For a break from cooking, the Longlands Hotel, adjacent to the marina, has a restaurant and bar. Don’t miss a day at Morecambe Bay for coastal walks, bird watching, and traditional seaside fun.

Fantastic apartment. Clean and comfortable with lovely views over the marina from your terrace. Having the pub so near serving good food and with nice beer garden is a plus, the farm shop just over the road and bus stop right outside the pub taking you to Kendal or Lancaster, makes this an ideal place to stay. Hope to return.

We had a lovely week and despite several cloudy days we were glad to get away from the heatwave! We went out every day and nowhere was more than 1/2 hour drive. The bus stop outside was handy and we ate twice at the marina hotel. Sunday lunch was fab! The apartment was very comfortable and had everything you’d need. Whilst the motorway was close, we slept with the bedroom window open as it was warm, you could not hear the motorway from there. The apartment is in the best place getting the afternoon/evening sun.
