From this tranquil retreat, it is simple to go to the West Coast attractions, the Lakes, the Lake District, and the 1000-foot-high fell of Black Combe. Along with a variety of cafes and taverns, the village has a wide selection of lodging options.

We loved the big TV and space in the lounge area for us all to sit in comfort. The kitchen is well equipped with everything we needed. Haverigg and the local area is beautiful and we had some lovely early morning walks and it benefits from being less touristy than some parts of the Lake District. We visited Millom for an evening out and would recommend visiting Broughton-in-Furness and The Blacksmiths Arms in Broughton Mills.

Comfy sofas and huge tv in the lounge. Little courtyard for drinks outside. Easy parking right outside the cottage. Couldnât fault it.

2 mins from the beach for the dog to run around and handy local shop. Good base for exploring the Lakes (we spent a lovely day in Coniston). The kitchen was well equipped, the beds comfortable, the welcome gift appreciated and the owner very helpful. Only suggested additions would be a hairdryer and some champagne glasses.
