Walney Island Lighthouse is an incredible property, located at the southern tip of Cumbria in the heart of the South Walney Nature Reserve.
Surrounded by wildlife and with incredible, panoramic sea views it's the perfect location for a memorable getaway.
The cottage is split in to the main three-bedroom house on one side of the tower and 'The Hide' - a one bedroom annexe on the other.
The Hide has its own separate kitchen and living space, making Walney Island Lighthouse the perfect choice for multi-generational families where the parents or grandparents can get their own space.
The nature reserve is windswept and rugged and home to a wonderful diversity of bird species.
Grey seals can also be spotted swimming in the sea at high tide! The sunrises and sunsets are simply stunning and guests will love the experience of being immersed in nature.
Inside, the cottages do not disappoint - they are furnished to a high standard with a contemporary feel with many thoughtful touches which guests will love.
On the ground floor of the main cottage can be found the three bedrooms and family bathroom.
The master bedroom has a king-sized bed with luxury en-suite with walk-in double shower.
For the lazy morning lie-ins, there's a mounted TV which can be watched from the bed.
The second bedroom - 'The White Room' - has a comfortable king size bed.
It too has a wall-mounted TV which can be watched from the bed.
Bedroom number three - 'The Red Room' - has zip link twins, which can also be configured as a king-size double on request.
The spacious family bathroom has a large shower over bath in a contemporary style and alongside this can be found the handy utility room with a washing machine and tumble dryer.
The main living quarters can be found up the stairs and make the most of the wonderful views.
Binoculars and bird watching guidebooks can provide hours of entertainment from the windows with guests able to spot eider ducks, willow warbler and sandwich terns in the Spring or nesting gulls, eiders, oystercatchers ringed plovers and sandwich terns in the summer.
In the cooler Autumn and Winter months, guests can keep warm using the beautiful log burner after the long walks to spot the waders and wildfowl.
The fully-fitted kitchen has all the amenities and equipment to cook up a feast during the self-catered stay including a Krups coffee machine and an integrated dishwasher.
The separate Hide is set all on the ground floor and guests arrive into the large open-plan kitchen/living area which has a double aspect and is flooded with light whatever the time of day.
This leads off to the bedroom which has a king-sized bed and luxury en-suite with walk-in shower.
Outside, there is ample off-road parking for several cars and there are plenty of trails to explore across the dunes.
The lighthouse tower can only be accessed by special arrangement with the owner.
Please note this is a nature reserve and there are restrictions on where you can wander and there is no access to the beach at this south tip of Walney Island.The reserve is a Nature Reserve run by the Cumbria Wildlife Trust and it is a Site of Special Scientific Interest and there are strict rules to follow regarding where you can wander on the island.
No dogs are allowed at the property or anywhere on the reserve, even on a lead.
No fireworks and no drones are permitted.
The nature reserve is closely monitored by a warden and car registration details are required to access the lane to the property prior to your arrival.
Lighthouse Cottage is accessed a good mile along a bumpy track through the island.
We would recommend you bringing a vehicle with a high clearance, if you have the option, for a more comfortable arrival.

From verified guest, May 2025
Verblijven in dit toevluchtsoord was een droom! Het uitzicht vanuit de woonkamer op de bovenverdieping was geweldig, vooral tijdens zonsondergang. We brachten uren door met het kijken naar de vogels met de verrekijker die we ter beschikking hadden.

Der Aufenthalt in diesem Refugium war ein Traum! Die Aussicht vom Wohnbereich im Obergeschoss war atemberaubend, besonders bei Sonnenuntergang. Wir verbrachten Stunden damit, die Vögel mit dem bereitgestellten Fernglas zu beobachten.

Die Küche war bestens ausgestattet, sodass die Zubereitung von Mahlzeiten problemlos möglich war. Wir genossen die Kaffeemaschine für unseren morgendlichen Kaffee, bevor wir zu unseren Naturwanderungen aufbrachen.
