Known locally for its tasty home-grown produce, this small town offers a warm welcome and a wealth of specialist and individual shops where you can pick up a number of treats; don't miss the local cheesemongers for a wedge of fine Lancashire cheese! The street market is held every Thursday, another exciting shopping treat. Running right through the centre of the town is the peaceful Lancaster Canal, where you can watch the passing canal boats cruise by and enjoy the abundance of wildlife it supports. The nearby Millennium Green, an area situated on the western bank of the River Wyre, has actually been designated for wildlife conservation and events in the community.

The surrounding countryside provides great walking opportunities, whilst the rspb nature reserves at Leighton Moss and Morecambe Bay are well worth a visit.

It mentioned a dish washer, a nespresso coffee machine and a smart tv with Disney+ none of which were available. The hot tub was unusable after the first couple of days as the water was dirty and smelly. We tested the water and there was no chlorine in it! We tried to contact the owners several times and had no success. The beds were very comfortable though and despite the cottage we had a lovely holiday.

The directions were not the clearest and the location / cottage isnât sing posted from the roadside The contact numbers listed in the email were useless as nobody answered the phone The cleanliness of the cottage was substandard with cobwebs and grime in every room The hot tub was un useable - we used it once and got out because the water smelt horrific I didnât believe I received value for money on this trip and on the whole was very disappointed
