The South Walney Nature Reserve, with its wild, rugged scenery and rolling dunes, is the perfect setting for a remote retreat. And nestled at the foot of its lighthouse, this little home welcomes you to cuddle up, get cosy and experience the rejuvenating spirit of the Cumbrian countryside. Stepping inside, you’ll find the living room creates an instant sense of welcome, while the fully equipped kitchen has everything you could need to enjoy the comfort of home cooking. And with views across the dunes, you could spend hours here gazing at the scenery and enjoying the simple pleasure of relaxing by the fire. However, should you feel the call to put on your hiking boots and adventure outside, you won’t be disappointed. Follow one of the trails across the dunes, listen to the sound of the birds, look out for Grey seals and witness incredible sunsets. However you choose to spend your time here, every moment promises to be enriched by the natural beauty of this unique location.

Local guide
About The Lake District
Poets and novelists have often escaped to the Lake District for a spot of inspiration. Famously, Wordsworth pondered about daffodils and clouds during his time here. The undulating hills are tracked with drystone walls while sheep graze, and farmsteads enjoy untouched beauty for miles around. England’s biggest lake, Windermere, cuts through a valley, sleek as glass and hosts a litany of cosy-pub-filled towns and water sports venues along its shores....
