What a lovely place. Having the sea on one side and the hills on the other really is something special. The views from the pod are beautiful and the whole place feels wonderfully serene.Mr and Mrs Irving are very welcoming and helpful — genuinely good people who made us feel at home.There’s plenty to do locally too. Muncaster Castle isn’t far away, the sea is very close, and just over an hour’s drive gets you right into the heart of the Lake District without any problem.We’ve had a wonderful stay and it’s a beautiful part of the country. We’d happily recommend it.”
