Summary: What a beautiful place. Quirky, modern, warm, comfy. Fabulous surroundings. In the middle of the south nature reserve on Walney. Weather was fab. Lovely places to walk. Seals and birds everywhere. Would reccomend
Sarah Oct 13, 2024 11:21:27 PM
Summary: Everything was spotless and a great location for a relaxing holiday.
Clive Oct 5, 2024 11:23:24 PM
Summary: Fantastic remote location on a coastal nature reserve, very quiet and peaceful. Just a few minutes walk from several wildlife hides . Pleasant, flat walks around the reserve. Ideal to watch seals and an abundance of bird life. The property is very well set up and has good facilities and the hosts were very friendly and helpful. Advisable to bring plenty of provisions due to location (several miles from nearest shop, and long bumpy track on the reserve itself). Will definitely go back.

Summary: So cozy and really clean. The shower is amazing as is the Sonos sound system. The nature reserve was lovely with plenty of birds and seals on show as well as flowers and butterflies. The weather was perfect and the welcome pack was a lovely touch. The views around the reserve were amazing and a visit to Piel Island is a must. The seals sang us to every night.

Summary: We stayed in the lighthouse hide - A beautiful little hide away for my hubbys 60th birthday. He’s a keen bird photographer who also loves lighthouses. The weather wasn’t too kind, it’s definitely wet, windy, Walney! Unfortunately the best of the hides was closed, (apparently due to being vandalised). We did manage to see a couple of seals before we left, along with a few birds that braved the weather and came out. We were quite happy being cosy in this lovely little place. Nothing to improve for the accommodation, it’s lovely! Not sure if it would be allowed, but if there were some logs / bird feeders etc. outside of the lighthouse hide, we might’ve seen some birds from the windows.

Summary: Gorgeous location. Well designed accommodation. Nothing that matters.
