With numerous walks from the front door, there’s something for everyone, from a flat stroll along the beach, to a more energetic hike up The Knott and beyond. The whole of the Lake District beckons with country walks, waterside picnics, historic attractions and so much more. Closer to home is Holgates Leisure pool and gym, Wildlife Oasis and Sizergh Castle (NT) and Levens Hall. With excellent rail links in the village, why not visit the internationally renowned Leighton Moss RSPB Reserve, while further afield you have Grange-Over-Sands, Ulverston or Lancaster with their shops, castles, museums and galleries. You may even decide to arrive by rail – the property is only a 15-minute walk from the station. This top-quality accommodation enjoys a glorious position and provides a very special experience.
