We had a really lovely stay in Jane and Gareth's property. The cottage has such a homely feel with lots of additional touches - books, games, hairdryers, well equipped kitchen, plenty of storage.It is in a great location, easy transport links to be able to visit the Lake District, Yorkshire, Lancashire etc. The view over the marina and up the canal towpath is an added bonus.The only thing I would say is that the cottage is located right next to the M6 so there is a lot of noise from the traffic at all times of the day and night. Due to the time of year, we had doors and windows closed most of the time so it wasn't too bad, but I would imagine it would be quite disruptive during the summer months.We will definitely be returning again!

Had a most enjoyable week at this comfortable and well equipped accommodation. The marina itself is very pleasant and immaculately maintained. Loved sitting outside and watching the comings and goings on the marina as well as enjoyable walks along the canal. The property is well situated for visiting other towns and villages such as Arnside, Kirkby Lonsdale and Kendal. The Longlands pub is a couple of minutes walk and serves excellent food and drinks at reasonable prices. Would definitely recommend !
