Summary: This was one of the most incredible holidays we’ve been on, mainly due to the unique setting of the cottage. Once the gate is shut at 5pm, you’re on your own with nature, and that felt very special. Walney island is stunning we walked the north and south on separate days and loved both. Lovely pub up the top, and good food at the caravan park down the bottom. We saw loads of bird species, grey seals and rabbits galore! There is lots to do in the vicinity too: Ulverston, Furness Abbey, steam railway at Windermere, the Western Lakes, the coastline, Grange-over-Sands and we also visited the Cartmel Agricultural show! It would be helpful to have some way of passing on snagging messages for the housekeeper like a chalk board, or an electronic system. There were a couple of things not working: a bit of the oven had broken off the diverter in the second shower (it was fine- it’s a double shower!) and a drainage smell. All easily lived with, but it would improve the experience for subsequent guests.
