Nestled in the heart of Cains Brewery Village in Liverpool’s vibrant Baltic Triangle is a private stay that has been selling out for weeks. Just moments from popular spots including BOXPARK, Baltic Market, Content and Red Brick Market, guests will find The Baltic Cabin and Caravan.
Located at the centre of one of Liverpool’s busiest entertainment hubs, both stays offer visitors the chance to immerse themselves in the city’s lively social scene. They are among a number of Airbnb properties across Liverpool owned and operated by Craig Passey.
The cabin and caravan are not new additions to the area, having previously been owned by neighbouring bar Hippie Chic. They have occupied their current home since 2020.
However, Craig, 37, from Mossley Hill, told the ECHO that both properties have recently relaunched following a massive refurbishment. He said: “I’ve got the cabin and the caravan, and I’ve got about 15 apartments in the city centre. My journey with them all started really because I knew people who were already doing it, and so I had quite a few contacts in the industry. It all started rolling from there.
“We’ve carried out extensive work on both the cabin and the caravan. I think I’ve spent around £30,000 on them to get them up to a proper compliance standard. Everything’s been upgraded – painted, fire-coated, everything.
“It’s got everything there. They’ve got everything you’d need in a household flat. Given the location, it’s ideal for weekends if someone’s going out in the city centre. It’s quite loud on weekends, which all guests are fully aware of before they book – it’s all on our listings regarding noise.

“Earplugs are provided too – good-quality disposable ones. But from Monday to Thursday it’s fairly quiet, so it’s a double-edged sword really.”
The newly refurbished sites have been reopened for around six weeks now, with Craig claiming most weeks are fully booked. The response has been so great, that Craig has much bigger plans for the longer term.
He said: “If there’s any more land available that we can lease in Cains Brewery Village, we’d hopefully like to grow and add more cabins – almost like a glamping village. It would be subject to planning permission, of course, but it would be cool to have our own base there.

“That’s hopefully the end goal, but it depends on other venues on site terminating their leases. If it happens, it happens, but for now, we are going to make the most of the Baltic Triangle train station and the work surrounding it. There’ll be a lot more foot traffic with it.”
During the week, Craig said it is usually priced at around £100 per night. On weekends, depending on what’s on, he said it can be around £300 on a Saturday for the cabin and £400 for the caravan.
