Tucked away on the popular South Lakeland Holiday Village in Carnforth, Lancashire, is this superb two-bedroom lodge, Lakeside 12. Enjoying a fabulous setting with views over the lake and within easy reach of the Lake District National Park, Lakeside 12 is a fabulous pet-friendly choice for couples or a family of four. The property benefits from off-road parking for two cars, a private decked area with furniture, and access to the site’s excellent facilities, including fishing, a gym, indoor swimming pool, and bar and restaurant. Inside, you will find a well-equipped kitchen/diner, where you can rustle up tasty dishes ready to savour at the dining table for four as you recount the days adventures. Continue through to find a well-appointed bathroom, where you can indulge in a leisurely soak in the bath or freshen up under the overhead shower. When sleep calls, two beautifully presented bedrooms await, a double with en-suite shower room and a twin, both with gorgeous feature walls and plenty of storage. Head into Carnforth for your local amenities, where you can treat your loved ones to a well-deserved meal at The County Lodge & Brasserie, Taps on the Green, The Canal Turn and fresh fish and chips from Highfield Fisheries, stock up on essentials at the convenience store, and tour the Carnforth Railway Heritage Centre, well-known for its appearance in the film, A Brief Encounter. Capernwray rests nearby, where you can explore the waters depths at the Capernwray Diving Centre and indulge in a sweet treat at The New England Tearoom & Shop, or venture further to the Arnside & Silverdale AONB, where you’ll find beautiful beaches, the Gait Barrows National Nature Reserve and the Lakeland Wildlife Oasis. Further afield, you’ll find the Lake District National Park, where you can enjoy scenic hikes, bike rides and climbing fells, watersports on the famous Lake Windermere, a fascinating 2nd-century Roman Fort at Ambleside, and tour the former home of William Wordsworth in Grasmere. All this and more awaits at Lakeside 12.

Carnforth is the type of location everyone has heard of, and many wish to discover, because it is situated just off the M6 and 20 miles south of the gorgeous Lake District. Located at the head of Morecambe Bay, north of Lancaster, 15 miles from the winding roads of the Yorkshire Dales, and only a hop, skip, and a jump from the Lake District, this location is convenient to all points in the region. Greenlands Farm Village features shops selling handmade goods and regional foods, a children's section, a café, and a garden centre. Beautiful Morecambe Bay may be found immediately to the north of Carnforth, with its expansive tidal dunes. There are many wonderful places to go for walks and to see the indigenous flora and fauna in this magnificent part of Lancashire. It would be a shame to miss out on seeing the charming mediaeval market town of Kirkby Lonsdale.
