West Croft

Lovely spacious, cosy and very well equipped cottage.

Views were fantastic. Great walks straight from the door. Loved it and will definitely return!

The only issue, I was a little anxious.

in the shower as no grab rail, I feel would be much safer if one was fitted.

Lovely spacious house and so quiet and calming.

Wish we had read that there was a freezer in the garage before we left

Cannot fault West Croft.

We came to make memories for my brother-West Croft and the area provided in huge amounts. It was the most comfortable and well equipped holiday let we have stayed in. Coming back after a days hiking into the warmth was just what we all needed. The views from the front of the property were stunning-every sunset/sunrise revealed more of the beautiful surroundings. Welcome pack was a lovely touch-the biscuits were yummy. Thank you for such a wonderful stay.

Wow what a place.

Yes arriving during a storm and a power cut made finding the cottage harder than it could have been. But owners could not have been more helpful. The Xmas decorations were very thoughtful and well done and made our family Xmas meal special. The cottage was warm, comfortable and well stocked. Thank you.

Wow.

What a beautiful spotless comfy spacious cottage. The views from the kitchen spectacular. We loved every minute of our stay. Came away totally relaxed. Visited the local pub on our last night. Can fully recommend., the food and service was excellent.

Excellent accommodation in a rural country village.

I've been to West Croft about 6 times.

The place just gets better and better. If you want a relaxing break, there is no better place to go.

We love this place late October nice and warm the whole place makes me with we lived hear beautiful views out of the windows short walk to the beach stretch your legs for mile’s if you wish we will be back

This cottage was perfect for our multi generational holiday - youngest being 1 and oldest 87!

We all felt super comfortable as soon as we arrived and will have happy memories :) We would definitely book again. Loved that we could walk to the pub, playground and beach but also that it was super quiet with only the cows for company

Beautiful cottage, it was cosy, comfortable, and very clean.

The heating worked wonderfully for the chilly days we had, the kitchen was spacious and well-furnished, the bathrooms clean and mould-free. The living room was very spacious and comfortable, we could all relax without getting in each others' space, and the bedrooms were clean and comfortable. The views from the cottage were stunning, and the whole property was well-maintained. Thank you for the wonderful stay! 5/5, would definitely book again.

This is a lovely, spacious bungalow with beautiful views, in a gorgeous location.

So peaceful and quiet with a pretty garden. Excellently equipped kitchen. Bookcase in the lounge with many games, puzzles and DVD's. Lovely large bedrooms and comfortable beds with good bed linen. The whole area is rural, with stunning coastal views across to Scotland. We loved exploring the surrounding towns and villages, and then returning to the comfort of West Croft. Like so many guests before us we would highly recommend West Croft and this beautiful part of Cumbria. We have already booked our return!

It's a beautiful place to stay.

I don't think you can stay in a more peaceful place. Highly recommended.

Spotlessly clean with everything needed.

Great location for visiting the area and wonderful garden to sit and relax in with views across the fields to the Lake District mountains - with just the sound of cows, sheep and the birds as a backdrop. Smashing.

Really comfortable spotlessly clean bungalow.

Very well equipped everything you could need. Lovely quiet village with stunning views and coastal walks within minutes. Would certainly recommend.

Absolutely loved this property.

Very comfortable, private, beautiful garden with everything you need. Extremely quiet, beautiful views and short walk to the beach and Cumbrian Way. We will definitely return.

We absolutely loved West Croft.

It felt like a home from home straight away. There was everything we needed, plus more. And the views were exceptional! A very short walk to a lovely pub and the wonderful coastline. We will definitely be back!

Very comfy and warm cottage and exceptionally clean

Review by Maxine & Michael.

West Croft This bungalow was booked for us as a gift for our anniversary. West Croft is a fantastic bungalow. It was very peaceful & private. Very clean, well equipped with everything we needed. We had a great time exploring the area. The locals very helpful & welcoming. Our two dogs loved the beach which is only a 5 minute walk away. We would definately book again. Maxine & Michael.

Wonderful cottage.

Very clean well equiped and well maintained. Situated in easy reach of so many places. SILLOH a little gem small picturesque town but supplyng everything needed. Highly recommend to family and friends

A beautiful cottage, in a peaceful setting, well equipped with comfy beds and quality bedding provided.

