We stayed with our extended family and had a great break. This is ideal if you want a little peace and quiet.
As you can see from the photos one of the main features is that the two sides of the house that over look the sea are glass fronted. This makes the house lovely and light and a perfect spot to watch the world go by. We were lucky and had sunny weather, but I suspect it would also be dramatic in stormy weather.
The house itself was lovely and large, a big kitchen/dinner, a long conservatory area, a couple of lounges and the bedrooms. All of the bedrooms are decent, but one in particular has a balcony and beautiful views (you can fight over that one).
You also get your own little bit of beach...it's pebbly rather than sandy, but we spent a long while looking for shells.
Away from the house the area is peaceful. Which meant there were some lovely beaches with no-on on them. As the other review said you will need transport for shops etc. But Barrow isn't far.
The southern lakes aren't far (45 mins) so trips to Windermere and the area are pretty easy. So we went for walks etc, but my older parents were happy in the house.
Oh and if it's of interest to you there are plenty of Parkruns nearby...Feel Foot (Windermere) was great, you could swim in the Lake afterwards.
So if you want a peaceful trip this is highly recommended and we are going back.
