Harbour Lights Reviews

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 and a 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.

Site's response

Thank you Tony for your review. We were so happy you got your little dog back and it was a pleasrure to help with this. We are pleased you enjoyed your stay here Thank you once again. :-)

Beautiful

Very friendly people, will definitely be back - loved it.

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, fuss free stay

Lovely staff, easily upgraded to powered site at check in. Quiet and safe area, can walk to a number of pubs. Bathrooms were quite a highlight with the heated towel rails! Everything clean, stocked and in working order. Would definitely recommend.

Our stay

I'm being harsh here but the site is okay, it's in a good location but for some reason, the postcode we originally used was for a local supermarket. We eventually found the site and set up. The only problem was that the roads on site are made from a dark grey type of powdered stone which, when wet, got transferred into our motorhome and the site's shower block making them look dirty which they were not. I know it would be very expensive but tarmac roads and pitches would easily move it up to nearly a 5 star rating.

Site's response

Thank you for your review and points raised. Regarding the postcode, we were allocated this by Royal Mail and it has been updated via google maps and is correct on the royal mail site and also google maps, but there has been an issue with Apple Maps which has caused problems. We are looking at tarmacking for the road through the site and hope this will be done in the not too distant future. We are constantly trying to improve the site and obviously this is ongoing. We appreciate constructive criticism so thank you for your time and we hope you will come back

Brilliant place!

We had the best time here, sad to be leaving today. We will definitely be returning, facilities are great! Very clean and friendly site. All you need is there.

Pleasant stay despite storm Babette

Nice site well kept, friendly staff and great ice cream to boot. Many thanks.

Wet, windy and remote

The site was quite remote with very little in the way of local amenities. The only local take away is the chippy, which is a short walk away. Apart from the seafront, any sightseeing is a bit of a drive away. The site is full of potholes and some pitches flooded overnight, had to navigate them going to the loo overnight. Felt they needed to fill the holes and improve drainage.

Disappointed

The site is run very well. Unfortunately we were there in a very wet weather spell. This resulted in large puddles. Of course you can't predict the rain but the potholes on site could be attended to. The facilities looked good. The staff were very helpful and friendly, it just didn't meet our expectations. The access road, which isn't the responsibility of the site, was so full of deep potholes. It's all about first impressions. We just didn't enjoy our stay.

Great for dogs

As a couple with more than 2 dogs, this was a great site. Lovely walks, nice clean facilities and a good size pitch. Lovely beach and a nice walk around the nature reserve with a bar that was happy to allow dogs.
