The Lighthouse Hide

Walney - Cottage

Everything was spotless and a great location for a relaxing holiday.

So cozy and really clean. The shower is amazing as is the Sonos sound system. The nature reserve was lovely with plenty of birds and seals on show as well as flowers and butterflies. The weather was perfect and the welcome pack was a lovely touch. The views around the reserve were amazing and a visit to Piel Island is a must. The seals sang us to every night.

Fantastic remote location on a coastal nature reserve, very quiet and peaceful. Just a few minutes walk from several wildlife hides . Pleasant, flat walks around the reserve. Ideal to watch seals and an abundance of bird life. The property is very well set up and has good facilities and the hosts were very friendly and helpful. Advisable to bring plenty of provisions due to location (several miles from nearest shop, and long bumpy track on the reserve itself). Will definitely go back.

Unique, remote and the constant pleasing sound of the waves.

We had an amazing time on a third visit to the Lighthouse Hide. Stunning location and fantastic accommodation.

It was an absolute brilliant place to relax and unwind. We loved the wind at night.

We stayed in the lighthouse hide - A beautiful little hide away for my hubbys 60th birthday. He’s a keen bird photographer who also loves lighthouses. The weather wasn’t too kind, it’s definitely wet, windy, Walney! Unfortunately the best of the hides was closed, (apparently due to being vandalised). We did manage to see a couple of seals before we left, along with a few birds that braved the weather and came out. We were quite happy being cosy in this lovely little place.

Gorgeous location. Well designed accommodation.

Good accommodation, in fantastic location, but now needs a bit of updating. e.g. new pans/and the garden needs a tidy up.

location, facilities, nice extras

Stunning location, incredible little extra touches from the guitar to the iPad with surround sound. We absolutely loved it. So many lovely memories made there. Already looking into booking another trip soon

The location was amazing, the cottage really well equipped perfect for a back to nature, recharge your batteries, weekend

This was our second stay and we absolutely love it here. Lovely comfortable accommodation in the most beautiful tranquil spot.

The Lighthouse Hide is well equipped, warm and comfortable. It's a unique location and a great place to relax for a short break.
As we like bird watching being within the Nature Reserve was ideal for us - lots of ducks and waders at this time of year. The seals hauled up on the beach and in the sea were an added bonus. We were lucky with the weather.

We couldn’t have asked for a nicer week away or nicer accommodation, it really is home from home. There’s everything you need for a lovely break and the owners should be so proud of the place. A real find for my lighthouse loving husband

Without doubt one of the best properties and locations to actually be able to relax and unwind. Great opportunities for bird and seal watching on the surrounding nature reserve. The property has all of the facilities needed for a couple to self cater or visit the local hostelries. Highly recommended.

Well designed for two, beautiful accommodation and an unbeatable location

Everything

We had an amazing holiday. It was a surprise 40th birthday get away and my partner loved it. The lighthouse hide was very clean and had everything we needed. Check in was easy. I was a tad worried i wouldnt sleep brilliantly upon learning the lighthouse was functioning with thoughts of a blinding light flashing through the room every 15 seconds. This wasnt the case at all, we slept very well and couldn't see the light flashing when blinds were down. It was lovely driving back towards the lighthouse in the evening as it flashed at the end of the island, welcoming us back. It was so peaceful, we saw a couple of walkers during our 3 day stay but other than that it was very private. Whilst we managed the bumpy off-road track in a golf estate, there were some big holes so 4x4 defining preferable and it was a 25 min drive to get off Walney island, so just be prepared for that. Nipping to get milk will take a while! They did forwarn is of this in the information so it wasn't a surpise.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay in The Hide. It is in the most amazing location, with a beautiful tidal landscape on the doorstep, and impressive hills as a backdrop. It us also extremely close to a beautiful lighthouse. The accommodation itself has everything you need and more. The hosts were lovely. We want to come again soon!

Facilities are fantastic, fully loaded self-catering accommodation. Super warm and cosy. Excellent welcome pack and treats with media for those who just want to kick back and relax. Location is great due to being secluded and smack in the middle of a nature reserve. No need to leave the island if fully stocked up as plenty to see and do with numerous wildlife hides and plenty of wildlife to see too.

The directions were excellent. It would have been very difficult especially in the dark. The Hide was very private and so warm and cosy it did not matter that a gale was blowing or it was raining so hard! Easy walks from the doorstep but sadly not on the beach as it is a reserve and prohibited.

Beautiful house with everything needed and a warm welcome Remote and beautiful location

We love the outside spaces and privacy of the hide. The Sonos music system is a great bonus. All in all the Hide offers a comfortable and modern stay.
