Reviews
"Stayed in this great accomodation for a week with my other half and our two large dogs. On arrival we were met by the owner who made us feel most welcome - she showed us a ground floor conversion which upon entry was of outstanding quality. Kitchen diner, two bedrooms - 1 double and a twin with an extra storage bed, bathroom all exceptional. The fridge had several home made cup cakes with fresh cream a very nice touch! There's a small but very neat front garden with adjacent drive. We were offered the use of BBQ but didn't have the time. The accomodation is a short walk from the beach which when tides permit have sands that stretch for miles (check tide times) 6 mile walk to Millom! Or in the other direction 2.5 mile to Stilecroft. Local restaurant "The King Billy" serves outstanding steaks and beverage whilst "The Miners Arms" in Stilecroft has a lovely restaurant too. Local Black Combe Fell is a good test albeit rather barren - if you're looking for the more acclaimed Wainwrights then be prepared for a 40 minute drive. All in all Raceside Cottage is perfect if you're looking to combine a beach and fell experience! Thank you to our exceptional hosts/owners - had an absolutely marvellous time!"
"We thought an up to date review was needed so here we go. The cottage was everything that we wanted for our first break with our three month old. We tend to cook a lot whilst we're away and it made a nice change that the kitchen had everything we needed and more! The open plan living area created a pleasant social setting whilst cooking and eating rather than being stuck in a separate room. The bedrooms were incredibly warm and cosy with loads of space (especially important for all the baby paraphernalia!!) and were a very relaxing space to unwind in after the days activities. The cottage did not advertise wifi but you can use the WiFi belonging to the owners above - the only problem in the walls are so thick the signal is very weak - try the back bedroom!! Viv and Roy (living above) were on hand if we needed anything but left us alone so we didn't really know they were there. It was a lovely touch having homemade buns on arrival (we could have eaten them twice over) along with the bread and milk. The location itself is very quiet. The beach is exactly one mile down a track but this was very muddy due to the time of the year but that didn't matter as there was a hosepipe outside the back door, ideally placed to hose our muddy running gear and the dogs down afterwards. The beach itself is very quiet and unspoilt and if you don't want to walk there, the car park at Silecroft is only a few minutes drive. Unfortunately the village pub was being refurbed but there is a decent pub in Silecroft and a couple in Haverigg, only a short drive away. Overall we had a fantastic week and we would highly recommend it for anyone looking for a quiet relaxing break in the lakes. "
"Arrived at the cottage it was beautiful. Went in to find that the owner had left us cakes and fresh bread - very delicious. We had everything we needed in the cottage, it was a charming cottage and the owner made us feel very welcome. It was well situated for the beach and there was plenty of the things to do and see without having to go to far, it was a great base to visit all the lakes. We really enjoyed our holiday as did the dogs."
"Kirkanston is a lovely little hamlet, outstanding for those people that want to use it as a base for visiting elsewhere or stay local and walk, or cycle or horseride!!! or just chillax. The cottage has been converted to a high level and has everything that you need, it is suitable for couples with or without children, I went with my partner and because there was an extra room my Mum was able to stay for a couple of nights also. We have 3 small dogs that were welcomed. The garden is shared but you still get plenty of privacy and the owners of the cottage are really lovely anyway so it doesn't matter. We went walking everyday there's walks from the front door to the beach or you can get in the car and go further afield. Lovely pub at the end of the road so you can stagger back after a few beers!!! :o) Overall perfect location, we will be returning, oh and nice touch of homemade cakes and bread which were both delicious upon arrival :o). You can get access to the internet but you have to put your phone against the window and wait for a bit...it is the countryside only to be expected!!!"
"Beautifully appointed and maintained, this cottage is in lovely quiet location only 20 minutes walk from an unspoilt beach. Raceside Cottage definitely warrants its 4-star rating. The furnishings are very tasteful, the settees and beds extremely comfortable and the overall feel is very homely. The owners provide a welcome loaf of bread and home-made butterfly cakes which were really lovely. The cottage has everything you need including TV and DVD player (with a good library of DVDs), books, games, etc. There are several good circular walks from the cottage and our dogs had a wonderful time - especially on the beach! Highly recommended - we would definitely go back again!"
"Lovely cottage, dog friendly, very clean, cosy and warm what more could you want for a January break! Local pub in walking distance allows dogs and the food especially steak is great. The accommodation is below the owners but it still felt private enough. Is a bit of a drive to the main attractions in the lakes."
"Raceside Cottage is an absolute jewel of the Lakes! From the scrummy cakes and bread as a welcome gift, to the well thought out books and visitor leaflets for planning days out, Raceside Cottage had it all! We had a relaxing week in august including the dog - the accommodation was of the highest standard and had every utensil you could have needed. The bedrooms were cosy with plenty of storage, lovely bathroom and a great open plan kitchen/lounge. It was just a 15minute walk from the beach and the King William pub 2 mins away, does a fab steak! Although on the West coast, most visitor attractions were within easy driving."
"Race side cottage was lovely and it had absolutely everything you could possibly need. Beds were fantastically comfy a real home from home. Lovely walks for our 2 dogs and lots of nice towns and villages to visit and explore. Extra nice touch were the 6 delicious cupcakes the owner had made for our arrival and 6 fresh eggs and milk in the fridge, all in all highly recommend this accommodation."
"The cottage was amazing with every home comfort you could ask for. The original features of the house merged with the gorgeous modern design and gave a fantastic finish to this beautiful cottage. Location was remote and relaxing and just perfect. The owners made us feel so welcome, even leaving ussome home made cakes to enjoy after our long journey. Such a great holiday!!"
"the cottage was clean and the living area / kitchen was well equipt. the bedroom and the bathrooms were functional but lacking in luxury. its at least a 30 minute drive to most places - whether that be a town, a decent hill or a tourist attraction."
"Good place to stay when visiting c Cumbria and the Lakes"
"Arrived and welcomed by the owner, Freshly baked Cakes on arrival, photos dont do this property justice, its immaculate. short walk to beach, easy access, Try the King George Pub for Lovely Food serving 1.5kg Steaks and great food drop into the lakes everything you need for that relaxed break"
