Lakes meet the sea, on the beautiful Furness Peninsula.
The splendour of the Lake District is just a short step
away and the train journey to reach us, around Morecambe
Bay, must rank as one of the most beautiful in England.

bowling alley and leisure centre and a
swimming pool just some of the local amenities..
