We can highly recommend this property that was clean, comfortable and had plenty of room for all. Great location for local shops and cafes and within easy reach of many attractions in the area. Sarah and Richard were very friendly leaving us some lovely treats to start our holiday with and we would definitely like to return to Hillberry.

Very useful having the small TV lounge with lots of DVDs, kept the children well entertained and allowed the adults a little bit of adult time. Well equipped kitchen. Owners very friendly and welcomed us to the property. Grange is a lovely little town. Would recommend. Children enjoyed the walks on the prom and the playground. Can recommend The Commodore Inn and the At Home cafe, lovely food. Plenty of good shops to browse in too. Would recommend Hillberry to anyone. Fantastic views of the estuary from the upper floors. We didn't explore much of the Lake District this time but very easy access if you want to do that. We used the train to visit Lancaster and the castle and went to the Lakes aquarium.
