This was our second visit to Sand Villa Grill Hut. It was even better then we remembered, my partner and I loved it so much last year that this year... read more he chose it to propose to me there. The Grill hut is such a magical, fairy tale stay, complete with all the amenities you need for a glamping holiday. Located in a beautiful part of the country. We would highly recommend hiring the pizza oven for the evening as this provided great entertainment and food at a very reasonable price. We used the bus just outside the site to get to Lancaster and had a fab time there on the second day, the bus was quick and easy to use. We can’t wait to book again next year. Thank you to Jess and Lee for being such wonderful and friendly hosts.

Our stay at this charming wooden hut was nothing short of magical. Tucked away in a peaceful setting, it combined rustic beauty with thoughtful comforts, creating a cozy haven. The... read more craftsmanship of the hut impressed us, with every detail adding to its warm ambiance.
Interacting with the friendly animals on-site was a delightful highlight, bringing smiles and a unique touch to our day. The hosts' inclusion of thoughtful 'positive supplies' showcased their commitment to both guest experience and sustainability.
I wholeheartedly recommend this enchanting retreat. It's perfect for those seeking tranquility or a quaint base for outdoor adventures. Our experience was rejuvenating and would visit again.

This has to be the best Airbnb experience and accommodation I have ever come across. Jessica went above and beyond making our short stay something to remember, I had told... read more her that I was bringing my 9 year old son and the stunning lodge we stayed in had some wonderful touches, so Halloween themed blankets, lots of snacks amd a pumpkin to carve to name just a few. Loved it, and more importantly so did my son!

Had a gorgeous stay, lovely attention to detail. We stayed on a cold and rainy weekend and we couldn’t have been warmer with the fire on! It was perfect. Communication... read more was easy, we needed extra logs and the hosts were straight down with them. They told us we could check out later the next day which was a nice addition!

Perfect little cosy cabin we had booked for the bank hol weekend 🥰 pictures do not do this place justice it’s absolutely unreal and having the alpacas right on your... read more doorstep is such a bonus as they’re so fluffy, friendly and cute, I couldn’t stop laughing at them, the brown one was my fave!! Cannot fault this place at all it had everything you may need down to the T. The fire pit was amazing better in person and we cooked steaks we bought locally the first night on the open fire and hired a pizza oven from Jess on the second night where we made garlic bread and margarita pizzas. So quiet and private considering the location and what else is around you. The outdoor swing is lovely I had a bacon bun and a brew in the morning sat on the swing!! Also the shower is second to none definitely an amazing experience to try.
Hosts on hand via a quick message. We will definitely be back , thank you so much for a perfect weekend 🥰

A truly magical little place, we celebrated our anniversary here and this felt like a special place for it! So lovely to see the alpaca from the window and feed... read more ready in the cabin for greeting them. We had marhsmallows and bubbly waiting on arrival, and the fairy lights are so lovely lit up in the night with the outdoor swing where I would have my morning coffee. Really appreciated all the welcoming touches from Jess and Lee who were always available to help and respond quickly, excellent hosts and would recommend for any special occasion!

We have just gotten back from a relaxing night away. As busy parents we were looking for somewhere scenic, relaxing and with plenty to do. We felt welcomed from the... read more start, left some lovely extras and the hut was spotless and cosy. We had an explore, fed the goats and checked out the pub pod (a lovely extra touch). We then made our pizzas, ate them outside and then wondered back to the pub pod to sit outside, play some games & watch the sun set. We then went back to the hut, lit the fire and relaxed. We slept well and felt refreshed the next day. We enjoyed our breakfast outside & had a slow morning before getting ready to leave.
We had a wonderful time away and it was just what we needed. Thank you so much ☺️ we are hoping to return with the kids in the near future.
A top tip we would give is to bring some sliders for the shower so you don’t have to walk on the chippings.

We stayed at the Grill Hut for 2 nights. It was our first trip since the whole Covid thing. I can honestly say it was perfect. Jess and her family... read more were all lovely and welcoming, everywhere was spotlessly clean and the hut had everything you needed. Feeding the alpacas, sheep n chickens was a joy, they're all very tame which I'm sure anyone with young family's would love.

Quirky hut with the fire at the end of the bed a nice touch. Luckily with the British Summer we had a need to use the fire. We enjoyed a... read more nice walk for an amazing Thai in pilling for one evening and went to the Farm Yard Brew Co for a lovely Greek meal the other evening.

Sandvilla Gril hut is truly a magical and incredible experience. Jessica and Lee are such wonderful and accommodating hosts. We couldn’t have had a better time if we tried! Everything... read more about this place is perfect, the hut it’s self is so cosy and beautifully decorated, the open fire for cooking is so much fun to us and the cookbooks provided were extremely helpful and lead to excellent nacho making! Although you are on a campsite the whole experience felt so private and secluded, feeding the alpacas was brilliant they are so friendly! Lee and Jess really have thought of everything to make the stay truly wonderful. We can’t thank them enough.

Luxury Glamping Experience…
Sandvilla Stays is located just outside the village of Cockerham and the village sits on the coastal planes south of Lancaster where the River Lune meets the Irish Sea.
We are on the doorstep to The Lake District and ideally situated for exploring the Fylde Coast and Yorkshire Dales. The Lancashire coastal way passes through Cockerham hosting great walks and cycle routes.

Our small glamping site is made up of 3 hard standing pitches and 3 glamping units. Our pitches are fully serviced and exclusively for Camping and Caravanning Club Members (yearly membership from £45 – see here for details).
We have 3 unique glamping experiences for you and your families, each unit is set within its own private area and all units have electric, heating, private toilets/showers and much more.
You might want to get back to nature in our Scandinavian style grill hut, which hosts an indoor fire pit for cooking and entertaining.
Or for a little bit more luxury book into one of our 2 pods and enjoy an outdoor hot bath looking out at the alpacas.
With a great communal playing space in our field for the children we hope you can sit back relax and enjoy switching off.
