The Admiral's Home, Whitehaven

The Admiral's Home is a massive 8-bedroom holiday lodge in coastal Whitehaven, Cumbria. This newly-refurbished property sits just minutes from the beach and offers space for up to 18 guests - perfect for that family reunion where you can finally tell Aunt Margaret what you really think of her fruitcake. Located a short drive from the Lake District National Park, this stunning property combines seaside charm with easy access to England's most beautiful landscapes.

The town of Whitehaven provides everything you need within walking distance. The local pub is a mere 0.2 miles away (walking distance after a few pints), shops are 0.4 miles from your door and the beach is just 0.6 miles away. Day trips to the Lake District are simple with the national park just a short drive away - hike the fells in the morning and soak those aching muscles in the hot tub by evening.

Accommodation includes three super-king-size bedrooms (one featuring a freestanding bath), a ground-floor double with en-suite shower, three twin rooms and a single. The property boasts six bathrooms total, a fully-equipped kitchen with two dishwashers (no arguing over who's washing up), dining room, sitting room and snug. High-speed WiFi and Smart TV with Netflix keep everyone entertained when the British weather inevitably turns.

Whitehaven's harbour and marina are worth exploring, with the Beacon Museum (0.7 miles, 5-minute drive) showcasing local history.
