The town's old buildings and narrow streets, which speak of a time when a coach and four was more typical than a four-wheel drive, may still be found today. The Lakeland Wildlife Oasis, which is located in a gorgeous, undulating landscape, has a lot to offer, including a tropical hall and a butterfly house. Visitors can enjoy a wonderful day out visiting the historic and gorgeous stately houses Dallam Tower and Levens Hall, which have deer parks, topiaries, and decorative gardens.

The fixtures and fittings were brilliant and it was extremely comfortable. The kitchen was fully stocked with utensils and pans (unlike other stays we have had elsewhere) and the facilities were excellent. The location was perfect with the lake District on your doorstep. I would definitely recommend staying here and we will look to book again in the future.

In fact, it's luxurious. The garden is lovely and parking is perfect, right outside the door. Janet has truly created a haven. Billy, the dog, was made really welcome, with treats, bowls and spare lead; he really chilled out. We had a spectacular time, in a beautiful location; close enough to smell the sea and to walk a mountain. Thank you, Janet.
