Harbour Lights Reviews

Gorgeous and spotless

Such a little haven of loveliness. Site is in a gorgeous, quiet place with stunning views and a lovely little beach just across the road. Dainty café with luscious hot drinks and tasty cakes, biscuits and ice cream with really friendly staff. Showers were perfect, will be back. Thank you for a lovely weekend.

Great site

First time camping. This site had lovely, clean facilities and an ice cream café/shop. Beautiful views and close to the beach. Will be returning in the future for sure 🙂

Perfect break away

We stayed for three nights and wished we had booked for longer. Lovely site, friendly, helpful staff, clean facilities and just next to the beach, perfect!

Lovely campsite with great views and facilities

Upon arrival we were greeted with warmth and lots of useful information about the surrounding area as well as the facilities on site. We felt welcome and relaxed immediately. The campsite has gorgeous views, so we struggled for choice of where to pitch but were pleased at the options and the ease of access to facilities from wherever we pitched, as well as the high standard of grass to pitch and roads to drive on. It was great to see them being maintained from the moment we arrived too. The toilet and shower facilities were finished to an excellent standard with plenty of cubicles and room inside, the warm shower and heated radiator was just bliss! The fresh water taps located all around the site were great for cooking and drinking. The beach being just over the hill was excellent, and the Ski Bar just round the corner was such a bonus, with lovely staff, views and drinks also. The local village street was within easy walking distance, we were just a bit disappointed to realise the chippy was closed on the days we stayed but we ended up getting a take away delivered (info posted on the Reception bulletin board!). Lastly we could not have been more excited at the ice cream shop on site. The ice cream is hand churned with lots of choices (recommend the strawberry!) and the staff were just lovely too. We were really sad to leave after only one night so would definitely try to come down from Scotland to stay again and have already recommended it to friends & family.

Excellent short stay

Lovely short stay at Harbour Lights, with extras like ski bar, Aqua Park and beach so close by. Great pitch and facilities. Ice cream was delicious on site. Definitely will return again.

Absolutely fabulous

We enjoyed our stay that much we booked an extra night. They really couldn’t have been any more welcoming, dog friendly and locals were lovely. Really quirky bar 2 mins away and great beach walk. All facilities were clean and easy accessible. We will most definitely been back 👍🤗

Lovely site

Lovely site, everything you need. Could do with a play area for kids, but love the site.

Stunning site

Loved this site. The lady at reception was friendly and showed us to our pitch, just opposite the homemade ice cream parlour. The showers and toilets were combined which was a great idea. Hot water and a towel rail. Very clean. Close to a local restaurant, pubs and a local shop, also a fish and chip shop. Great dog walking on the area. We came across the owners while out walking who introduced us to their pet sleep who they rescued. I'd definitely recommend this place and would be going back.

Nice friendly site with up to date showers

Ideal site if you have dogs, also if you enjoy going for walks. Small shop within walking distance of site for basic items, good showers and toilets. The ski bar is ok but felt it was a bit expensive.

Good location

The busiest park on our tour of the North West, but for the one night, it had everything we needed!

1 night stay

Owner is very friendly and went out of her way to get details of the nearest chip shop for us that was open. Great walks nearby.

Week before Easter

On arrival, the staff in reception were absolutely brilliant, explaining where all the facilities were, which were very clean and well kept! The problem I had was I didn't think there is a lot to do unless you get in the car as you can only walk the harbour so many times! Not the site's fault but it rained on and off and the site became waterlogged very quickly, with an inch of water inside the awning making for a very dirty caravan - especially with the dogs!

Great site

Ignore negative reviews, the lady on reception is a star - so helpful. Toilet/shower rooms cleaned twice a day, lovely walk into Millom then back by bay to site via Ski bar, Great site, even in February.

Nice but too many potholes

The only downside to this park is the amount of large potholes that look like they have been like there a while. It made it very difficult for driving in and walking around. Plus when you have guests staying, I think you should have the shop open selling a few essentials. The staff were very helpful.

Just want to say a huge thank you

I bought this stay for my son's 18th birthday. Prior to the visit, I phoned to see if there was anything they could do (banner or balloon) in his pod to mark the occasion. There was a balloon waiting in his pod at no additional cost to me, which I was so grateful for. When my son arrived, there was a slight issue and when he spoke to the staff, they upgraded him to one of their best pods. All free of charge. He's had a great stay and the effort the staff went to was really great. I will defo be recommending this place to others and telling them how they went above and beyond for my son on his landmark birthday.

Lovely site

Lovely site - shame about the weather! Very friendly site, with excellent facilities that were kept clean. February weather in the western lakes is not ideal, but the dogs were happy with the beaches. Will look to return when (if?) the sun makes an appearance.

Great location

We stayed with our border collie dog, there were really good walks for her from site and a lovely beach at Haverigg. The weekend was really good, however the small coffee/ice cream shop was closed on Monday and the Ski Club next door only opened at 12.00pm and closed at 5.00pm. In the evening, you either had to walk to Haverigg to go to the pub, or stay in and watch TV etc, as we have a motorhome and we rarely leave the site once we've pitched up. We love to have breakfast out, so for this reason have marked down what would otherwise have been an almost perfect site for us. I've put 4 stars for standard of service, as the lady who checked us in was lovely but we never saw anyone else. I did go to reception a couple of times but it was closed with only an emergency phone number on the door. As it was out of season, it was perfectly reasonable, but not when you compare it with other sites. We felt it was also, at just over £30 per night, a little expensive for the winter season. But saying that, we would definitely stay again.

Very well kept with good facilities

Myself, my partner and my puppy had a lovely weekend. The site was very well kept with good facilities. We will go to Harbour Lights again, maybe when the weather warms up!

First away days of the year

Lovely clean site. Very nice people looking after the site, very helpful, made all the difference to our short stay. Thank you.

Great place

We had a great stay. The only downside was the water on the footpaths around the campsite, it was very soggy and muddy.

Rainy night for New Year

As the weather was very wet and windy, we didn't venture too far, but did manage a walk around the nature reserve to Mollom which was good. The site has very clean toilets and showers, which are heated and have nice hot water. Pitches are gravel with EHU. Some areas were flooded due to the rain, so it's unfair to comment on that.

New Years Eve away

Great place, warm welcome. Lovely facilities and individual rooms include a shower, toilet and sink. All very clean and each have central heating to put your towel on! Good location for walks along the beach. Bars close by and shop.

Excellent

Absolutely spot on. Clean, very friendly, great location and lovely staff. Have already booked to return. 5 stars from me.

Site's response

Thank you for your review. See you soon :-)

Great stay

Had a very nice break at Harbour Lights, the facilities were immaculate and the staff very friendly and helpful. They were above and beyond (along with local population) in helping to reunite me with my dog who went missing in action one evening… The site is well placed for coastal walks and for venturing further inland to visit the Lakes etc.
