“The Hide is one of the best ...”

The Hide is one of the best properties we've ever stayed in. Clean, comfortable, very well equipped and in a superb location. Martin and Debby are the perfect hosts. We don't normally do return visits - too many places and too little time - but we might make an exception for this. Thanks, Steve and Sharon.

“This holiday was the best holiday ...”

This holiday was the best holiday we have had for a number of years. The hosts ,Martin and Debby,were lovely people,very welcoming and helpful. The Hide was perfect for us and we loved the peace and quiet and watching the various animals who came to visit and have a look at us. Watching the seals was amazing. The private garden was lovely ,perfect place for having a coffee and reading. All in all we would recommend The Hide and hopefully we will return there ourselves.

“The hide was a lovely place to ...”

The hide was a lovely place to stay, comfortable, modern and one of ( probably the best ) equipped cottages we’ve had the pleasure to stay in. We found the owners to be very friendly and helpful. It is in a lovely tranquil quiet spot. We took our two young grandkids and found plenty of things to do in the area to keep them occupied for the week.

“Lovely clean and comfortable ...”

Lovely clean and comfortable cottage. Enjoyed the peace and quiet and the natural surroundings. Our hosts were very friendly and helpful. Nature reserve practically on the doorstep. Enjoyed the walking, the variety of birds and seeing the seals at rest on the beach.

“Had a wonderful week staying at The ...”

Had a wonderful week staying at The Hide on Walney Island. At hidden gem. Everything you see in the advert for this rental is as expected but in reality it is so much more. Beautifully presented, relaxing and if it’s solitude you are looking for, look no further. The owner Martin and Debby couldn’t be more accommodating and nothing was too much trouble. Please for your well being, don’t pass over this property, you need to be there to experience it.

- Ms Eadie, April 2018
“The accommodation was extremely ...”

The accommodation was extremely comfortable and the host Martin was helpful and attentive. The welcome box was a lovely surprise and of a very high standard allowing us to kick back and relax very quickly. The location is a gem. Beautiful, secluded, full of wildlife (the seals a particular highlight!) and oodles of peace and quiet. A fantastic retreat from the daily grind. We hope we have the opportunity to return.

- Mrs Magee, April 2018
“This place is absolutely fantastic ...”

This place is absolutely fantastic and a great credit to the owners. Solitude is guaranteed due to its location and the facilities in the cottage are first rate. It's difficult if not impossible to find something to complain about. Little touches were everywhere from a little welcome package of wine and biscuits to Martin the owner bringing round a small orchid plant to brighten up the lounge. We adored everything and the owner is very attentive to all your needs. The Hide is absolutely and fully equipped with high quality white goods extra sheets and blankets, towels,soaps and cleaning products everything you need for your holiday to run well. The quality of the whole building has been well thought through from the underfloor heating to the fabulous walk in shower with drencher shower head and the small rinsing hand set. Sliding patio doors to let the outside in and a beautiful court yard garden and summer house to the rear are well protected from the elements. This is a fabulous place to unwind and get away from the bustling world and let nature wash her calming hand over you. We cannot recommend The Hide highly enough we will return. Chris and Helen.

We really enjoyed our weekend break away, very lovely cottage and beautiful location. Would defiantly recommend and will be booking here again. Many thanks for a lovely weekend.

“The location is stunning! Even in ...”

The location is stunning! Even in Grey January. Myself & my partner picked this cottage to get away for new year after a crazy December at work, we really wanted to get away from civilisation for a while. My 12 year old daughter said she didn't want to go so I thought it the perfect place for 2. The morning we set off my daughter announced she was coming too, I was worried we wouldn't all fit but it was perfect she slept on the sofa bed & we had the bedroom. The cottage is beautiful, every little detail has been thought of, We managed to cook a variety of meals & the kitchen is fully stocked with pans utensils ect. We didn't plan on leaving other than to walk on the island & we didn't have to! Such fantastic hosts too! Nothing was too much trouble. I cant recommend this property enough! Sara, Steve & Macey.

“Wow! What an awesome place. It's ...”

Wow! What an awesome place. It's like staying in 5* luxury in an idyllic and remote location. If you are looking for a place to retreat away from the world for a while at the same time as being surrounded by nature and history this is it! Looking forward to visiting again.

The property

This detached cottage is beautifully presented with luxury features; nestled away on the very southern end of Walney Island.

Perfect for couples or friends, there is much to embrace with this retreat offering nothing less than attention to detail through and through.

The open plan sitting room is light and airy, home to ocean coloured sofas, and a lovely, contemporary dining table where you can enjoy those home cooked meals with lovely views over the dunes through the full glass bi-fold doors before relaxing in front of the TV.

One sofa pulls out to a bed, comfy enough for the kids if you can’t get someone to look after them whilst you slope off to your seaside hideaway.

The kitchen boasts white units, and colourful appliances that complement the layout well.

Further round, a double bedroom is a relaxing and soothing place to sleep, accessorized with cushions and pretty lamps that rest by the window.

A classic vanity unit ties the room together well.

Behind this, a walk-in, rainfall shower is tucked into the formation for a lovely finish.

The East facing door looks across to the start of Walney channel and some beautiful sunrises you can watch whilst frothing the milk for the Nespresso coffee maker.

This door opens to the walled garden, which holds a decked area, a lawn and a patio/children's play area.

German beach baskets give you comfy shelter from the cool sea breeze.

The bi-fold doors on the west side open out to the dunes and stunning sunsets.

A water feature creates the essence of calmness, and the summer house is a perfect change of scenery for an afternoon escape.

That's not all; look up and the working lighthouse is right ahead of you.

The hide is wired for sound with Sonos in the main room, the bedroom and in the summer house.

You can walk around the paths of the reserve and you will be blown away by the views and the sheer wild beauty of the place.

40 metres and you are on the top of the sand banks by the side of the beach with the sea spray in your face.

Search for Walney Lighthouse and you will see endless photographs of this much loved local landmark.

If you can tear yourself away from the retreat, Walney Island holds two nature reserves, miles of sandy beaches and some great pubs for food and beer, including the local microbrewery.

With both Barrow and Dalton-in-Furness nearby, along with the market town of Ulverston, this holiday adventure is not to be missed. Note: Link to wildlife reserve - http://www.cumbriawildlifetrust.org.uk/reserves/south-walney
