Great spot for family fun, plenty to keep everyone happy.
James
We really enjoyed our stay here! The place was surprisingly spacious and had all the essentials plus some extras we didn't even think of. Definitely a great find for a holiday.
Emily
We had such a lovely stay! The house was spacious and really peaceful, making it perfect for relaxing. We enjoyed exploring the dunes and walking along the sands when the tide was out-such a beautiful spot. The wildlife was fantastic, especially the variety of wading birds and wildflowers. It's definitely a place we'd return to for some proper rest and chill-out time. Truly a gem!
Oliver
We had such a lovely week here, it really felt like home. Celebrating my sister's 22nd birthday and our parents' 25th wedding anniversary made it extra special, especially with how fantastic the place is. It's got everything you could need - well stocked and comfy. The hot tub was definitely the highlight! Even our old dogs loved it. We made some unforgettable memories and didn't want to leave. Huge thanks to the wonderful owners!
Sarah
We really enjoyed our stay at The Retreat. The house is lovely and perfectly situated for strolls along the coast and exploring the Lakes. It's so well kitted out for everyone, including the dog. The owners truly thought of everything - thank you!

We absolutely loved our stay at this gorgeous retreat! From the moment we got there, we felt right at home. The cottage is well equipped with everything you could need-and then some. It's kept spotlessly clean, which we really appreciated. The village nearby is adorable, with a cosy pub just a couple of minutes walk away serving lovely food. The owners are genuinely lovely and very helpful. Little thoughtful touches made all the difference. We're definitely planning to return-had such a great time, thanks a lot! xx

We had a lovely stay at the Retreat! It was super clean, warmand felt very welcoming. The owners clearly put a lot of thought into making sure everything was perfect for guests. Having an enclosed garden was a real bonus for our dogand the walks right from the doorstep were ideal. Even though we only stayed a few nights, we quickly relaxed and really enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere. Definitely recommend!

Lake District Wildlife Park - CA12 4RD
about 11 Miles
We love this day out in Cumbria where you're encouraged to "take a fresh look".  Some of the amazing animals you will get to see include the only Canadian Lynx in the UK and you will have the opportunity to help their Lynx Conservation Project.  The Asian Fishing Cat is also well worth a look - these cats are known for diving under the water and catching fish!  Other activities include fantastic flying displays and play areas for the little ones...
Mabie Farm Park - DG2 8EZ
about 17 Miles
Mabie Farm Park is a firm favourite. Ideal for families with younger children ,this family oriented farm park has lots of animals to meet and also offers Donkey Rides, Paddle Boats and Slides as well as Trampolines and Bouncy Castles. Kids can run around on the Soft Play Area while mum and dad relax in the Tea Room. There is also a Farm Shop onsite selling toys, gifts and fresh local produce including cakes and jams. Seasonal activities can also be enjoyed including a spookly tea and walk on Haloween. The Farm closes for the winter on October 31st.
Tullie House Museum & Art Gallery - CA3 8TP
about 20 Miles
This is a museum and art gallery in one and will suit those looking for an educational and cultural day out.  You can explore the fantastic art collection including Fine Art, Decorative Art and Textiles.  If you love nature then this aspect of Tullie House will appeal. The museum holds large and important collections of zoological, botanical and geological material. And for lovers of history there is plenty to wet your appetite here. Tullie House collects a wide range of historic materials including objects, ephemera (printed material), photographs and associated information files.  We think this museum and art gallery are excellent value for money as well.
Castle Douglas - DG7 1TJ
about 22 Miles
We also recommend a visit to Castle Douglas and the Treasure Hunt Treasure Trails. These treasure hunts are great fun for the whole family and are an entertaining way to explore a new town or village. Children will enjoy solving the clues whilst learning about the history of the area. The walking trail is suitable for wheelchair users and those with pushchairs so no one is left out of the fun.
Ullswater Steamers - CA11 0US
about 26 Miles
This is an award winning Lake District attraction and they have been operating cruisers on Lake Ullswater for over 150 years.  There is no better way to explore the lakes than on water and you could even combine a cruise with a spectacular walk.  For great days out in this region then this attraction is highly recommended and will appeal to couples as well as families.  Corporate groups are also well catered for.
