  • "We had another lovely break at Wyreside Hall cottages, last we stayed at Elsa, this year at Bilbo."

    The cottages was spotlessly clean, warm, comfortable and well equipped. We loved walking through the grounds, very peaceful, picturesque and saw lots of wildlife. Our dog had a great time running around. The accommodation was fantastic and easy to keep clean with hard flooring throughout. Lots to see and do in the surrounding area too. Hope to come back next year. Thank you

  • "Our stay at Bilbo was excellent."

    The cottage was lovely and met all our needs apart from the washing machine, which was in another building and which we couldn’t find. The layout of Bilbo was absolutely perfect for us and the rear garden was really peaceful and conducive to reading. There were many places of interest to visit and an excellent pub, The Fleece, just half a mile away. We would definitely consider staying in one of the cottages again. Thank you for a most enjoyable experience.

About the location

LANCASTER

Morecambe 3 miles; Windermere 30 miles; Blackpool 37 miles.

The historic city of Lancaster sits on edge of Morecambe Bay, the sea is barely 3 miles away. Equally, Lancaster is perfect if you’re looking to explore the Lake District, Windermere is just 30 miles away.

The tidal River Lune flows through the city and St George’s Quay, with its elegant Georgian warehouses standing eave to eave on the riverfront, is considered to be the finest example of an original 18th Century port anywhere in the country.

Indeed, Lancaster retains many examples of handsome Georgian architecture and the area around the castle, particularly Castle Hill, Castle Park and Nip Hill are considered its most alluring quarter.

Lancaster’s skyline is dominated by the Ashton Memorial, made of white Portland stone and dedicated to the second wife of millionaire industrialist, Lord Ashton, it’s built in Neo-Baroque style and affords spectacular views of Morecambe bay from its hilltop location in Williamson Park, open-air concerts are held throughout the summer in the park.

Foremost among Lancaster’s clutch of museums, the Maritime Museum is the place to get to grips with Lancaster’s role in the unsavoury slave trade, behind only London, Bristol and Liverpool, Lancaster was the fourth largest city engaged in the 18th Century trade of African slaves across the Atlantic.

In addition to the Lake District, some of northern England’s greatest scenery is right on your doorstep: the Forest of Bowland, the Yorkshire Dales National Park and the Arnside & Silverdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, all easily accessible, offer the perfect opportunity to discover nature in the raw. And don’t forget, Lancaster’s location on the West Coast Mainline, means there are direct trains to all parts of the country.
