Seacote Gardens

Seacote Gardens works well for families, small groups or couples wanting space by the sea. This three-bedroom semi-detached house sleeps six across a king bed, a double and bunks, with two bathrooms and a separate toilet. Downstairs you have an open-plan living space with Smart TV and French doors onto the garden; the kitchen is fully equipped for cooking, with an oven, hob, dishwasher and washing machine. Essentials like electricity, bed linen, towels and wifi are included, and you get the whole place to yourselves.

The enclosed garden has a sitting area and BBQ for outdoor meals, and there's parking for two cars with additional space on the road. Saint Bees is quiet and compact, with a children's play area and beach café within walking distance. One dog is welcome. The location suits walkers—the coastal path and RSPB reserve are close by, and this is where the Wainwright Coast to Coast Walk begins. The golf club is nearby, and a dog-friendly restaurant is only a short walk away if cooking doesn't appeal. On clear days you can see the Isle of Man from here. No smoking indoors.

The Lake District and Whitehaven are within easy reach, and attractions like Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway and Muncaster Castle make good day trips with children. Check-in is after 15:30 and checkout before 10:00.
