Hedgehog Meadows is a single-storey wooden lodge standing behind the owners' home, with direct views across its paddock toward the fells. Everything happens on the ground floor: an open-plan living space with a woodburner and French doors opening onto a patio, a kitchen with a full cooker and washing machine, two bedrooms (one with bunks, one with a double), and a shower room. A cot and highchair are available. Electricity, bed linen and towels are included.
The property sits between the Solway Coast—an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty—and the Lake District, making it useful for exploring either. Wigton itself is roughly 25 minutes' drive from Keswick and Cockermouth. The garden is large and lawned with patio furniture and a barbecue; there is parking for two cars on site and a bike store. One dog stays free. Smoking is not permitted. A bus route runs opposite the driveway if you arrive without a car.

The following review was posted in 2022. However, our recent visit in May of this year, 2023, only serves to echo that 2022 review. We have already booked to visit again in Sept.. Comfort, peace and quiet, overlooked only by cattle, sheep, goats and horses in the adjoining fields. A lovely warming welcome with tea/coffee/toast/soft drinks waiting to be enjoyed. Hosts were very friendly and lovely people to talk with and to. Ollie, the Bichon thug, enjoyed stretching his legs in the paddock, and lying under the bunks at night. Our third time and most definitely will be back next year. Plenty to see and do, both around and about and if you stay in, games/tv/DVDs/stereo/BBQ to enjoy. Always top marks.

Fantastic stay at hedgehog meadows. The cottage is lovely. Really well equipped, comfy and cosy. It's an ideal spot for being close to so many great places to visit. Fantastic big garden, ideal for the kids and the dogs. Super helpful and friendly host. Wish we could stay longer, will definitely be back!

Got back from our stay at hedgehog meadows yesterday and we already want to go back! The cottage was amazing. There was everything we needed. Nice big tv in the living room with DVD player and also another one in the bedroom. There are loads of DVDs, tourist books and leaflets and indoor and outdoor games for you to enjoy. There was so much to look at inside and its very well looked after. We were amazed as it's loads better than the pictures! There is a nice big garden as well with bbq and firepit. Neighbours are sheep, horses and goats. The owners were very nice and came to check on us on our last night. The cottage is very quiet. It's also in a great location. Lots to do nearby. Easy access to lake district and Scotland. We had a great day exploring Dumfries and Galloway. Would highly recommend this cottage and it's defo one we will stay in again! Could quite easily live there! Couldnt fault it at all!
