This cabin and its location was just what we needed. It is set in an amazing location with views of the mountains and the sea, The cabin was lovely, warm and inviting, the log burner was a fabulous addition and the log burning hot tub was an experience, the dark sky offered a n amazing star gazing experience. Walks were on the doorstep and the pub only a pleasant mile walk. A location for everyone, hillls and beaches within a short distance. The hosts were friendly and welcoming can’t fault it. We will be back **

We would highly recommend.It really was a home away from home.Warm and welcoming, the views are stunning with sea too the right and scarfell pike too the left.The beach is close by, along with local amenities. The pub at the beginning of the lane service good food, which you could walk to. Or your could stay in and cook a meal to eat on the porch. The woodburing hot tub is an added bonus.Would definitely return.
