We packed a bag of things we might need for the Christmas dinner but didnât need to bring a thing! The owners have thought of everything. The cottage was beautiful, clean and the owners had even decorated it for Christmas which was lovely. The hot tub was probably the best we have ever used, with great jets and perfect for relaxing after a day walking and exploring. Parking is great, large area off road to the side of property and secure. The garden was secure for the dog and we found a lovely walk from the cottage to the beachfront. I would say the location is perfect for quiet relaxing time away, Ulverston and the lakes are within reach by car however there is limited things to do in walking distance due to there being no pavements. This didnât affect us as we just hopped in the car to places but if you prefer to walk to places I wouldnât say this is the place for you. The owners had wonderful communication texting us before our arrival and during our arrival to make sure we was comfortable or if there was anything we needed. They left a lovely welcome hamper and some balls and blankets for the dog which was so kind. This is truly a wonderful cottage and place to stay. We will definitely be returning. Thanks so much x

It has everything and more you would need for a comfortable stay. The garden is safe and secure . Our little dog enjoyed exploring it. The all singing and dancing hot tub is fabulous. We loved our early morning walk on the beach. It was a wonderful way to start the day. The welcome pack was very thoughtful and was throughly enjoyed. Helen is very attentive and gives all the information and more needed for a fantastic stay. We would highly recommend this beautiful cottage.

My partner and I stayed here with our dog for the week. It was very well stocked with whatever we could need and the owners were incredibly helpful and very friendly. The little thoughtful touches made this stay one of our favourites, so many lovely ways to make sure we were comfortable. The views are quite spectacular over a field of sheep and a fairly close sea, and the garden was great fun with our puppy who was able to run freely! My only note for other guests would be that the beds are quite soft (my preference is for medium firm) and we found ourselves almost falling off a few times a night.
