  • "We have stayed here previously, its still as lovely as it was 7 years ago, would recommend."

    Reviewed by Helen5.0★Feb 2026

  • "We really enjoyed our stay at Cockle Bay Cottage, it was spotlessly clean and very well-equipped, I didn't want for anything in the kitchen in terms of utensils or pots and pans, which is not always the case for other cottages we have stayed in previously."

    We enjoyed all the nice touches throughout the property on terms of decor, and ornaments, which made it feel like home for our Christmas stay. Arriving to find milk in the fridge and even some Christmas puddings as a welcome was a lovely touch too. It was a nice relaxing break for both of us, and Barley the dog. Its the second time we have stayed in the village over Christmas and would definitely stay here again.

    We are pleased you had a nice Christmas in our cottage and you felt at home. Have a happy new year and visit us again. Daniela & Richard Property Owner

  • "We enjoyed a pleasant comfortable week (11 to 18 October 2025) in this cottage."

    It has a homely feel to it with small artefacts everywhere It is well equipped for those, like us, who want to cook. Quietly located in Heysham village In sunny weather the two terraces in the garden would be delightful

    Thank you and please come again in summer. Thank you for leaving everything so tidy , Daniela Property Owner

  • "Ideally placed for walking the seafront and half moon bay."

    Cottage is well set out but kitchen tools need replacing/adding to. We only really use it as a base to sleep and eat breakfast.

  • "We loved the Cockle Bay Cottage, beautiful to be in a little village, so quiet, and with beautiful views of the bay, and within walking distance to the beach, which was great for walking the dog, close to Morecambe, Lancaster and the Lakes."

    Unfortunately the only down side was for the 1st 10 days of our holiday we had heavy rain and found it difficult to dry clothes, coats etc. We would definitely love to stay again.

    We are glad you loved our cottage and surrounding. If we could we would also make the weather perfect. Property Owner

    Beautifully furnished and decorated. Very well equipped even down to dog bowls, dog towel and throws for the furniture. Lovely spot for walking the bay. Would definitely recommend this for anybody wanting to visit the area. We would go back again

    Reviewed by Christine5.0★Sep 2024

  • "We really enjoyed our stay, although the neighbours were extremely difficult."

    When we arrived we pulled into the bay by the property to unload our belongings, a young woman from the house in front of the bay immediately came out and shouted at us, she also insulted me when I told her we were only unpacking our stuff, we didn’t plan on parking there. The lady at the back said there’s been a lot of bother from them; however they didn’t bother us again. Then my husband and I were in the kitchen with the door open at the back when a large dog came bounding through the door and tried to attack me, my husband threw water on it and was able to intimidate the dog so that it moved and we managed to barricade ourselves behind the back door until finally my husband closed the door. I was quite shaken by the experience. My husband shouted through the window for the neighbour at the end to get his dog- he didn’t and it continued to bark aggressively at us from behind the door; bearing its teeth and ready to attack when we tried to open/close the door window to shout to the man. He was actually hiding behind his gate as we could see him ducking behind the door. I’m concerned that if I had have been a child or my new 12 week old puppy- this would have been a sad story. I loved the cottage though, so beautiful, comfortable and clean. I would say that I wouldn’t take children or elderly people, just in case. Unless the problem is resolved but how could you resolve this? I would not allow this to stop you renting this property- it really is that good, just be careful about the parking and be careful in the shared backyard where there’s no gate between you and the end neighbours with the dog. (The neighbour has a gate but he’d obviously opened it to let his dog out). Ok, so the garden is absolutely gorgeous, very quirky set up on two/three levels. Lovely lady lives next door feeds the seagulls everyday, be careful there’s loads of them that flock there- not a problem for us as we weren’t home in the morning. BBQ area is pleasantly arranged and plenty of seating and cushions. The lights didn’t work when we were there, but we weren’t in the garden late anyway. Overall I would stay here again because it felt very homely, but I’d be extremely careful out the back door in the communal yard part. We never saw the dog before or after it attacked us. There is a gate on the main garden and it’s one step from the back door. Just be careful as you always are in public areas. And don’t speak to the house on the left of the property, very rude. The heating was perfect, bedding ok, decor and condition of the place was just right and spotlessly clean. In a near perfect location. Two large Terraces that look across the bay- stunning. Thanks again.

    We have only recently taken ownership of this cottage and are aware of these issues and are sorting them expeditiously. We are really sorry you had this experience with the neighbours. The parking space next door is private but there is plenty of free parking in the side streets. We will rectify the situation with the other neighbour’s dog who should not have been let out into our property. We are sorry for the distress this caused. We thank you for your positive comments about our lovely cottage and hope you will visit us again. Property Owner

The property

Cockle Bay Cottage is an idyllic abode situated within the bustling village of Heysham on the edge of the dramatic Morecambe Bay.

This heart-warming retreat comes within close reach of the glorious coastline, a rolling countryside and a magnitude of historical landmarks to explore during your week-long break to Lancashire with your loved one.

The interior comes with carefully selected furnishings and quality fixtures to ensure a welcoming base to return to each evening after an action-packed afternoon.

Be welcomed into the kitchen, where you can look forward to rustling up delicious home-cooked meals before joining your partner at the dining table to plan the day's ahead whilst tucking into your meal.

This space has a warming gas fire which offers comfort during those chilly winter evenings whilst you're curled up on the sofa and tuned into the TV.

As the evening draws to a close, retire to the night’s embrace within the mezzanine-style bedroom, where you will find a well-presented king-size double bedroom and a wall-mounted TV.

During a balmy afternoon, spend a moment or two within the garden which is situated over two levels, with the upper level boasting breath-taking sea views to admire.

If you don’t feel like cooking one evening, a short walk will bring you to a choice of pubs, restaurants and takeaways to cater to all tastes, as well as a number of shops for picking up the essentials.

Whilst here, venture to the port where you can hop onto a ferry and spend a day at the Isle of Man, or a short car journey will bring you to the city of Lancaster where you will find a larger selection of amenities, the superb Williamson Park and a number of historical landmarks to discover.

Heysham has a local beach, and is close to the historic city of Lancaster, where you will find a castle, shops, and pubs.

For those feeling adventurous, head slightly further afield to spend time upon the Forest of Bowland AONB, where you will find a magnitude of opportunities for walking and cycling amidst a landscape of moorland.

The property is also within reach of the Lake District National Park.

Cockle Bay Cottage is a wonderful retreat for exploring this part of England with your loved one.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £200.
