35 and following the instructions from Sykes Cottages we found ourselves at a Park Site which was not Borwick Lakes. If you are travelling from the South take the second island from the M6 and NOT the FIRST as stated in the directions from Sykes Cottages. The site was pleasant with two small lakes but could be improved by proper landscaping being completed. The location of the home is really nice as it is at the end of a row of other homes so has nobody at the one side of you. Parking is very easy and convenient The accommodation is a little tight in the second bedroom for two adults - indeed a tad tight for one adult - but overall the space was enough for three of us to move around the home. The second bedroom would probably benefit from just one bed but no doubt that would deter families from booking the accommodation. The unit was well equipped and had everything that we required for a weeks stay. We arrived at 6.30pm on the site and decided to have fish and chips as a quick meal having travelled six hours to arrive at Carnforth on a busy Bank Holliday Friday - BE WARNED all fish and chip shops in Carnforth close at 7.30 on a Friday evening. We tried 3 after visiting the website for local fish and chip shops. We finished up with a ghastly chicken burger and chips from a local shop in Carnforth centre near the railway station - never ever again !!!. Good restaurants we found were the Cross Keys (Chef and Brewer, Main Road Lancaster LA2 6AU) about 4 miles from Carnforth and the Longlands Restaurant at Tewitfield (LA6 1JH) - literally 4 mins drive away. Trungs Chinese restaurant at Main Road Bolton le Sands - about 4 miles from the site is also worth visiting. There are so many places to visit near to and a little further away from Carnforth that it is a good area to stay and explore from. Three major supermarkets in Carnforth - Tesco Aldi and Booths(Waitrose of the North) ensure that you always have access to everyday fresh food and requirements. There is also a Sainsburys main store at Lancaster, not that far away at all. Overall, a very happy experience for our week in the Lake District - well just below the Lakes and therefore a little cheaper than being in the National Park area. A must visit place when in Keswick is Brysons Tearooms, pure old fashioned service and such good food.

Normally when dogs are allowed you get a lower standard of accommodation, but in this case that wasn't true. It was spotless and the furnishings were lovely. The static was right at the end the row, so we got to see the Rabbits in the hedges on a morning. We also watched the ducks marching single file from the lakes. Would definitely recommend.
