Description
Lighthouse Cottage is a fabulous, one-of-a-kind property situated at the southern tip of Cumbria in the heart of the South Walney Nature Reserve. Surrounded by wildlife and with incredible sea and nature reserve views it's the perfect location for a memorable getaway.

The nature reserve is windswept and rugged, home to a wonderful diversity of bird species making Lighthouse Cottage popular with bird-watchers and wildlife enthusiasts. Grey seals can also be spotted swimming in the sea at high tide! The sunrises and sunsets are simply stunning and guests will love the experience of being immersed in nature.

Inside, the cottage does not disappoint - it is furnished to a high standard with a contemporary feel with many thoughtful touches guests will love.

On the ground floor there are three bedrooms and family bathroom. The master bedroom has a king-sized bed and luxury en-suite with walk-in double shower. For the lazy morning lie-ins, there's a mounted TV which can be watched from the bed.

The second bedroom - 'The White Room' - has a comfortable king size bed. It too has a wall-mounted TV which can be watched from the bed.

Bedroom number three - 'The Red Room' - has zip link twins, which can also be configured as a king-size double on request.

The spacious family bathroom has a large shower over bath in a contemporary style. There is also a handy utility room with a washing machine and tumble dryer.

The main living quarters can be found up the stairs and make the most of the wonderful views. Binoculars and bird watching guidebooks can provide hours of entertainment from the dunes around the reserve with guests able to spot eider ducks, willow warbler and sandwich terns in the Spring or nesting gulls, eiders, oystercatchers ringed plovers and sandwich terns in the summer. In the cooler Autumn and Winter months, guests can keep warm using the beautiful log burner after the long walks to spot the waders and wildfowl.

The fully-fitted kitchen has all the amenities and equipment to cook up a feast during the self-catered stay including a Krups/Nespresso coffee machine and an integrated dishwasher.

Outside, there is ample off-road parking for several cars and there are plenty of trails to explore across the dunes. The Hide is next door and is let separately - both can be booked together to sleep 8.

Please note this is a nature reserve and there are restrictions on where you can wander and there is no access to the beach at this south tip of Walney Island. The reserve is a Nature Reserve run by the Cumbria Wildlife Trust and it is a Site of Special Scientific Interest and there are strict rules to follow regarding where you can wander on the island. No dogs are allowed at the property or anywhere on the reserve, even on a lead. No fireworks and no drones are permitted.

The nature reserve is closely monitored by a warden and car registration details are required to access the lane to the property prior to your arrival.

Lighthouse Cottage is accessed a good mile along a bumpy track through the island. We would recommend you bringing a vehicle with a high clearance, if you have the option, for a more comfortable arrival.
