Liked: The cabin was lovely and cosy. The bed was really comfortable. I liked sitting on the little sofa and reading the tiny house/cabin books. It is a really peaceful area and Silecroft beach is just a short drive away. Would recommend the Byre Cafe in Bootle.

Liked: Beautiful cabin and surrounding fields, lovely pebbly beach and good walks. Good for walkers, people who want some zen.
Disliked: Not much of a dislike more a recommendation- surrounding villages very quiet/derelict, it’s great if you want to have meals in the cabin and have some peace and not experience of Fomo. Then again I did visit middle of winter, may be more lively in Summer!!

From the manager: Thanks for the great review. Things are very quiet in early January but our fantastic new beach cafe at Silecroft with a lovely menu and views of the sea is great even on a winter day and is dog friendly. We also have a great pub at Kirksanton (King William) which is open for breakfast lunch and dinner even in the winter,also dog friendly. Maybe a bit quiet but not derelict for sure.😁

Liked: Absolute gem of a place!!! We really loved everything about it. Decided to book and come with our dog to escape the New Year’s fireworks! Amazing location, close to lots of beautiful countryside walks, a short drive from Silecroft beach, Millom and Haverigg and not far a drive from the south of The Lake District (Coniston and Ulverston). The cabin has everything you think you may need and then more! Fully equipped campers’ kitchen, basic but modern, a good size fridge (has no freezer/ice box), electric hob plate, toaster, microwave and kettle. Best night’s sleep we’ve had in a while too, the bed was so comfy! So cozy, peaceful and considering it was the end of December, it was very warm and clean too. Decent sized bathroom with walk-in shower. Lots of plugs to charge your phone/tablet, good Wi-Fi (we streamed series on our tablet fine and even had a couple of Skype calls), dog friendly, parking is available right next to the cabin too and there is a little guide book in the cabin carefully put together by our host Louise who was so lovely and friendly and happily answered all my questions! We loved it so much that we ended up extending our stay for one more night too and we’re also considering coming back for our anniversary in spring. It was the perfect stay for us and we couldn’t have asked for a better way to spend New Year’s. Thank you and we’ll definitely be back next new year!

From the manager: Thanks for the great review, for future guests, we lost power in the area for a few hours due to Storm Bert, hence the heating, but as we live on site fortunately we can check on any issues and keep guests up to date. Luckily power cuts are rare and usually only due to extreme weather but these guests were great sports, many thanks guys!

From the manager: Thanks for the review and for staying, you definitely hit the weather jackpot! You can use the wfi to stream TV if you bring you own lap top or screen, the wifi is pretty good with unlimited data.We can't get normal TV due to the signal being blocked by Dog Crag above the property.
