Self-Catering Accommodations in St Bees

Funky, clean and comfortable.

Everything about my stay has been exceptional. The property is wonderful, the hosts providing a real home-from-home experience; the attention to detail, cleanliness, quality of absolutely everything, comfort, communication and information are all outstanding, with everything a visitor could possibly need provided. And then there's the welcome hamper, which deserves a special mention of its own: Not only a lovely touch, it was amazing! And a godsend for me, since the days I stayed were also the days the village food-serving pub is shut, and not knowing the area, I did not feel confident to drive into Whitehaven looking for provisions. So, except for a sandwich at the Beech Road Bakehouse (St. Bees, and well worth a visit), which I walked to, I lived entirely on the contents of the hamper and a few nibbles I took with me from home, not by intention but it was reassuring to know there was sustenance at 'home' if I didn't come across anywhere to stop at while out walking, which, as it happened, I didn't. Talking of walking, while some of the walking I did was along narrow lanes, the traffic wasn't heavy and the drivers were careful and courteous; I felt safe. And when I wasn't sure where I was going, the people I asked went out of their way to help me, from looking things up on their phones, giving me directions, suggesting buses (note, there isn't a bus that runs through the village) and taxis, warning me of landslip paths; honestly, the local people couldn't have been kinder, which as a female solo traveller means so much. But back to the property and Sandwith: If you're looking for a quiet base in a pretty village midway between Whitehaven and St. Bees (both within walking distance; around 2 to 3 miles), and not far from Ennerdale, Wastwater and Muncaster, then you can't go wrong here, in this beautifully appointed, cosy apartment. Highly recommended.