This is a lovely base in walking distance of the beach and within reach of some other hidden gems. There is everything you need here and the place was spotless when we arrived. The welcome pack of tea/coffee/milk and biscuits was also a lovely touch. Fluffy towels were provided, we always take our own as hubby has allergies to certain detergents, but its great that these were also good quality. We would definitely recommend staying here and would like to thank the owners for sharing it with us, a quiet break away from it all was exactly what we needed.

West Croft is a fantastic bungalow with beautiful views and very peaceful.

The house was spotlessly clean and well equipped. We had a great time exploring the local area and spending time on the beach just a few minutes walk away. We would definitely book again.

We were so glad to have found West Croft, up there with some of the best we have rented in the last thirty years.

West Croft sits in a quiet and peacefully private setting. The bungalow itself has everything you need to enjoy a self catering holiday. It has comfortable beds and sofas. The kitchen is well equipped with all the equipment you need. Plenty of seats for more than six people to eat in, although there were only two of us. It was spotlessly clean. There are beautiful views from the front windows towards the Lakeland fells. It was great to watch the weather rolling in. The beach is not too far away, and Mawbray Banks are very interesting to walk along. With lots to discover if you are interested in wildlife. We spotted lots of different things. The local gastro pub is only a short stroll away, with a nice children’s play area opposite. Very tasty food and well worth a visit. There was a welcome pack waiting for us on arrival, including tea, coffee, milk and biscuits. Plus there were dish washer tablets, soap, and other cleaning products. We contacted the owner a couple of times while staying. She was so kind, friendly, and patient with us. We would love a return visit. Five stars from us!!

Very well equipped, perfect for our needs

West Croft is a lovely comfortable, well equipped and well presented bungalow, situated in peaceful countryside a short distance from the coast.

There are extensive views of the Lake District Fells from the lounge and kitchen windows, and the outdoor seating area and lovely front garden. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay there.

Lovely clean, spacious, comfortable, well-equipped bungalow, with stunning views, only a short walk to the beach and pub.

We found the directions to the bungalow, when we reached the village, a bit confusing, not knowing which patch of grass was the “village green”. Perhaps somewhere in the information, it could be stated that the freezer is in the garage.

The place was beautiful, so comfortable and homely.

It had everything you would need for a stay and its position near the coast was excellent. Not too far from the lakes either, we would definitely recommend it to anyone.

Brilliant property everything you could want well equipped spacious.

thank you for our milk and tea and coffee.will come back again lowthers arms is a warm and welcoming and the food is outstanding so would recommend them for a meal and again I thank you for a lovely week

Really enjoyed the stay (2nd time at the property).

The weather held up and good to see the Lowther Arms pub back up and running as a focal point for the local, friendly community and visitors. Always a pleasure to stay at West Croft and visit the beautiful surrounding areas (especially Silloth). We shall definitely be returning at some point in the future...

West Croft is a lovely, homely and relaxing place to stay in the heart of the quiet, friendly village of Mawbray.

It has everything you need for a ‘home from home’ holiday, and is in a great location for exploring the surrounding area. The views from the property are terrific, and the property is well equipped and spotlessly clean. It’s located very close to the beach with views across to Scotland and is perfect for walking or just wandering the shoreline looking for treasure! We recommend walking down the coastline to the Allonby Tea Rooms for lunch (worth booking, as they get busy) or finish your day at the local community owned pub, The Lowther Arms, for superbly cooked meals with a very warm welcome. Worth noting great options for veggies and vegans at both places. Can’t think of a nicer place to base yourself to recharge and unwind, we didn’t want to leave!

We booked an Easter break with our 2 dogs.

Upon arrival ( we were an hour early) the family were cleaning the property and made us feel welcome by making us tea and providing water for the dogs after a long journey. The Bungalow was extremely spacious, clean, well presented and in a great location for our needs. It is well stocked with kitchen equipment and the panoramic views of the countryside are a delight to wake up to. The property is very close to the beach too which the dogs loved. Close to Silloth for a short drive to get fish and chips, Whitehaven, Maryport and Workington & Carlisle.We even managed a nice meal at Armathwaite Hall in Keswick. If I was staying on the west coast again I would certainly come back here. I've already recommended this place to one of my friends

West Croft proved to be an excellent base from which to explore this quiet coastline, warm, comfortable and welcoming, well equipped and spotlessly clean, we look forward to returning in the future, thank you to the owners for a great holiday home.

