Villa Marina in Roa Island | Must-See Cumbria Hot Tub Cottage

About Villa Marina

Villa Marina is a spacious coastal lodge on Roa Island near Barrow-in-Furness. This impressive 5-bedroom property offers stunning sea views across Morecambe Bay and direct beach access. Perfect for large groups looking to escape the daily grind without sacrificing modern comforts.

The island setting gives you a proper break from the mainland madness. Watch tall ships sail by or catch spectacular sunrises from your bedroom balcony. The outdoor space is a genuine highlight with multiple dining areas and a garden big enough for the kids to tear around in. And let's be honest - nothing beats sipping a glass of wine in the hot tub while watching the sunset over the water (unless you fall asleep in there like one guest did).

Accommodation includes five bedrooms sleeping up to 10 guests: one king-size with Jacuzzi en-suite, another king-size room, a ground-floor double, a super-king that converts to twins with en-suite and a twin room. There are four bathrooms total, including two en-suites. The property features three living areas: an open-plan kitchen/dining/sitting space, a cosy sitting room with open fire and a first-floor sitting room.

Nearby attractions include South Lakes Safari Zoo (15 minutes), Furness Golf Club (10 minutes), the Victorian town of Barrow-in-Furness (15 minutes) and the historic market town of Ulverston (20 minutes) with its Laurel and Hardy museum. Water sports enthusiasts can enjoy sailing, windsurfing and kayaking practically on your doorstep.

Villa Marina delivers space, luxury and location in equal measure. The hot tub, sea views and multiple living areas make it ideal for family gatherings or friend reunions where you want time together but also room to spread out.

Popular Stays Near This Cottage

Villa Marina Reviews

We loved the house and location. The only issue we had was that the outside spaces were under CCTV monitoring at all times, to the extent that it overlooked the Hot Tub. We did not know this would be the case and saw it as an invasion of our privacy. We did not expect to be monitored like this during our stay and therefore could not use all the facilities that were available. There was no indication anywhere that CCTV was in operation on the advertisement or at the house, but we did see the cameras and they were active all the time.

Hassan

Had a fantastic stay and would highly recommend it to groups of friends and families alike. The nearby town of Barrow has everything you might need, with several Tesco stores close by for added convenience. The Villa Marina itself was exceptionally wellequipped and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. It was also fascinating to learn about the history of nearby Piel Island and explore the Lake District during our visit. Overall, a 1010 experience, and we would happily return again.

This our 5th stay at Villa Marina. We return every year and hope to continue for many more. Its warm, spacious and welcoming and the views are spectacular.

Sandra

Absolutely beautiful property. Stunning views across the bay. Lots of outdoor seating, perfect for morning coffee to watch the tides. First impressions were excessive use of labels, but then again not everyone has common sense. We did have a dog with us and couldnt relax incase he shed hair, we just kept a close eye on him and made sure of his whereabouts at all times, however we found hair and dust and dirt but we just cleaned as we went. 5pm check in is quite late on a Monday and 10 am check out on a Friday, doesn't give you great value for money, with the gardner waking us all up at 8 am on the Friday. Overall the property and location is just simply stunning. We had a fantastic time, and would love to return one day. Maybe stay for longer

Fantastic views and location Property wasnt ready on time , we arrived at 1745 and had to wait 15 min on cleaners finishing up not a problem but 1700 check in was like losing a day as it was and the cleanliness wasnt the best No starter pack provided I have stayed in properties a lot cheaper than this one and was provided with at least a pint of milk and a loaf of bread Far to many notices throughout the house telling you do this or dont do that or you will incur a charge ,God forbid you break a glass or place a glass in the wrong cupboard a bit over the top Be aware there are industrial grade security cameras all around the external of the property tracking your every move outside including one overlooking the hot tub Property is nice but a bit tired for the money We were a small family group with elderly parents not a rowdy bunch we all had a great time although we never fully relaxed due to all the warning notices and cameras. An outside parasol would have been nice as there is no cover for the outside tables Please note there is no BBQ at the property. The hot tub was clean but stopped working the last few days not a problem as we only used it a few times.

Beautiful setting and large accommodations perfect to spread out. Outdoors Hot Tub is a fantastic bonus. However, rules for having a dog are very strict all dog hair MUST be removed otherwise it will be chargeable!!! We spent a lot of time ensuring Dog hair was hoovered up each day! Upstairs x2 electric showers have a poor flow rate and keep going hot and cold. Nevertheless, the weather was wonderful which made Villa Marina shine as an ideal staycation place to enjoy. Owners never got in touch and Sykes Holiday Cottages were overall a massive frustration for 2 months of trying to speak with someone regarding my disabled wife who needed Oxygen equipment supply from local NHS facility! We wont be booking with Sykes in future!

