  Fabulous location.

  The views from the front windows are fantastic it was great seeing the bore come in. Loved the bottle of fizz and complimentary teas & coffees. Very spacious, the facilities were all top notch and rooms tastefully decorated. The family bathroom is amazing. The kitchen was great to cook in. The people living downstairs were friendly and helpful. The walk starting just outside the door along the estuary I think we walked every day. Load of things to do and visit nearby. A walk away the fish and chip shop gets a 10/10,the Fighting Cock pub is worth a visit as are the little cafes along the promenade. The local Londis has everything you need. The owners were very quick to respond when I had a query. I would definitely book again. The kingsize bed was a little hard for me but that's a personal preference and the towels were a bit on the small size. Only one suggestion - have a poster at the bottom of the stair explaining the recycling and the collection dates. We missed the day 'cos we weren't sure and the bags were full to the brim from previous visitors. We took our recycling home.

  Really enjoyed my stay, my first visit to Arnside, so when the air raid siren went off on Saturday morning I had no idea what was going on.

  Had to google it to find out, I thought something serious was going off at one of the nuclear plants. Perhaps put an info sheet in a frame near kettle so it’s one of the first things you see on arrival. I saw it mentioned in the folder when I got round to reading it later that Saturday. I also struggled with the push button lock on the door at the carpark side, I only got it to work once then it wouldn’t do it again. Not really an issue for me as I preferred to use patio doors to front/kitchen. Prefer bath sheet to bath towel as a towel doesn’t wrap around fully, not sure if fan was working in bathroom as the front opened up but it didn’t make the sound of a fan and couldn’t see it turning round. Loved the milk, tea, coffee etc on arrival. It really is a lovely property in a perfect position, my first holiday after a very stressful 12 months and I really relaxed and enjoyed the scenery, the local shops & food and just sitting in the garden watching the sea and people go by. Many thanks, I’ll be back soon.

  Excellent views: whatever the weather, they were interesting & beautiful throughout.

  Facilities excellent, except that the heating varied from fairly warm to cold, and this prevented total comfort. I did not use the washing machine, the dishwasher, the grill, nor the oven, nor the microwave; certainly the facilities were there but cannot comment on the usage; the cooking rings were somewhat unpredictable & cooking was therefore not a quick & straight-forward process. Only used 1 bed (sea-blue room), wardrobes & hanging spaces in all. Very comfortable & slept particularly well. Bathroom: shower a delight (space & hot water).Good size for space/comfort. Would have preferred plastic chair to sit. Lounge very comfortable; TV excellent. Plenty of room. Steps/stairs: Considerable & extremely steep. I had requested a country cottage for gentle exercise! Basically, they were going to get rid of any problem or reduce me to hospital! With all the luggage to carry, I should have been notified, and I do not recall any advice in the advance details. Very pleasant family.

  Had a really great stay.

  Very comfortable, warm and cosy and lovely views. Well-equipped and set up with a Christmas tree and decs which really cheered us up. Right on the prom so could be noisy at the peak of summer. No lights on the prom when we stayed in December and it was pitch black, great for star gazing if you get a clear sky, so take a torch if you are going to be moving around in the evening. A visit to the chippy is a must, 5 mins walk and you can book a pick up slot. Coffee maker was a Nespresso Vertuo and we took the capsules for the Nespresso original. Couldn’t find any pods for the Vertuo locally in Tesco or Booths and couldn’t use the ones supplied as we only drink decaff but there was a small cafetiere we used so it wasn’t a problem. We bought a couple of coffees locally to give us our expresso fix. Good pies at the bakery. Wifi good, no DVD or CD player for us old fogies so we subscribed and used the smart tvs as it was winter and we were in a lot.

  Overall, the facilities are good, but there are a few issues.

  There needs to be a wastepaper bin in the lounge and bedrooms. One of the large dinner plates split in two when we were serving and a second one has a hairline crack in the same place, so that will split in the future. The shower ran at not much better than a trickle until I realised that all the rubber teats in the shower head were blocked with black gunge. I managed to clear a lot of them, but the shower head needs a serious clean, probably on a regular basis. The fan in the bathroom has a grill that is clogged with dirt and needs a really good clean. Everything else was fine, though there was a rogue car parked in the allocated parking space for a couple of days. Fortunately, one of the visitor bays was vacant so I was able to use that one.