Fantastic all the comforters 5 mins to beach quite village views out of the window outstanding this is are type of holiday will be back

Stayed for 3 weeks including Christmas and it was perfect.

Every comfort, so well equipped...wanted for nothing. Weather awful but the joy of West Croft made it all cosy and safe. Coastline beautiful and beaches very near. The dog loved the space of the house and garden. And to arrive with beautiful Christmas tree lit up was so thoughtful with yummy welcome pack Oh well, all good things come to and end. Thanks so much.

(Review for stay completed April 2023) Superb property tucked away in the small village of Mawbray with excellent links to the north Lakes and the towns of Silloth and Maryport.

The property is also close to the seafront and excellent for walks and admiring the stunning scenery of the area. The property itself is ample and has all the comforts of home and the friendly helpful owners are just a phone call away. I would definitely recommend this property to anyone looking for a quiet and stress-free holiday in beautiful and relaxing surroundings. I have booked this property again for a holiday next year so that must count for a lot...!!

The bungalow is in a super location to access the coastal path with easy walks to Silloth (5 miles) and Allonby (2.

5 miles) as well as easily accessible lane walks. On a quiet lane just out of the village of Mawbray with little passing traffic and super views of the Lakeland Fells. A comfortable home to return to after a day's walking or adventuring further afield. Well equipped kitchen and large freezer in the garage. The garage was also useful for accommodating the dog's sleeping crate. Would highly recommend for a quiet and peaceful relaxing holiday!

A lovely, spacious property.

Ideal for quiet, relaxing breaks or as a base for exploring the Solway Coast or further afield in the Lake District. I would highly recommend a stay here.

Had a wonderful week at West Croft.

Great location for a ‘get away from it all stay’.

West Croft was everything we hoped for: warm, clean, spacious and well equipped.

The location is excellent with stunning beach walks only a short stroll away and there are great views from the front of the property. The nearby pub is welcoming and has cask ale. We would thoroughly recommend a stay and we hope to return.

Lovely accommodation well maintained and has everything you need for your holiday.

It was a second visit so we knew what to expect. It is a credit to the owners.

bungalow was home from home so clean and cosy loved the christmas tree and lights in the porch on arrival was a nice touch beds were comfy a very relaxing and enjoyable stay was sad to leave but will be back credit to the owners

Great accommodation.

..Top marks

Excellent accommodation as always.

Lovely property in great setting, beach is fabulous (especially for those with dogs) and would highly recommend the pub, very friendly and good food.

West Croft was in an idyllic location, looking out of bedroom, kitchen and living room windows was a perfect sight, unspoilt view of hills and farmland just gorgeous.

The house itself was very well presented with more than enough room for us, have never seen a cottage so full of personal memorabilia, was lovely to imagine the family that lived there before. The facilities at West Croft were very good, kitchen was well stocked with everything you could possibly think of, the milk in the fridge was a nice touch, and welcome tray also, we did bring some things with us, and just topped up sugar and coffee jars when we left. The cottage was very clean, and very hot when the heating came on, I had to turn down radiators as was to hot, the shower was lovely and quite powerful and the bath quite long, I'm only 5ft 1 and could just about touch end with tiptoes haha. All in all a fabulous stay, have recommended it to lots of friends, and hope to rebook in the future

The cottage is beautiful.

Every stay I've had here I've enjoyed immensely. Highly recommended.

Would highly recommend West Croft.

Excellent facilities, beautiful views from all sides of house, comfortable and clean.Many attractions nearby to visit.

Everything was excellent, the cottage is perfect for a well equipped relaxing holiday and in a great location.

Comfortable property, fully equipped.

Great views from property

The perfect holiday cottage.

Quiet, spacious, clean, well equipped and the owner was extremely kind & helpful; no fault to be found. Westcroft is home from home and a fantastic base for our stay. 10 mins (max) walk from the beach and lots of other wonderful walking opportunities. Nearby Allonby has great fish & chips too! We’re looking forward to returning soon :))

It’s a lovely place that felt like home very, very comfortable.

It’s a very quiet and peaceful area with a beautiful coastline and only 40 minute drive to The Lakes. Loads of games, books and dvds provided which we didn’t really need as the weather was really good. The drive along the coast road is really picturesque.

West Croft is a lovely home to relax in and enjoy the beautiful views, the garden and the coastal area walks.