Andrew

Many thanks for a wonderful stay at villa marina. We couldnt think of a better place to share with our friends and family. It is a very private and special place. We found the owners to be very accommodating, and we hope to one day return.

Really, really great stay So comfortable, clean, quiet and restful Awesome views ! House was well equipped, lovely great bathrooms comfy beds We really didn't want to leave The owner was really helpful in letting us leave some luggage until we checked into another cottage at three o'clock we really wanted to stay for the full 15 days but another person was already booked for the second week. Highly, highly recommend staying there go and see for yourself

Eileen

My family had a great time celebrating my 80th birthday at Villa Marina. The Villa is a warm and welcoming place to spend time in the hottub was well used and much appreciated, all the seating and beds were extremely comfortable and if I was only allowed one word to describe our stay there, it would be Magical.

Yvonne

Villa Marina lived up to everything we saw on the website and more! The setting was perfect and we spent a lot of time just sitting, relaxing and looking at the views. We took paddle boards and a kayak with us and had fun in the bay we checked the tide times also searching amongst the rocks. There was plenty of room for the nine of us and our dog without being crammed in. Our grandsons loved the hot tub and playing in the garden which had a few different seating areas. Our grandson thought it was the best holiday he's had. All of it was perfect and we will definitely be back

Siobhan

Great venue and what a view so close to Coniston too! It was great for our needs and we got so lucky with the weather which was an added bonus!

Gregory

Fabulous property will breathtaking views of the roa island coastline. House has all mod cons and lots of space, particularly handy if your a large group as 2 tv viewing areas and lots of seating space inside and our. Hot tub was fantastic, I even nodded off in there. Can only highly recommend this property and we had beautiful weather which was the icing on the cake. The owners contacted me on departure day to make sure everything was OK. I found this a nice touch as getting feedback wether positive or negative is the sign of professional and caring renters. We are already trying to work out dates to book again this year. Don't dither, book it or you will miss out.

Amazing fantastic The house and setting is truly amazing, the bedrooms and views are stunning 2 of them even have balconies facing the sea.

Had a lovely New Year gathering for our extended family. The accommodation was roomy, cosy, clean and ample facilities and equipment. The hot tub was especially enjoyable particularly watching the beautiful sunrise. I had a couple of conversations with the owner who I found extremely approachable. In all a good time was had by everyone.

What a wonderful property, we have had the most amazing and peaceful time at Villa Marina. The garden and outside space is fantastic, with a choice of dining areas and hot tub with a view! Early mornings were spectacular with a sunrise we could never tire of from the gorgeous airy bedroom with comfortable bed and linens. Had chance to meet the lovely owners on our last day. We will most definitely try to be back sometime! Thank you!

Andrew

Fantastic house in beautiful surroundings, the views in the morning on bright clear days were stunning, at night time we could see accros the bay to blackpool tower. The house was warm and very well equiped including washing powder etc. Instructions for all equipment was provided. A great base for the lakes and seaside days out, local beaches such as bardsea were well worth a visit. Since our group were late fifties to late eighties the small twin room was not really suitable but it would be no problem for younger groups. All in all highly recommended.

Jonathan

We took the whole family for a week, staying at the Villa Marina and found it a fantastic large home in a great location. It was clean and very well presented with plenty of space for all ten family members. Indeed we rarely used the second living space upstairs as we had enough space for everyone downstairs. The open plan kitchen area and wrap around conservatory space with comfy seating was as good as it looks in the photos and the main place for us when we were at home. The gardens were beautiful and the numerous outdoor seating options utilised to look at the views of morecambe bay. Would most definately recommend

Pamela

Great location,superb property,well laid out with excellent facilities. Bits that would help going forwards,more dishwasher tablets please,also no rinse and or salt which it needed badly. Need something outside to dry washing on,grass badly needed cutting,nasty big nettles.Jacuzzi bath drains very slowly,needs drain unblocker put down plughole. Found 2x cups chipped ,1x glass cracked and 1x plate chipped,all hidden at the back of the cupboards. Aga oven shelves were dirty. Hot tub was dirty,cleaned when there but too quickly got dirty again.Having said this would definitely book again..would have appreciated being able to access fishing gear etc as was advertised when we booked this in January but nothing was accessible during our stay JulyAugust.

