Beachside Cottage Idyllic Situation, Stunning Views Over Morecambe Bay & Lakes.

Spacious property in a stunning location! the cottage has a cosy lounge with woodburner and large sunroom looking out over bay. 2 double beds (1 with en suite) and 1 single, lounge with smart TV, WiFi and wood burner, fully equipped kitchen, 2nd shower room with shower cubicle, hand basin and WC, large conservatory with amazing views out over Morecambe Bay, lobby with wash machine, night storage heaters and convector heaters. Fabulous at all times of the year!
Extensive private enclosed grounds with seating areas, garden furniture and bird viewing hide. Also elevated seating area with amazing views over the bay and the hills behind. It would be hard to find a more tranquil, beautiful location. The accommodation is all on one level tho there are 4 steps (with handrail) down from the parking area.
Region:
The property is secluded but only a 5 min walk from the village of Baycliff which has 2 pubs serving food.; 2 miles from the Manjushri Buddhist Centre and 4 miles from the lively market town of Ulverston with its many festivals - including Lantern, Flag, Music and Dickensian - and excellent shops - independent ones plus the wonderful Booth's supermarket, M&S Food outlet and large Aldi. There is the fascinating Laurel & Hardy museum, a twice weekly street market, Christmas Market alongside the Dickensian festival and a whole programme of festivals throughout the year, including several music festivals, walking and cycling festivals, print makers festival. Ulverston Leisure Centre is on the road from the cottage.
The famous Roy's Ices can be found on the road into Ulverston - try flavours you've never heard of before! You can also walk here (about 30mins) along the beach from the cottage.
Nearby Barrow in Furness has much of interest including the Dock Museum for a rainy day! Furness Abbey is a stunning example of a Cistercian Abbey - and the cafe is great!
Take a ferry over to Piel Island and explore the wonderful (free) National Trust Castle before refreshing yourselves at the pub on the island.
Other nearby attractions include the South Lakes Wildlife Park and Brockholes Outdoor Adventure Park.
There are plenty of great walks and bike rides from the property itself (including Birkrigg Common with its stone circle.)
And all this before you even begin to venture into the Lake District proper!

Loved by bird watchers, dog owners, walkers, families and those seeking peace and quiet.
All fuel, electric, bed linen and towels provided. extensive patio paved areas with garden furniture provided, enclosed grounds. Travel cot, high chair available. Well behaved dogs welcomed. Plenty of private, off road space for parking. NB: the property is reached down 4 steps down from the parking area - there is a handrail but the cottage itself is all on one level.
Favourable rates available - please enquire and discounted rates for whole weeks.
Many of our guests are returnees, several come every year - this also explains why we have less reviews than we'd like as reviews are only permitted for bookings through HomeAway.

Bring your wellies if you want to walk out across the sands and don’t want to get wet feet!

Property is in a beautiful location but needs some serious improvement.
Property is in an excellent location but work needs doing inside & outside of the house, we had a few issues which I communicated to the owner but thought it over priced for the conditions on saying that it could be made lovely & be a little gem.

Beautiful peaceful haven
We loved our stay at this property. It's a ground floor cottage fronting onto Morecambe bay and it is super peaceful, the views are amazing as the sea comes in and out, and the bird-watching opps are brilliant. Sparrow hawk swept through the garden, oyster catchers, plovers and others were in the bay. The cottage is lovely at a basic level so don't expect great luxury. That suited us fine. The sunroom looking onto the bay was so relaxing. Walks along the beach are a bit tricky although the owners say to walk out across the sands. We weren't so sure about this. There is access to other treats in the vicinity though so all fine. Garden and beach access for our dog was secure so brilliant to be able to relax as he explored.

Stunning location
Peace..tranquillity..relaxation what more do you want from a holiday....this place has it. Totally enclosed huge garden space which my dog loved. It was also a total suntrap which i loved. Windows open listening to waves on the shore...idyllic. I adore cows so to have them in the field behind & greeting us each morning was a total bonus.... Walking to Bardsea or other way to Aldingham in mornings with dog to eatch the sunrise...was just bliss. Couple of issues which lovely owner Rose dealt with quickly & efficiently & was lovely.

Heavenly Holiday
Just come back from a wonderful restful holiday at Maskel Beach Cottage. Was very clean and cosy, all very lovely and comfy. Fantastic views and cottage has everything you need. Rose was a wonderful host and provided us with a welcome bottle and all the logs we wanted. Everyone enjoyed the beach being right next to us and so peaceful and quiet, dogs absolutely loved it and have sulked ever since we got back. Would definitely recommend and we will be back. Thank you very much Rose and Bob for sharing your home.

Great break!
We had a great week here. The property had enough space for the four of us with plenty of room to sit in the conservatory and enjoy the view. The location was amazing, you are literally right on the beach. Ulverston is only a short drive away for provisions or a meal out. Really sad to leave as it was a wonderfully relaxing place to be.

Xmas break
Obtaining entry to the cottage was easy, cleaning was very very poor we had to hoover & mop as soon as we got there it already smelt of wet dogs even though we had dogs we dried them off before letting them in the cottage. Bedding felt damp and had a musky smell like it had not been aired or had windows open to let the air flow through. More security lights needed you can’t see when coming back in the dark.Was great location perfect for the dogs, great little pub the farmers nearby. As a family there for Christmas we made the most of it. Property in need of some TLC & updating.