Everything we needed and more was there and is of a good standard. Despite us not having great weather, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this peaceful area and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.

Fantastic bungalow everything you could need provided.

the mattresses were very comfortable .the bungalow was warm and easy to move around for the not so able bodied the few steps into the hall were manageable.great views in a quiet and peaceful area we would highly recommend this property, and would book again.

I am trying to find the words to describe the property, wonderful would be an understatement.

Everything you could possibly need has been provided, the rooms are big and furnished wonderfully. Particularly liked the old wooden chairs dotted around and the little table in the corner of the lower lounge. It was so quiet and peaceful. We will definitely consider going again. One of the nicest holiday cottages we have ever stayed in for both amenities and the care and thought of the owners. Absolutely lovely

Beautiful cottage I side and out.

I wish I could own it and live there as such a relaxing chilling place.

Once again we had a great stay in the cottage.

Even though the weather was at its worst at times, the cottage was warm, comfortable and very, very relaxing. We will be back, but this time we may not leave it for six years!

We loved our time at the cottage and the surrounding area.

The cottage was well equity and homely. The owners were accompanying and easily contactable. We will be coming back again.

A lovely cottage, spotless, comfy and very well equipped, and the view from the kitchen window is sensational!

West Croft is a lovely cottage!

An eclectic mix of old and new but very comfortable and well equipped. Mawbray village is also lovely; the community pub does terrific food and the locals are very welcoming. The only downside was not having anywhere secure (at the cottage) to let the dogs off lead. This wasn't a huge problem for us as the beach is only a short walk away and public footpaths criss cross the fields so lots of places to walk but the path around the back of the cottage does not really constitute a secure area for dogs. Having said that, it would not stop us going again! The cottage and area were gorgeous, a real undiscovered gem.

We appreciated the space and comfort of the property.

The layout, with the lounge well separated from the bedrooms, was ideal. It was very helpful to have a second toilet and sink.

This was a lovely bungalow and provided all we could have asked for.

Spotlessly clean, in a perfect position, quiet but ideal to explore an undiscovered coastline. Our family of six spent a really enjoyable holiday at Westcroft.

Very large bungalow in the rural village of Mawbrey.

We loved our stay in July 2021, it is in a very peaceful location, close to the beach and within an hour drive of most of the attractions in the Lake District. The owner Kathleen is extremely friendly and helpful and was available throughout our stay for anything we needed. Would certainly recommend it!

The pictures of the bungalow don’t do it justice !

Very clean and cozy in beautiful surroundings. We would definitely recommend it.

We were there for a week of work.

Lots of space within the house, good amount of parking and nice front yard to have a coffee in whilst the sun is shining. The only minor thing is that the fridge is quite small and something to bare in mind when staying with a large group. Other than that it’s clean and nice! Ps: i’ve lost some toyota keys when I was there, if anyone finds them please get in touch. Thank you

Large detatched bungalow, obviously a well loved family home, full of character.

Beautiful village,10min walk to a very quiet beach. Perfect place to get away from it all.

Owners very helpful

lovely, comfortable cottage with everything you need.

owners were most helpful. only downside for us was having to drive quite a bit to visit places, as the cottage is in a remote position saying that the views were beautiful.

We have stayed in several Sykes holiday rentals around the country and this one was the best ever spotlessly clean very well equipped very homely and welcoming and the owners very helpful and friendly wouldn't hesitate to recommend to friends and relatives

Cottage was excellent, "Home from Home".

The view "framed by the kitchen window" is Beautiful . The area is Beautiful. Totally relaxing. Loved It

The view from west Croft was amazing and the cows came to say morning loved everything about the cottage and Mawbray beautiful

We have had a lovely holiday at West Croft.

The property is spacious, immaculately clean, very well equipped, warm, and extremely comfortable. There is a short 10 minute stroll to the beach, where you will find miles of sand, dunes, and hardly any other person. This is a perfect place to find peace and quiet and enjoy a comfortable, relaxing break. A short drive and you’ll find restaurants and major shops in Workington or Whitehaven, or 30 minutes in the car you’ll be in Cockermouth and the lakes. We’ve had a great time, and will certainly look to book again and return to West Croft.

Really nice, warm and clean bungalow great kitchen and living room.

nice views over the lake district.....good location for exploring the area.

