This is a peaceful, basic site with stunning estuary views, popular for its location for walks and birdwatching. The pitches are level and spacious. Owners are frequently praised for being friendly, helpful, and welcoming. Facilities, particularly the portaloo, are consistently described as exceptionally clean. While no electric hook-ups are available, most visitors found the site excellent value and a relaxing getaway.

Lovely and peaceful in a great setting
Non-electric gravel motorhome pitch
Liked Lovely quiet place right on the estuary front. Nice, flat space with plenty of room. Toilet facilities were great and well maintained. Location fantastic, very peaceful and right on the coastal path so great for long walks. We walked to Silecroft along the beach, quite a long walk but we'll worth it then you can get the train back which is only 5 minutes then a shortish walk from Millom station. We were blessed with excellent weather over a 2 night Fri-Sun stay. Also, Internet signal was really good, no wifi but managed to watch sports on TV with no buffering or signal drop. Overall, fabulous.
Disliked Guests who arrived late Saturday with two noisy dogs barking and they put off a quieter couple with a small dog who moved away. Not cause for complaint, we've stayed on a few sites with unruly kids and lazy parents.

Liked We had a wonderful stay at Estuary View Escapes. It’s a lovely small site – peaceful, quiet, and with absolutely stunning views across the estuary. The location couldn’t be better: just a five-minute stroll takes you onto a golden sandy beach, and there are plenty of great walks nearby which our dogs loved.
Practical things were spot on too: mobile phone signal and TV reception were excellent, which isn’t always guaranteed in more remote spots. The site doesn’t offer WiFi, but honestly, that just added to the relaxing atmosphere.
I have to mention the facilities – don’t be put off by the idea of portaloos. They were by far the cleanest and best-maintained I’ve ever come across, checked regularly and always in great condition.
What really stood out though were the hosts, Louise and Lea. They were so welcoming, friendly, and genuinely helpful, which made the stay all the more enjoyable.
If you’re looking for a quiet, scenic getaway with fabulous hosts and the beach on your doorstep, Estuary View Escapes is a hidden gem. We’ll definitely be back!

Liked Outstanding view, walking from site, wading birds on the estuary and friendly and helpful owners. Especially enjoyed the ice cream they brought to us on our final rather hot day.
Disliked Smell from the portaloo which occasionally wafted our way.

From the manager: Thanks for your review.
Sorry about that unfortunately that would be due to the extremely hot weather we were having, the toilets are always immaculately clean

Great stay and will be returning.
Non-electric gravel motorhome pitch
Liked We have just returned from our three night stay at Estuary Views Escapes and myself and my wife loved it. Back to basics with no hook up, loved it and i would say to Lee and Louise keep it as that you've nailed it. The views from the hardstanding pitch was beautiful looking over the estuary. I met Lee who was a great guy, unfortunatley we didn't meet Louise she was living the dream on a break in Dubia and rightly so after see the work that shes done on the site and especially the toilets which were immaculate. I could have stayed in the loos as they were that clean and smelt like you were walking through the duty free of the perfume and aftershave department at the airport. Beach is 5 minutes walk from the site and Millom is around 25 minutes walk where you can find ships, pubs & takeaways and theres a pub within walking distance. Ideal for walkers and dog owners and cannot recommend it enough. We will be returning as my wife has now put this site at number one in her lists of places that we have visited. Well done to Lee & Louise for making something from nothing with a unique experience. Steve & Julie.
