    Very cosy and warm due to underfloor heating. Everything spotles and hosts very friendly and helpful. Great location in central st bees. Although near the station there was no noise. Recommend

  • Isaac

    Excellent place to stay. Would recommend

  • Heather

    Lovely place however the steps leading up the the flat are extremely dangerous, I fell down them! There is no sign to explain how sloppy they are and they therefore need to have some grip on them to avoid this happening to others. The flat itself is lovely but really hot so we had the windows open throughout our stay. St Bees is a beautiful little place and great for what we did in the Lakes.
