What our customers say about their holidays

  We really enjoyed our stay, although the neighbours were extremely difficult.

  When we arrived we pulled into the bay by the property to unload our belongings, a young woman from the house in front of the bay immediately came out and shouted at us, she also insulted me when I told her we were only unpacking our stuff, we didn’t plan on parking there. The lady at the back said there’s been a lot of bother from them; however they didn’t bother us again. Then my husband and I were in the kitchen with the door open at the back when a large dog came bounding through the door and tried to attack me, my husband threw water on it and was able to intimidate the dog so that it moved and we managed to barricade ourselves behind the back door until finally my husband closed the door. I was quite shaken by the experience. My husband shouted through the window for the neighbour at the end to get his dog- he didn’t and it continued to bark aggressively at us from behind the door; bearing its teeth and ready to attack when we tried to open/close the door window to shout to the man. He was actually hiding behind his gate as we could see him ducking behind the door. I’m concerned that if I had have been a child or my new 12 week old puppy- this would have been a sad story. I loved the cottage though, so beautiful, comfortable and clean. I would say that I wouldn’t take children or elderly people, just in case. Unless the problem is resolved but how could you resolve this? I would not allow this to stop you renting this property- it really is that good, just be careful about the parking and be careful in the shared backyard where there’s no gate between you and the end neighbours with the dog. (The neighbour has a gate but he’d obviously opened it to let his dog out). Ok, so the garden is absolutely gorgeous, very quirky set up on two/three levels. Lovely lady lives next door feeds the seagulls everyday, be careful there’s loads of them that flock there- not a problem for us as we weren’t home in the morning. BBQ area is pleasantly arranged and plenty of seating and cushions. The lights didn’t work when we were there, but we weren’t in the garden late anyway. Overall I would stay here again because it felt very homely, but I’d be extremely careful out the back door in the communal yard part. We never saw the dog before or after it attacked us. There is a gate on the main garden and it’s one step from the back door. Just be careful as you always are in public areas. And don’t speak to the house on the left of the property, very rude. The heating was perfect, bedding ok, decor and condition of the place was just right and spotlessly clean. In a near perfect location. Two large Terraces that look across the bay- stunning. Thanks again.

  This house is beautifully presented, absolutely immaculately clean and very comfortable for 2-4 guests.

  We were let down with another place in the peaks right at the last minute, so ended up booking this the same afternoon and headed straight there. On arrival, there was a welcome pack with essentials like tea, coffee, milk sachets, biscuits, though were surprised to a bottle of wine too. The kitchen is very well stocked, even supplying things you wouldn’t expect like sandwich bags, tin foil and kitchen roll. The property is super pet friendly, with an array of pet supplies like bowls in different sizes and dog mess bags. The garden is very secure and safe for pets, and I think the artificial grass is a good call for the hire market as it’s easier to maintain for both owner and guest. There was one mess in the back garden when we arrived, but I honestly think it was a cat rather than an oversight of the owner. The care and attention of the owners comes across with a welcome manual, intricate details often missed in rentals and the additional facilities such as an air fryer, outdoor furniture and Netflix accounts on the 3 tvs! Morecambe is also pleasant with good hearted people, including the next door neighbours. There are ponies in the field next to the property, they really appreciate carrots and apples, we made very good friends with them. There is only one small thing we think could be improved and that’s the mattresses, they’re very average in quality and not in keeping with the rest of the property. You can still get a good sleep, but if they were changed for something more plush then this would be a 5* property with no flaws whatsoever. Thank you for a wonderful stay :)

  Lovely little house in a nice quiet area, at the back are lots of lovely walks for miles.

  (Just look on google maps) Fabulous garden for our dogs. You think it would be noisy as on the back of a housing estate but it's not at all, very peaceful and the house is next to large fields with horses. House very clean and has everything you need (Even the air fryer- whoop). We will return as easy access to lakes from here, Kendal 35 mins etc so a great base and the prom is fab to walk dogs too. We would happily book again, only consideration for us the garden set was missing a parasol for garden (It was very sunny so we could not sit out long without shade). Thanks would recommend

  This is a lovely home and it made our weekend away more enjoyable.

  When you walk in, it smelt beautiful and was tidy as well as nicely laid out. The little box of coffee, tea etc was very much welcome after travelling. The kitchen is well stocked with equipment / everything needed to cook for yourselves - and its not too far from shops like Lidl. There is a lovely patio to sit out in an evening, and it was so peaceful even with the Shetland ponies next door. The garden is very secure for any dogs on holiday and plenty to explore around. You can tell alot of effort has gone into making the house into a home away from home,

  We were very pleased with this house.

  It was clean and well equipped. Being on a housing estate, it was necessary to drive when going out. Heysham and Arnside were lovely for the coast. The pier at Morecambe was well designed. There are sandy areas, but dangerous incoming tides all along that coast. The forest of Boland was within driving distance. Kirkby Lonsdale a delightful tradition town with a walk down to the river. The highlight for us was driving to the lake distict (an hour or so). In the summer, arrive before 9.30am to get parking in Ambleside, Bowness, Keswick or Kendal, Aera Falls etc
