Estuary View Escapes Reviews

Fantastic pitch

Great place to park up and stay. Fantastic views over the estuary and the dark night sky was great for stargazing, so peaceful and relaxing. On arrival, the owner is very informative and helpful. There are fresh water taps, a toilet emptying facility and a spotless portaloo on site, if needed. Nice walks from here too. We stayed for 2 nights and couldn't fault anything, will definitely be back 👍👍😀

The perfect spot!

We absolutely loved our stay here, the views are breath-taking, the owners were really friendly and so were the locals! I could stay here every week .. absolutely beautiful.

Spectacular!

What a site! The most amazing view and a glorious sunrise. The dog and I spent our time out on the beach, we were both in our elements. I was there on my own and the only van and felt safe and it was lovely chatting with the local dog walkers. Louise is super friendly, it felt like I was staying with friends.

Great location

A perfect location. The site was nice and quiet, with nice walks nearby.

Paradise

Fantastic location, beautiful views of the estuary and fantastic walks. Will defo be returning again and will be recommending to friends, such a lovely informal site where the owner lives in the house but leaves you to enjoy the beautiful surroundings. Thank you for sharing your corner of paradise.

Brilliant with good walking from the site

Quiet and relaxing, we were the only ones on (at the most, it only takes 5). Beautiful scenery & great for dog walking as it's on the coastal path. Louise was very welcoming & friendly. She even texted to see if we were okay in the morning as the weather had been extremely windy and wet at night. Even though the weather wasn't great, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Will be back when in the area again. Cheers xx

Lovely, quiet location with amazing views

Had a lovely stay! Louise came to greet us not long after we had arrived. She told us good areas to walk, all about the site and her plans over the next year. Can see this being a very popular site, especially over the summer months with the views. Thank you Louise for such a lovely stay!

Nice secluded location by the beach

We stayed here on our way back home after touring the lakes and what a find it was! Louise was a fantastic host and went out of her way to ensure we had everything we needed for a successful stay. The site is right on the water's edge with views to die for, a secluded beach a short walk away and we had the place to ourselves so could pick the best spot to enjoy the location. The facilities were all kept well, the only downside being no electric hook-up or a grey water dumping point, but this was not an issue for us at all. All in all, even during a wet and wild storm overnight, we had a fabulous stay and will definitely be back again.

Lovely little break

Lovely, clean site. The weather wasn't on our side when we booked but we will definitely be coming back on a sunny day as I can imagine the views to be amazing. The best portable loo I've ever seen! So clean and had little lights in for night time trips.

Fantastic stay

This was our 2nd stay here and we will be back. We love how peaceful, welcoming, beautiful views, what more do you want? We even put the van tent up this time and it is fine in the gravel, just need good pegs. My husband enjoyed fishing, which you can do straight in front of your van. The beach is just a 5 min walk away. We had some lovely days out in the villages close by, such as Bootle, Kirksanton. We visited Coniston, Muncaster Castle. If you love great views and walks and history you will love it. Proper camping experience. Louise is extremely helpful.

Fantastic, thanks both of you 👍👍

Site with brilliant views

Lovely peaceful site. Very clean and tidy. Basic, but had all the facilities you need with a motorhome. Large, quiet beach nearby which was great for the dog. Short walk into Millom along the coastal path to dog friendly pub. Owner Louise very friendly, helpful and informative about the area. Will certainly visit again soon.

Our first stayover in our van

I booked this the day before for myself and my 2 kids. We were really looking forward to our first stay away in the van. Me probably more than them, as I've overseen the conversion of a VW T28 and finally the time had come to put it into action. A swift response from Louise, who runs the site, by text message, welcomed our booking and provided the gate access code. With all the gear and no idea, I was a bit nervous and wanted to ease into this new way of life. Really didn't want a crowded site with onlookers for my own ego and also didn't want the kids thinking I was as clueless as I predicted. This place ticked the box in so many ways and more. Our first trip away was always going to be memorable, but the location added to this fully. On the edge of an estuary and with no vehicle noise, this place is a wildlife haven and was bliss. The kids walked down to the beach with the dog as I set out the awning and we got into the swing of things. We utilised the picnic bench for our meal and we enjoyed watching the variety of birds feeding on the sands and the waters edge as we witnessed a tide or two come and go. I love estuaries as there's so much going on and I awoke early to view the sunrise over the hills on the far side of the water and the tide came in once more covering over the sandbanks. It felt like I did when I did my first parachute jump an instant addiction to the thrill experienced. I've given a 4 for facilities as there is only a toilet but it was all we needed and I'm not fussed for an overnight stay. Must say for a portaloo, it was equipped well with plenty of everything including wipes and air fresheners. A brilliant little break which we will repeat to this site again in the future definitely. Louise who runs the site is on hand a minute away and I had the pleasure of speaking with her husband. They have only set up recently but are passionate about ensuring it will remain a peaceful site and amazingly enough don't want the great numbers other sites I've heard are cramming in. There's plans over winter to add a shower facility. A little gem which I feel fortunate to have found.

Last minute booking

I booked this site last minute and wasn't sure what to expect, but from the get-go communication from Louise was excellent and accommodating. On arrival, I was met by Louise who was informative and helpful. The site itself is basic but suited our needs as we like a bit of peace and no fuss. There are water outlets and a portaloo, which was probably the cleanest I have ever set foot in. There was plenty of room to site ourselves with beautiful views over the estuary and distant hills. There is a short walk to the beach which is very quiet. In the other direction, it is probably a fifteen minute walk to the town where there are plenty of shops, takeaways, bakery, coffee shop and a tesco for any essentials needed. I think that about sums it up. We enjoyed our stay, thank you.

Thanks very much for your review. Appreciate it. 👍 Louise

Lovely little site

After a last minute decision to come to the Lake District, we eventually found this site. Small, basic, clean but what an amazing location. The owner's communication was amazing and they were incredibly welcoming. We will definitely be staying here again.