Andrea

These things have been mentioned in previous reviews but the issues have not been resolved. It is a beautiful property and is in an amazing location and it is such a shame that the cleanliness lets it down. The house requires a good deep clean. Greasy things covered in dust on kitchen work tops. Things which have not been cleaned properly in cupboards and drawers. Cobwebs internally and externally at the entrance area. I am not a big fan of all the instructions all over the house either. I believe that liquid soap should be available in the kitchen and downstairs bathroom. I know in summer we should be able to rely on the sun to warm the property but with the aga not switched on and the central heating locked at 21.0c we were really cold on the first 2 nights of our stay so we reached for the wood to start a fire in the lounge but no started pack was left for us. So we had to make a trip to Barrow for fire wood and blankets, not ideal. Also in the kitchen lots of the mugs and plates have chips or glazing cracks. I have stayed in lots of rental properties and this one just felt a bit below par. I think every other one has provided at least a bottle of milk on arrival some have provided much more cakes wine chocolate and toiletries in the bathrooms. So in conclusion we enjoyed our stay but with these things attend to it would have been a truly remarkable experience.

Louise

A home away from home, Villa Marina is beautiful, very spacious and has gorgeous views of the sea. Perfect for our extended family Christmas holiday.

Spacious, beautiful, the views are fantastic. A glorious holiday place to stay for 10 people a family gathering. The Aga and electric oven were a bit of a challenge and the Hot Tub needed more water but Cheerful Kevin came to our aid

We had a fabulous holiday at the villa marina. The house and views are spectacular. It is a great place to relax. We would definitely recommend and we hope to return. Many thanks.

Pauline

Everything we wanted and more. Have already recommended this property to friends. We spent most of the week in the sun room just watching the sea. It was lovely and warm with the aga on. The house was so relaxing and we instantly felt at home.

Already raised many issues for our stay with the owner but they were not entertained and we were all insulted in the way the owner suggest how we use the jacuzzi. None of the bathroom were furnished with soapshampoo. The GAS cooker ignition did not work. To mention a few.

Elizabeth

One of the best places we've ever rented the pictures don't do it justice. The views are unreal, from the garden & from the house itself, direct on Morecambe Bay, & a really beautiful garden full of flowers. From part of the first floor is open plansunroom, with water views all around. Nice snug living room at the back of the house. Plenty of places to sit both inside & outside benches, sofas, table, a little hidden deck right on the water In case you're confused by the photos we were the back of Villa Marina is attached to the Victorian brick house, but they are very separate, with a fence, and both house & garden are private. Nice hot tub, too. We took the ferry to Piel and drove into lovely Ulverston. We'd rented a place from someone else that turned out not to be as advertised & Sykes helped us arrange this at the last minute. We couldn't believe our luck.

Deborah

Lovely place but when the weather turned cold you could not turn the heating on or up. As I said when I phoned on landing a spindle was broken you could see it had been glued previously as it was right on the bend it was not safe for young children. It was lovely the views were fantastic. Would stay there again.

Great property as described in a wonderful location. Enjoyed the hot tub very much. Is there a way I can contact the owner about a couple of things? For example we found a Nintendo Switch under one of the sofas. We weren't sure if this was meant to be in the property or whether it may have belonged to a previous guest? Also one of our group lost a set of keys. It would be great if they are found that they could be posted back to us. Thank you!

Hello, before I mention some of the feedback, I should say the house was beautiful and as described, and the only real issue we encountered was the lack of Aga Cooker. Additional examples for improvement Missing parts of instructions for induction hob Broken shower door back upstairs room Leaking front door in heavy rain Lots of dirt and dust e.g layer of dust in wardrobe upstairs and cobwebs by deckchairs in conservatory and cobwebs above bed in small room with dusty wardrobe. Lots of cobwebs everywhere Drain flys in bathroom with broken shower door Hot tub dirty lots of bits floating in there. Dirty glasses and cups when we arrived and a few chipped A few bulbs out No soap in the house when we arrived No fire lighters, no gas in the lighter to light the fire. Again, overall, we had an excellent time, but end up spending more on Takeaways and meals out that we would have preferred. Thank you for your time. Aaron

We enjoyed a lovely stay, the property was so much bigger than it looked in the pictures and was a beautiful place. The location was ideal, right next to the sea. We had everything we needed, the hot tub was great, although a couple of jets seemed faulty, but it didnt hinder our enjoyment. The house was clean, spacious, and easy to find. We had a great meal at the Clarkes hotel down the road, and the nearest shop was about a 5 minute drive away. The house is right next to Piel Ferry and we were lucky enough to take a trip to Piel island, which was a great and cheap day out. We had a bit of a nightmare on the day of leaving as my car decided to break down. Whilst waiting for the RAC, the caretakers arrived. They were really kind and understanding. The gentleman insisted on helping me jump start the car, which thankfully worked! They were really nice people and I cant thank them enough for going above and beyond to help us out of the pickle we were in. Would definitely recommend and visit again.

