    “What a beautiful place to stay, relax with friends and family in a home from home.”

    It's our 4th time staying here and we just LOVE it. The cottage is spacious, with all the amenities to make your stay wonderful. Despite It's size the cottage is warm and cos, light that log burner and relax with a glass of wine. Every room has a wonderful view across fields and the garden.

    It's our 4th time staying here and we just LOVE it. The cottage is spacious, with all the amenities to make your stay wonderful. Despite It's size the cottage is warm and cos, light that log burner and relax with a glass of wine. Every room has a wonderful view across fields and the garden. The lane is quiet, so if you want to make a noise, no one will hear you. The owner, Julie is lovely, she'll pop by to make sure you're all settled in. You are welcomed as you come into the kitchen with a complimentary bottle of wine, milk, eggs and lovely flowers. The WIFI is good too. Plenty of lovely walks, there's some shops in the village and your not far from all the great places to visit. I've already booked for next February. I've only ever stayed in winter, but I can image being there in summer, the garden is lovely and a relax in the hot tub would make a perfect end to a summer's day. Honestly, this place is a MUST to stay.

About the location

FLOOKBURGH

Cartmel 2 miles; Grange-over-Sands 3 miles.

A superb base to explore this interesting and beautiful area, the historic village of Flookburgh is set near the shores of Morecambe Bay on the outskirts of the magnificent Lake District. It is thought that the locally-caught Fluke fish take their name after the village, and once, Flookburgh was a popular resting point for travellers crossing the sands from Lancaster and still provides a home for cockle and shrimp fishers. Facilities in the village include two pubs, a grocery, a chemist, a Post Office and two food outlets. The Cumbrian Coastal Way footpath passes nearby and a short walk away from the village is delightful countryside, such as Humphrey Head, views of the bay, with its wading bird life, and Coniston's mountain range. A few minutes’ drive or a pleasant off road walk leads to historic Cartmel, with its beautiful Priory, popular race course, antique and gift shops, pubs and restaurants; including the Michelin Star-rated L’Enclume. Just over a mile away you will find the beautiful house and gardens of Holker Hall and also nearby you can try horse riding just six miles to the north at Bigland, or visit the Edwardian resort of Grange, which offers a range of hotels, restaurants, shops, a traffic-free promenade, ornamental gardens and golf courses.
