Guests say
Lakeland View is a beautifully situated cottage offering stunning countryside and bay views, perfect for a peaceful getaway. Guests consistently praise its cleanliness, comfort, and tranquil setting, with easy access to Lancaster and local attractions. The property is well-equipped and dog-friendly, with a secure courtyard and ample parking. While the rural location means a short drive to shops and a steep approach road, the serene atmosphere and spectacular sunsets more than compensate. Some minor issues were noted, such as barking dogs at night, a firm bed, and a few missing kitchen utensils, but overall, the experience is highly recommended.

A lovely, comfortable, cosy property equipped with all the essentials. You have to drive up a steep, winding single-track road to get there, and the nearest shops are a 10-minute drive away, but when you arrive at the property you are rewarded with a wonderful view towards Morecambe Bay.

We had a great weekend at Lakeland View. We loved the accommodation which was ideal for husband, myself and the dog. The kitchen facilities had everything you need. Great views from the property and amazing sunsets. The property is ideally situated to Lancaster where we had a lovely day out and we also spent a great day in Skipton. Will definitely stay in the cottage again.
