Sunlight - Self-catering house in Cumbria
Sandside, LA7 7HP, Cumbria
England,
Regno Unito
This Victorian house has an enviable position in the quiet southern lakes overlooking Coniston Old Man and the Langdales but also the estuary for oodles of wading and migratory birds, including rare osprey. The sitting room is large and light with handsome panelling, plenty of seating and a wood-burner. There's another with a library of DVDs, so you shan't feel cramped.
The Aga-warmed kitchen is easy to cook in (there’s another oven and hob too) with all the kit you need. You'll also find some local treats to get you started, but there's a good little community shop in the village for stocking up. Bedrooms have those views and a refined feel.
Arnside is a 5-minute drive but you can walk along an old railway track by the shore, pick up fish and chips and walk back while the sun sets. Summer evenings will be sublime: spot red squirrels in the little wood, eat in the sunken garden, wait for stars in the clear skies. The peace is palpable.

Local points of interest from Julie Evans:
Punti d'interesse locali da
Julie Evans:
- Did you know that the pair of ospreys who nest just over the water from us, pretty much always arrive within 24 hours of each other at the start of their breeding season? Amazing! Come and watch them fish from the house or visit the hide at Foulshaw Moss.
- Look for fairies in the woods and take the Fairy Steps Challenge! Climb the narrow steps in the limestone without touching the sides and your wish will be granted. Carry on walking for a super lunch at the Wheatsheaf pub in the local village of Beetham.
- The village of Arnside is a 1/2 hour walk along the shore and is great for pottering in the lovely shops, bakery and pubs. It's also here that you catch the train over the water for the short journey to Grange over Sands and the rest of the Lake District.
- If you fancy climbing the Yorkshire Three Peaks or any of the magnificent hills and mountains in the Lakes, Sunlight is ideally placed to use as a base camp being equidistant between both National Parks ... and we are only 10 mins drive from J35 of the M6!
- The estuary in front of Sunlight is one of few places which periodically has a tidal bore. We like to imagine it is like a giant throwing a bucket of water down as the whole bay fills with water within 5 mins! So interesting to watch right from the garden.
- Take your palate on a Michelin Star journey by eating at one of eleven acclaimed restaurants in Cumbria! Either that or enjoy relaxing at our dinning table with it's stunning views & especially at sunset. Booths supermarket is a handy 5 min drive away too.
