Fantastic

What a beautiful place. Quirky, modern, warm, comfy. Fabulous surroundings. In the middle of the south nature reserve on Walney. Weather was fab. Lovely places to walk. Seals and birds everywhere. Would reccomend

Rest and Recuperation

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.

Peace and solitude

It was an absolute brilliant place to relax and unwind. We loved the wind at night. We found the bed a little low and could possibly do with an upgrade. Although we both slept well on it.

The Hide Walney

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

Lovely quiet retreat, ideal for nature watching.

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.

Peace and tranquillity

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. Nothing to improve for the accommodation, it’s lovely! Not sure if it would be allowed, but if there were some logs / bird feeders etc. outside of the lighthouse hide, we might’ve seen some birds from the windows.

Excellent Holiday Location

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. For us there was nothing to improve.

Beautiful hide, amazing views, lots of wildlife. If you like the peace and quiet, this is for you. Facilities are great, just remember to take your food with you as popping out is not a short job! We loved it. So peaceful. A wonderful way to relax.

A great 3 day break.

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. Nothing comes to mind.

Our Lighthouse Stay

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

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.
