Resting paces away from the beach and a hub of amenities, whilst within driving distance of the Lake District National Park, Seaspray offers a well-equipped base for a self-catered stay, for four guests and their furry companions. Benefit from ample, private parking, before heading through the front door and into the kitchen/diner; complete with all the essentials, make use of the electric oven and hob, washing machine and dishwasher, helping ease your stay. Prepare meals to be enjoyed around the dining table, or head outdoors for an alfresco affair, listening to the nearby waves whilst basking in the Cumbrian sunlight. For privacy, be sure to relax in the enclosed rear patio whilst your four-legged friends roam and play in the secure garden or locate the living/dining room to unwind upon the plush corner sofa. As day turns into night, catch some rest from one of two bedrooms on offer, including a twin (can be Superking on request), and a double, both complete with TVs and serviced by the lovely bathroom. Refresh and prepare for your adventure before heading into the village to stock up on the essentials or to grab a bite to eat, before following the Coast-to-Coast Walk, touring the Saint Bees Head Heritage Coast; be wowed by the stunning, coastal vistas within the area.

If you'd prefer a countryside landscape, head for the national park, firstly stopping off at the remains of Egremont Castle and Longlands Lake, also inviting of well-behaved dogs, before summiting Scafell Pike or hiking through Wild Ennerdale National Forest. Experience the best of the coast and country at Seaspray.
On Cumbria's west coast, St. Bees is a historic seaside community with a Norman priory, an Elizabethan public school, a store, a Post Office, and a few old-fashioned taverns. It is the beginning of the renowned Wainwright coast-to-coast walk and a great starting point for exploring the western Lake District and Cumbrian shore. The only significant sea cliff between Wales and Scotland is St. Bees Head, which is also Cumbria's only Heritage shoreline. There is a nice beach nearby, and there are lots of beautiful hikes you can take along the cliffs, which are also the location of one of the most significant seabird colonies in England. The community also has a nine-hole golf course.
