Description

Barrow-in-Furness 5.4 miles.

Driftwood Studio is a well-positioned holiday home nestled in the small hamlet of Goadsbarrow near Roose.

This contemporary abode has been designed to an excellent standard, with far-reaching mountain views and near the Peak of Old Man of Coniston.

Inside you will find an open-plan living space, with the benefit of a sofa bed and underfloor heating.

The well-equipped kitchen and dining area is a great place to begin your day with a hearty breakfast.

Bring your favourite bottle from the wine cooler to the sitting area for a restful evening, while the ground-floor shower wet room is a sleek space to wash the day away.

The double bedroom is located via a spiral staircase, and natural light falls in through the collection of roof light windows.

Outside, there is a gated seating area and off-road parking for one car.

Alongside coastal walks, the village of Roose is just a short journey away from the essential amenities for your self-catering stay.

Take a trip down to Earnse Bay, where the sandy and shingle shore meets breath-taking sunsets and a 1.4-mile coastal route perfect for walking or cycling.

Along the way, you might spot kite surfers dancing across the waves, or join in yourself!

This beautiful stretch of coastline is full of life all year round.

In spring, colourful wildflowers bloom and Eider Ducks arrive to nest nearby.

Summer brings rare seaside plants like the Walney Geranium, found nowhere else in the world.

As autumn sets in, the surrounding woodlands burst into colour and migrating birds pass through, adding to the spectacle.

Keep an eye out for Grey Seals lounging on the southern tip of Walney, and enjoy the sights and sounds of coastal wildlife like Oystercatchers, Shelducks, and even the elusive Natterjack Toad.

Hop aboard the Piel Ferry from Roa Island and discover the charm of Piel Island, a hidden treasure off the South Cumbrian coast, visitors can enjoy a drink at The Ship Inn, where the landlord is crowned the “King of Piel” in a quirky local tradition.

Explore the ruins of a 14th-century castle, wander the pebble beach, and take in sweeping views across the Irish Sea to distant windfarms and Lakeland peaks.

Wildlife lovers can join Seal and birdwatching trips aboard the Nomad, a specialised boat that cruises past the Grey Seal colony and coastal bird habitats at South Walney.

Species like oystercatchers and shelducks are often spotted, all viewed respectfully under the Marine and Coastal Wildlife Code, as evening falls, admire the brilliant night sky, free from city lights and perfect for stargazing.

Head to Barrow-in-Furness to learn local history at The Dock Museum or bring your clubs to test your swing at Ulverston Golf Club, with Bardsea nearby to stop for lunch.

The ancient market town of Ulverston is built around a cobbled main street and boasts a fine selection of independent shops, cafés and pubs with open fires and real ales.

Ulverston is also well-known as a festival town, with events ranging from walking to art and music festivals throughout the summer, and the historic Laurel & Hardy Museum.

A destination not to be missed, you'll have the Cumbrian coast and Lake District National Park within easy reach with a stay at Driftwood Studio.

Note: This property can be booked with Ref. 975644, together sleeping up to 8 guests.

A Lovely Property In An Idyllic Location We Got To Explore The Local Area Along With Some Areas Further Afield New To Us A Lovely Holiday

Exactly as described.

Very clean and well maintained. It is compact. Care needs to be taken climbing the spiral stairs and moving around the bedroom (banged heads just a couple of times!). Pretty well everything you need, except for a few kitchen cleaning essentials. No problem with Internet/tv. Parking is a little awkward but got used to it and, at least, it's off road. One point to note is that, although it's a narrow country lane, it's a well-used route to the next villages and farms and so vehicles (inc heavy farm vehicles) pass frequently. Access to the small garden is by coming out of the cottage and around to the rear gate. So if you've a dog, just be aware. The garden is nice and quiet and enclosed. All in all, a nice break in a nice location for exploring around Barrow.

Accomodation was lovely.

Everything was as described. Back garden is very private and a good sun trap. Beach is across the road. Definitely recommend.
