We enjoyed our stay at Dunlin Haven. The apartment is very comfortable and the sunsets over the Cumbrian hills are spectacular. We were fortunate to have sunshine everyday and made full use of the patio area at the back which provide welcome shade in the evening. I have only given 4 stars for the comfort and equipment purely because we found the oven difficult to regulate as the numbers have faded on the control dial. We enjoyed a number of walks along the beach and in the woods at the back of the property.

Really enjoyed our stay at Dunlin Haven, it was very spacious and clean and well equipped. The views from each window are stunning. Great balcony for alfresco dining and chilling. Doorstep walks and a short drive into either Milnthorpe or Arnside for shops. The deer park in Milnthorpe was also great and we saw lots of deer.

Great location with private parking next to the building.All images are accurate and the condition of the property is identical to how it is described - very clean and tidyLovely views from each room, plenty of kitchen accessories and crockery Quiet area, although I imagine the main road outside would be busy in peak time but doesn't spoil the views. Ideally need transport to go anywhere for shopping or eating out - but that is the down side from being quiet and tucked out of the way of shops etc. Had an issue with unable to open windows die to missing keys , and the temperature out side was 30 degree with sun beaming onto big windows making it very hot - was able to contact support online via cottages app/website fairly easy and managed to resolve the issue, they were very helpful and understanding - so a big tick for customer support. Enjoyed our stay and would bother return and recommend it and was good value for the money.Thanks all
