  West Croft This bungalow was booked for us as a gift for our anniversary. West Croft is a fantastic bungalow. It was very peaceful & private. Very clean, well equipped with everything we needed. We had a great time exploring the area. The locals very helpful & welcoming. Our two dogs loved the beach which is only a 5 minute walk away. We would definately book again. Maxine & Michael.

• "A beautiful cottage, in a peaceful setting, well equipped with comfy beds and quality bedding provided."

  This is a lovely base in walking distance of the beach and within reach of some other hidden gems. There is everything you need here and the place was spotless when we arrived. The welcome pack of tea/coffee/milk and biscuits was also a lovely touch. Fluffy towels were provided, we always take our own as hubby has allergies to certain detergents, but its great that these were also good quality. We would definitely recommend staying here and would like to thank the owners for sharing it with us, a quiet break away from it all was exactly what we needed.

• "West Croft is a fantastic bungalow with beautiful views and very peaceful."

  The house was spotlessly clean and well equipped. We had a great time exploring the local area and spending time on the beach just a few minutes walk away. We would definitely book again.

• "We were so glad to have found West Croft, up there with some of the best we have rented in the last thirty years."

  West Croft sits in a quiet and peacefully private setting. The bungalow itself has everything you need to enjoy a self catering holiday. It has comfortable beds and sofas. The kitchen is well equipped with all the equipment you need. Plenty of seats for more than six people to eat in, although there were only two of us. It was spotlessly clean. There are beautiful views from the front windows towards the Lakeland fells. It was great to watch the weather rolling in. The beach is not too far away, and Mawbray Banks are very interesting to walk along. With lots to discover if you are interested in wildlife. We spotted lots of different things. The local gastro pub is only a short stroll away, with a nice children’s play area opposite. Very tasty food and well worth a visit. There was a welcome pack waiting for us on arrival, including tea, coffee, milk and biscuits. Plus there were dish washer tablets, soap, and other cleaning products. We contacted the owner a couple of times while staying. She was so kind, friendly, and patient with us. We would love a return visit. Five stars from us!!

• "Lovely clean, spacious, comfortable, well-equipped bungalow, with stunning views, only a short walk to the beach and pub."

  We found the directions to the bungalow, when we reached the village, a bit confusing, not knowing which patch of grass was the “village green”. Perhaps somewhere in the information, it could be stated that the freezer is in the garage.

  The weather held up and good to see the Lowther Arms pub back up and running as a focal point for the local, friendly community and visitors. Always a pleasure to stay at West Croft and visit the beautiful surrounding areas (especially Silloth). We shall definitely be returning at some point in the future...

• "West Croft is a lovely, homely and relaxing place to stay in the heart of the quiet, friendly village of Mawbray."

  It has everything you need for a ‘home from home’ holiday, and is in a great location for exploring the surrounding area. The views from the property are terrific, and the property is well equipped and spotlessly clean. It’s located very close to the beach with views across to Scotland and is perfect for walking or just wandering the shoreline looking for treasure! We recommend walking down the coastline to the Allonby Tea Rooms for lunch (worth booking, as they get busy) or finish your day at the local community owned pub, The Lowther Arms, for superbly cooked meals with a very warm welcome. Worth noting great options for veggies and vegans at both places. Can’t think of a nicer place to base yourself to recharge and unwind, we didn’t want to leave!

• "We booked an Easter break with our 2 dogs."

  Upon arrival ( we were an hour early) the family were cleaning the property and made us feel welcome by making us tea and providing water for the dogs after a long journey. The Bungalow was extremely spacious, clean, well presented and in a great location for our needs. It is well stocked with kitchen equipment and the panoramic views of the countryside are a delight to wake up to. The property is very close to the beach too which the dogs loved. Close to Silloth for a short drive to get fish and chips, Whitehaven, Maryport and Workington & Carlisle.We even managed a nice meal at Armathwaite Hall in Keswick. If I was staying on the west coast again I would certainly come back here. I've already recommended this place to one of my friends

  5 miles) as well as easily accessible lane walks. On a quiet lane just out of the village of Mawbray with little passing traffic and super views of the Lakeland Fells. A comfortable home to return to after a day's walking or adventuring further afield. Well equipped kitchen and large freezer in the garage. The garage was also useful for accommodating the dog's sleeping crate. Would highly recommend for a quiet and peaceful relaxing holiday!

  The house itself was very well presented with more than enough room for us, have never seen a cottage so full of personal memorabilia, was lovely to imagine the family that lived there before. The facilities at West Croft were very good, kitchen was well stocked with everything you could possibly think of, the milk in the fridge was a nice touch, and welcome tray also, we did bring some things with us, and just topped up sugar and coffee jars when we left. The cottage was very clean, and very hot when the heating came on, I had to turn down radiators as was to hot, the shower was lovely and quite powerful and the bath quite long, I'm only 5ft 1 and could just about touch end with tiptoes haha. All in all a fabulous stay, have recommended it to lots of friends, and hope to rebook in the future

• "West Croft is a lovely cottage!"

  An eclectic mix of old and new but very comfortable and well equipped. Mawbray village is also lovely; the community pub does terrific food and the locals are very welcoming. The only downside was not having anywhere secure (at the cottage) to let the dogs off lead. This wasn't a huge problem for us as the beach is only a short walk away and public footpaths criss cross the fields so lots of places to walk but the path around the back of the cottage does not really constitute a secure area for dogs. Having said that, it would not stop us going again! The cottage and area were gorgeous, a real undiscovered gem.

  The property is spacious, immaculately clean, very well equipped, warm, and extremely comfortable. There is a short 10 minute stroll to the beach, where you will find miles of sand, dunes, and hardly any other person. This is a perfect place to find peace and quiet and enjoy a comfortable, relaxing break. A short drive and you’ll find restaurants and major shops in Workington or Whitehaven, or 30 minutes in the car you’ll be in Cockermouth and the lakes. We’ve had a great time, and will certainly look to book again and return to West Croft.

  Also the bedroom doors do not close properly so if he pushed it it would come open so had to put bags by the door on the inside of the bedrooms so he could not get in. A lovely house but I think it should not have said it was dog friendly so many more houses that are far more pet friendly and I have stayed in many of them .

  “Thank you for your feedback. I am glad you had a good holiday. We do advise in our booking conditions that dogs are not allowed on furniture or the beds at the cottage. Owners will often leave signs to reinforce this. If there was an issue with the bedroom door we would have been more than happy to pop around and adjust the door for you, and the minor problem has now been addressed. We hope to welcome you back in the future.” Property Owner
