About the location
One of the property's unique selling points is its proximity to the Kirkby-in-Furness railway station, just a five-minute walk away. This station sits on the incredibly scenic Cumbrian Coast Line, which hugs the Irish Sea. Guests can hop on a train for a stress-free day trip to Ravenglass, where they can transfer to the famous "Laal Ratty" miniature steam railway into Eskdale, or head south towards the history of Barrow-in-Furness. It is an ideal spot for those who prefer to leave the car behind and explore the coast by rail.
For local amenities, guests are exceptionally well catered for. Just around the corner is Pam’s Café, a local favourite offering fresh paninis, homemade cakes, and excellent coffee—perfect for a breakfast treat or lunch. For evening meals and traditional ales, there are two welcoming pubs within walking distance: The Ship Inn and The Commercial. Both offer a slice of local life and are perfect for unwinding after a day on the fells or the coast.