Geraldine

Property was absolutely amazing and catered from all ages in our party from age 89 to 2 years. On the downside however, I feel not being allowed into the property till 5pm when there is your first day gone and having to vacate at 9am was very challenging given the ages in our party. Im not satisfied that this is for cleaning purposes as although the beds were made up, lots of other parts of the house were clean but not thoroughly as lots of surface dust.

The property is amazing. A real gem of a property and a truely indulgent treat. The view of the sea through the windows and from the garden is mesmerising is all weathers. The house is beautifully designed and a fantastic space for family groups. I am not sure if we will be in a position to afford another holiday there but hopefully one day we can. Roa Island is a treasure.

Absolutely stunning property for a girls weekend. The views are unreal and the house is just gorgeous. The only downside of our stay was that we arrived at 1647 check in is at 5pm and were greeted by the rudest cleaning staff. We pulled up to the property and seen a few young people entering so we asked one if them is this the right place because weve just seen some others walk in. They replied erm yes and those young people are making YOUR bedsand checkin is at 5pm you know???. We waited outside overlooking the view until 1730 because they hadnt finished but as they were leaving offered us a late checkout on the last day. Also, AGA cooking facility kept going off so never got a chance to cook in it. Hot tub also required maintenance during our stay because it wasnt hot enough. Other than any of that, i wasnt put off and would 100 love to stay again after the cleaning staff had cheered up a little because it doesnt set the right tone when youre only just arriving at your destination.

Rochelle

The property is amazing! ! The views are breathtaking!!! We never got tired of Watching the sea come and go everyday ! We watched the bats feeding most early evenings as well which the kids loved. The bats come really close to the patio doors, so it was a great view. The house has everything you could wish for. Very clean and all needs catered for. The only negative and I really had to think of one is that the toaster could do with an update it was hit and miss on if it worked or not. Other than that the house was perfect! Thank you so much. We hope to be back.

Nadera

Amazing property with a beautiful view! The pictures don't do it justice.

Lovely place to stay, really idyllic with it being right on the seafront. House had everything that was needed for a large family to stay in, ample bedroom space, large hottub, great kitchen facilities etc. Only thing to note is that there's no shop within walking distance of the property, however there are large supermarket chains and other conveniences within a 10 minute drive to Barrow itself. Would highly recommend to anyone thinking of booking, we had a great time and thinking of booking again next year!

This is a fantastic property to enjoy a peaceful getaway. Its a very comfortable spacious accommodation. Views are idyllic and its a great position for exploring the lakes. The only niggles was the space above the aga needs decobwebbing. The TV fire stick was difficult to operate, as the remote was in poor condition and the hot tub needs more regular maintenance when people have booked a weeks holiday.

Beautiful , spacious and very well furnished house in a fantastic location with stunning views across Morecambe Bay. Both lounges were extremely comfortable with the added benefit of an open fire in the downstairs one. The beds were also extremely comfortable and the view from the master bedroom was outstanding especially from the balcony. The kitchen area was also spacious with a large dining table perhaps the chairs could be a little bit bigger as you are quite low down when eating and had an Aga , electric hob and oven and microwave, every utensil you could possibly need was provided . There is a seating area incorporated into the kitchen area where you can sit and take in the views through the panoramic windows , there is also a sunroom where you can again just chill and take in the views. The massive garden which contains a fantastic hot tub led directly to the sea but be aware that if you have little ones keep an eye on them as there is no fence between the garden and the sea. We loved staying here and I'm sure anyone else staying here will feel the same . The photos of the house do not do it justice and although they are brilliant , its much better in real life. Thankyou for a wonderful holiday.

Great place to stay. Amazing views of the beach. The house its self is lovely so much room inside and out. The bedrooms are beautiful with lovely views to wake up to. Highly reccomend for families or for a group of friends to stay.

We had a lovely time in the house, its a great property. I would love to tell the owners that their kitchen table chairs are just too low for the table, making eating feel very strange! This has been mentioned by others in the guest book as well. It is really annoying! The standard of cleanliness was poor, significant amounts of dust, dead insects next to sofas and chairs for example. No problem with the very early checkout time of 0900, but requiring the dishwasher to be empty rather than on seems mean! The lack of recycling at the property is also strange, unless the waste company recycle it later? This should be made clear in the paperwork, which also had the wrong day for the bin, meaning we almost missed it! Overall though a great house, as described, peaceful and pretty location and a great place to relax.
