The Old Boathouse Lodge, Ulverston and Lakeland Peninsula

The Old Boathouse Lodge sits at the southern tip of Walney Island in Cumbria within the South Walney Nature Reserve. This split-level property sleeps up to eight guests across two separate living spaces. Perfect for multi-generational groups who want both togetherness and privacy. The main house and The Hide annexe mean everyone gets their own space.

The reserve surrounds you with wildlife. Grey seals swim past at high tide. Bird species fill the skies. Windswept dunes stretch in every direction. Sunrises and sunsets paint the panoramic sea views.

The main cottage has three bedrooms downstairs. The master features a king-sized bed with luxury en-suite and double shower. The White Room offers another king-size bed. The Red Room has zip-link twins that convert to a king-size double. A family bathroom includes a large shower over bath. Upstairs holds the open-plan kitchen and living area with log burner. The Hide provides ground-floor living with a king-sized bedroom, walk-in shower en-suite and separate kitchen.
