The Swift

About this property

The Swift is a homely caravan in St Bees, Cumbria, offering off-road parking, WiFi, and an enclosed decked area for simple seaside breaks. Step inside this single-storey retreat and find an open-plan living space that brings everyone together, with the kitchen, dining area, and sitting area arranged so you can cook, eat, and relax in one social hub. The kitchen provides the essentials for a self-catered stay, including an electric oven, gas hob, microwave, and fridge/freezer, so you can easily rustle up breakfast before heading out or supper after a day by the shore. When it is time to turn in, The Swift offers two straightforward bedrooms, a double and a twin, giving flexibility for small families, friends, or couples who prefer separate sleeping spaces.

The shower room, with a walk-in shower, basin, and WC, provides a practical space to freshen up after time on the sand or exploring the local area. Outside, the enclosed decking extends your living space, making a handy spot to sit out with a drink, read a book. With off-road parking for one car just outside, unloading your bags and beach gear is made that bit easier. Set near the beach in St Bees, The Swift places you close to the Cumbrian coastline, where you can spend days paddling in the shallows, strolling along the shore, or simply watching the waves roll in.

Nearby villages and coastal spots invite you to explore further, from simple seaside walks to discovering local eateries and attractions along this characterful stretch of coast. Whatever brings you to this part of Cumbria, The Swift offers a straightforward base for a laid-back coastal getaway.

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.
