Great location for exploring the southern Lake District and surrounding area. Also perfect to catch the train into Lancaster or along the coast . Also we'll equipped for a rainy day indoors , reading, games and jigsaws etc... A family holiday for all ages.

Unfortunately for us as we booked a midweek break in October there was nowhere local to eat at night other than a fish and chip shop in the next village. The local pub was very quiet. We took 2 dogs so the lack of a garden was a problem.

This is a perfect location to get to the lakes and lovely surrounding villages. Two minute walk to the train station so perfect if you want to leave the car at home. Would definitely recommend!
