    “The stay was disappointing.”

    There was a smell of damp throughout the house and actually things left in the living room were actually damp and we found on times it was warmer outside than in the house. The heating wouldn’t stay on and flicked off after around 15 mins of being turned on. Also it was clear to see pets had stayed there although an advertised as not pet friendly which left 2 of our party with dog allergies not enjoying being there.

    There was a smell of damp throughout the house and actually things left in the living room were actually damp and we found on times it was warmer outside than in the house. The heating wouldn’t stay on and flicked off after around 15 mins of being turned on. Also it was clear to see pets had stayed there although an advertised as not pet friendly which left 2 of our party with dog allergies not enjoying being there. On top of that the hoover didn’t work so couldn’t even give it a good clean. On a positive note cleanliness aside from the pets was fine though and the beds were very comfortable.

St. Bees is home to the famous Coast to Coast Walk, a walking route that starts at the St. Bees Head, crosses the breadth of the North of England, and ends in Robin Hood's Bay, passing through the mountainous Lake District, the rolling Yorkshire Dales and the heather-clad North York Moors. Speaking of national parks, the village is located on the outskirts of the gorgeous Lake District National Park where you can find an abundance of outdoor activities to do while admiring the charming sights of the Lakes. For a cultural day out, a ten-minute drive takes you to the seaside resort town of Whitehaven, where you can visit The Beacon Museum and The Rum Story to learn about Whitehaven's history of being the UK's main Rum port or explore the plethora of historical landmarks the town has preserved.

About the location

ST BEES

Whitehaven 5 miles.

St. Bees is an historic seaside village on the west coast of Cumbria with a Norman priory and Elizabethan public school, as well as a shop, post office and old traditional pubs. It's an ideal base for exploring the western Lake District and Cumbrian coast, and is the start of the famous Wainwright coast to coast walk. St. Bees Head is the only major sea cliff between Wales and Scotland and is the only Heritage coastline in Cumbria. There is a fine beach and many wonderful walks are available along the clifftops, which are also home to one of England’s most important seabird colonies. There is also a nine-hole golf course in the village. Nearby Whitehaven, an elegant Georgian port, and the spectacular western Lakes, are more than worthy of a visit. Muncaster Castle is 8 miles away, as is the Eskdale and Ravenglass miniature railway. Cockermouth, the birth place of Wordsworth, and Keswick on Derwentwater are also within easy driving distance.
