Sand Martin

About this property

Sand Martin is a simple caravan retreat in St Bees, Cumbria, offering off-road parking, spacious open-plan living, and stylish wraparound decking with far-reaching views. Set within easy reach of the beach and with the Lake District on the doorstep, it provides a straightforward, family-friendly base for days by the sea and in the fells, with a handy pub a short stroll away and a shop less than a mile from the door.

Step inside to find the heart of the caravan in its open-plan living space, where a gorgeous corner sofa invites everyone to settle in together after a day exploring the coast. Light pours in from the surrounding windows, drawing the eye out towards the views while you regroup over a film or plan tomorrow’s adventures. The kitchen area is well laid out for self-catering, while the dining table gathers the family for easy mealtimes and evening games.

When it is time to unwind, the double bedroom offers its own en-suite toilet for extra convenience, alongside two twin rooms that are ideal for children or friends sharing. A family shower room with walk-in shower keeps getting ready simple, whether you are heading out early or rinsing off after the beach. Outside, the wraparound decking with patio furniture gives you a relaxed spot for alfresco breakfasts or watching the light change over the surrounding countryside.

Spend long days on the nearby beach at St Bees, building sandcastles, paddling, or strolling the shoreline, before heading inland for classic Lake District adventures. Enjoy days out to Keswick and Cockermouth, explore historic Muncaster Castle, ride the Ravenglass miniature railway, fit in a round of golf, or visit the home of Wordsworth for a change of pace. With its unfussy layout and coastal-meets-country setting, Sand Martin in St Bees, Cumbria, sets the scene for straightforward family escapes.

St. Bees is an historic seaside village on the west coast of Cumbria with a Norman priory and Elizabethan public school, as well as a shop, post office and old traditional pubs. It's an ideal base for exploring the western Lake District and Cumbrian coast, and is the start of the famous Wainwright coast to coast walk. St. Bees Head is the only major sea cliff between Wales and Scotland and is the only Heritage coastline in Cumbria. There is a fine beach and many wonderful walks are available along the clifftops, which are also home to one of England’s most important seabird colonies. There is also a nine-hole golf course in the village. Nearby Whitehaven, an elegant Georgian port, and the spectacular western Lakes, are more than worthy of a visit. Muncaster Castle is 8 miles away, as is the Eskdale and Ravenglass miniature railway. Cockermouth, the birth place of Wordsworth, and Keswick on Derwentwater are also within easy driving distance.
