The property is well located for an easy drive to Lancaster and just beyond to Morecambe. The on-site garden centre was lovely and a nice place to get a coffee (our 7yo loved playing with the resident cats!). The property was comfortable and clean (though as a barn conversion in the middle of the countryside, you do need to overlook the odd cobweb or two) but it was a shame that the grass in the enclosed garden hadn't been cut which meant we didn't make the most of the space. Agree with other reviews that the towels are on the small side and the Wifi is a bit patchy... not deal breakers, but should be quick-fixes to improve the guest experience.
