Thank you for letting us stay with you, I was amazed when I first seen it, so cute! The place is amazing So quaint and close to lovely places.... read more
The complimentary beers and marshmallows were a lovely touch and tasted good, plus was nice knowing the beer was locally made.
Good amenities and I loved the fact the wc and shower were outside. A good shower to which I didnāt expect.
The best part, even though the hut was amazing was the animals. Especially when my partner got spat at by a alpaca, Iāve seen it all now lol

where to start with such a good weekend away, before we had even got to the hut I asked Jessica for some help to get some flowers for my girlfriend,... read more she hooked me up with a florist and even collected the flowers and placed them in the hut with no extra fee! Jessica also left some nibbles on the bed and wine on the side which is just what we needed after the long drive.
The check in was easy and no contact with the host was needed, althought a pack with everything we needed to know was in the hut waiting for us (this contained contact info, local amenities, takeout menus and much more)
The hut itself was immaculate, with cute decor and fairy lights that set the mood for any occasion.
The hut can get cold at night but soon warms up with the electric heater and/or the fire pit (which you can also BBQ on!!)
Overall we had an amazing stay.
finally Jess noticed my gf had left her rings in the hut and has arranged for them to be posted back to us with no fee... what an amazing host š

The most gorgeous little escape from reality, allowing us to spend some much needed quality time together, away from the distractions of life! We cannot recommend the Grill Hut enough!... read more Being able to cosy up inside with a starlit sky painted above the bed and a roaring fire was just perfect! We were able to cook delicious food and keep warm by the fire, even when it was pouring down outside. The hut has everything you could need, with cute games and thoughtful touches to amazing quality fire wood/charcoal and brilliant surprises from Jess! Flexible check in and check out is the best thing and allowed us to stay in bed for a couple more blissful hours before checking out! We canāt wait to be back and are already planning our next trip! Thank you Jessā¤ļø xx

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 āŗļø 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 donāt have to walk on the chippings.

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.
On our smallholding we have alpacas, sheep and chickens and guests are welcome to help feed them.
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 Ā£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.
