originally a corn mill. 

A feast for the eyes awaits you; why not soak in the amazing views overlooking Scotland and the surprises the Solway has to offer. Watch the Haaf Netters, an old Viking tradition of fishing dating back over a thousand years. 

Look closely to spot families of Porpoises (smaller than its Dolphin relative) swim past your window! An array of birdlife can also be seen, oyster catchers, curlews and not forgetting the graceful swans.

All rooms are en-suite with free WIFI, long or short term enclosed parking. Lock up your bicycle or motorbike in our secure storage. 

Shore Gate House is located within an area of outstanding natural beauty with Campfield Marsh RSPB nature reserve close by. We are less than 20 minutes drive of the M6 Motorway and 30 minutes from the northern Lake District. 

The official start/end point of the Hadrian's Wall walk is less than 100 metres away.
