We love the layout

We love the layout. It felt like home, and the view was amazing from the front room, which was upstairs, and the nature reserve was beautiful, and there was a lot of cattle and sheep running free and watching the birds and hares Being on the nature reserves, the road is rough, but there is nothing else that we didn't like

Perfect stay.

This stay was just what we needed. Easy travel to the Lakes where we had wonderful walks, then could escape back to secluded peace at the light house. The property is beautifully presented, exceeded our expectations which were high

Beautiful remote location.

Perfect for unwinding in nature. Very cosy and clean and good for a family stay. It is a remote place so pubs and shops are a drive away, however this adds to the peacefulness.

Quiet, just you and the birds and maybe a sealtwo

In no particular order… Underfloor heating, the shower and the remote button to turn it on. Very comfy bed. Loved the metal art on the walls. Well equipped kitchen.

Amazing location

Amazing location, a special place well equipped. The fitted sheet on the bed in the master bedroom was a bit small and kept coming off the mattress, was a bit annoying.

Lighthouse stay 2022

The lighthouse is really lovely, luxurious accommodation. It is supplied with everything you could possibly need and the hosts include a neat welcome package. The island is beautiful and the chance to enjoy it in peace and quiet when the reserve gates were shut was something we really valued. We fully recommend the lighthouse, the island and the hosts.

Stunning

The cottage is beautifully decorated and equipped. Watching the birds and seals in the shoreline bird hyde was fabulous. The track leading to the cottage was very uneven but it became part of the adventure!

Well we didn’t expect to stay in such a remote and iconic location.

You really do feel that you are cut off from everyone and everywhere else. We will always remember our unforgettable stay at the very southernmost tip of Walney Island Thanks again

Wonderful stay

As a family we enjoy staying in unquie placed as this did not dissapoint, it was brilliant. The lighthouse is remote, peaceful and full of wildlife and a great getaway from the hustle and bustle of modern life. The house had everything we needed, we were given a lovely welcome package, great directions and good advice before our stay. The sun sets into evening were amazing so was watching the seals at high tide. Would highly recommend this property. Nothing for us
Response from VrboOwner on 7 Sept 2024
Hi Alan, Thank you for your recommendation, we really appreciate your feedback. I am pleased to hear you had a peaceful retreat and were able to connect to nature, the wildlife sounds like a lovely addition, nothing beats waking up to birdsong. Seals and Sunsets sounds Idyllic! We hope to see you again in the future.

One of the most peaceful and relaxing breaks that I think I have ever had.

The Lighthouse Cottage is a fabulous place to stay if you want peace and quiet along with stunning scenery. The Cottage is very well equipped with everything you will ever need for your stay. Absolutely loved the log burner fire which was so nice when the wind and rain outside was blowing a storm. The Cottage is very tastefully furnished and everything is of the highest quality. The Cottage is on a private Nature reserve and the walks are beautiful with many hides dotted around where you can sit and watch the wildlife. I cannot recommend Lighthouse Cottage highly enough. Not a problem for us but not suitable if you do not have a car.
