This is our third stay at Kingfisher’s rest. As before we found the cottage spotless and welcoming. It is such a comfortable cottage in a perfect location close to the beach and Hodbarrow nature reserve. Haverigg has 3 pubs, two serving food. The Harbour hotel does a brilliant Sunday lunch. Another lovely holiday. Our dog Cody loves the beach. Thank you.
