    “We loved our stay.”

    The cottage was in a perfect position for our weekend and we enjoyed watching the world go by from the upstairs living room. The parachutes being dropped just outside was a bonus! We enjoyed a really nice meal at The Pheasant Inn and did a couple of excellent walks from Cartmel. I do believe that the Lake District was one of the only places in the country not to suffer from significant rainfall that weekend so all in all it was a great success

The property

Nestled in idyllic, emerald countryside on the outskirts of Flookburgh in Cumbria, lies the charming, three-bedroom holiday home of Bay View Cottage.

Boasting off-road parking, enclosed lawned gardens to the front and rear, and superb views looking out upon Morecambe Bay and the Arnside & Silverdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, this delightful property makes a perfect base for a family or group of six seeking a refreshing, self-catered escape just south of the magnificent Lake District National Park.

Step into your lovely new home-from-home, where you will be greeted by a collection of well-presented living spaces.

On the ground-floor, you will find a fully-equipped kitchen where the chosen chef can get to work rustling up a delicious, home-cooked dinner for the whole group.

Savour your meals with your loved ones at the dining table, before you head upstairs to kick back and relax in the sitting room, the space kept warm by a tasteful woodburning stove, as you enjoy a movie marathon on the sleek, Smart TV.

When sleep inevitably calls, head downstairs to rejuvenate with a bath or shower before you hunker down for a much-needed rest in one of three plush bedrooms.

Wake up to amazing views of the surrounding rolling hills before you head out to explore your local area.

A brief walk into Flookburgh will bring you to the Premier convenience store where you can stock up on homely essentials, whilst a hearty pub lunch can be had at the family-ran Hope & Anchor or nearby Pheasant Inn.

A short drive away, you can enjoy a peaceful stroll through the Holker Hall & Gardens or the Ornamental Gardens in Grange-over-Sands, or even take in views of the bay at Humphrey Head.

For a day out, head north to close-by Cartmel, a historic Cumbrian village home to the Cartmel Racecourse, the tranquil waters of the River Eea, and the world-famous, Michelin-starred restaurant of L'Enclume, which offers one of the best dining experiences in the whole country.

Make your next stay in Cumbria one to remember by booking a stay at Bay View Cottage.

About the location

FLOOKBURGH

Cartmel 2 miles; Grange-over-Sands 3 miles.

A superb base to explore this interesting and beautiful area, the historic village of Flookburgh is set near the shores of Morecambe Bay on the outskirts of the magnificent Lake District. It is thought that the locally-caught Fluke fish take their name after the village, and once, Flookburgh was a popular resting point for travellers crossing the sands from Lancaster and still provides a home for cockle and shrimp fishers. Facilities in the village include a pub, a grocery, a chemist, a Post Office and two food outlets. The Cumbrian Coastal Way footpath passes nearby and a short walk away from the village is delightful countryside, such as Humphrey Head, views of the bay, with its wading bird life, and Coniston's mountain range. A few minutes’ drive or a pleasant off road walk leads to historic Cartmel, with its beautiful Priory, popular race course, antique and gift shops, pubs and restaurants; including the Michelin Star-rated L’Enclume. Just over a mile away you will find the beautiful house and gardens of Holker Hall and also nearby you can try horse riding just six miles to the north at Bigland, or visit the Edwardian resort of Grange, which offers a range of hotels, restaurants, shops, a traffic-free promenade, ornamental gardens and golf courses.