Amazing view of Lake District from this lovely well appointed cottage.

Very clean and comfortable. Ideal base for touring Solway Coast. Lots there to enjoy.

Had a fabulous relaxing break.

The cottage is fantastic, spacious, extremely clean and very well equipped with everything you need and more. The only downside was that there was no gates on the beautiful garden just a cattle grid at the bottom which our dog kept escaping over! We ended up having to tie him up when we were sat in the garden to avoid him injuring himself. There is a fully enclosed yard for the dog out the back. Other than this we could not fault the place. Pure peace and quiet and the owners were lovely too, would recommend 100%!

A beautiful cottage.

Extremely comfortable, well maintained and very quite. I highly recommend.

Very enjoyable stay in this spacious and well equipped bungalow.

Stunning views to the front and easy access everywhere despite the road diversion in operation. Thoroughly recommend to anyone wishing to sample the delights of the Splway Coast.

A truely great house, we felt really spoiled living here for the week.

Excellent location, despite the road closure between Allonby and Silloth (causing all traffic passing our bungalow). A good starting point for our explorations in the Lake district! We had a lovely week in Mawbray, Thank you Kathleen.

West croft is an extremely roomy, well situated cottage.

It is very clean and comfortable. All the beds were very comfortable and quality linens. The views from the cottage are lovely. Not too far to walk to the quiet beach. We would definitely recommend this cottage to a family and would rent again if we needed a larger cottage

We enjoyed our stay at West Croft.

The property is spacious,very clean and comfortable.A credit to the very pleasant and none intrusive owners.Peacefully situated with great uninterupted views of the lakeland hills in the distance.Good Wi Fi signal,wide beach and sand dune walks overlooking the Solway Firth just a short stroll away,ideal for four legged friends! We would'nt hesitate to book again or recommend to others!

This house was said to be dog friendly but when we got there there was a sign saying no dogs in bedroom which is fine alot do that but there was also one saying no dogs on furniture either which is fine when we are awake we can stop them from going on the chairs but ment at bedtime we had to close the living room door and bedroom doors which left him in the hallway all night so with all the door closed on my dog we could not hear if he needs to go out for a wee at night so we was up and down all night to try and make sure he did not leave a mess .

Also the bedroom doors do not close properly so if he pushed it it would come open so had to put bags by the door on the inside of the bedrooms so he could not get in. A lovely house but I think it should not have said it was dog friendly so many more houses that are far more pet friendly and I have stayed in many of them .

The cottage was beautiful and the area nice and quiet.

In 20 years of using Sykes, this one was the best.

The extras in the kitchen were a delightful surprise, milk, tea, biscuits etc etc.

The cottage was exceptional.

Pets are welcome but no gate to stop them leaving the property as my dog jumped the cattle grid.

But there was nothing else wrong with property, very clean and comfortable

Lovely, well equipped bungalow in a peaceful village and a stone's throw away from the beach.

A great base for exploring the Solway coast and The Lake District.

Excellent cottage, roomy well equipped everything you could need for your holiday.

Lovely area.

Comfortable and well equipt cottage. So peaceful. We would like to return.

Lovely cottage .

Very rural surrounded by fields. No back garden but on a quiet road. Very far north of lakes about 40 minutes from keswick. Close to coast. House spacious with comfortable beds. Lovely local pub within 2 minute walk.

cottage had everything we could have wished for and more.

Location was perfect everything we needed was in easy reach which made for a perfect holiday.

Need to make it clear there was no back garden.

Spacious and comfortable cottage with everything provided you could possibly need.

Three spacious bedrooms & a large sitting room meant it was airy and light. Very, very clean and lots of lovely little extras too. A perfect location for us, who have a small dog, because it has a secure garden, a quiet country lane to walk him down plus it's only a few minutes to the coast, where you can walk miles along the sand dunes. Lovely cottage and location - we will certainly be coming again soon!

We enjoyed our holiday week very much .

We were made to feel very welcome . The bungalow was very warm and comfortable with plenty of room for eveyone.

Very comfy, homely and well equipped property.

We particularly enjoyed the piano.

From the property details when we booked Westcroft it appeared there were 2 bathrooms, whereas there was only 1 plus a separate toilet and wash basin

A spacious and charming bungalow that met the needs of myself and elderly parents extremely well.

With 2 large dogs as well the large living area meant we were all well served.
