Venture further, where you can stop at the stunning Arnside & Silverdale AONB, a wildlife haven, where you will find the Lakeland Wildlife Oasis, RSPB Leighton Moss, and Grisedale Hide, or continue onto the Lake District National Park, where you can explore the fells, try your hand at watersports on Lake Windermere, explore a 2nd-century Roman Fort at Ambleside, and the former home of Wordsworth at Grasmere. All this and more awaits at 7 Yealands.
You've probably heard of Carnforth, a small town located off the M6 and 20 miles south of the beautiful Lake District. It is conveniently located on the northern tip of Morecambe Bay, north of the historic town of Lancaster, only 15 miles from the winding roads of the Yorkshire Dales, and just a hop, skip, and a jump from the Lake District. Greenlands Farm Village features shops selling handmade goods and regional foods, a children's section, a café, and a garden centre. Tidal sands surround the vast Morecambe Bay in this beautiful region just north of Carnforth. This wonderful part of Lancashire is perfect for long, relaxing strolls and animal watching.

The bathrooms are a quite small but well provided with shelves and nooks for storage. It is good that the heating can be set by the visitor to suit their own needs with the quick spurt of heat provided by the electric fire. We were disconcerted when the water went off but the owner quickly arranged for the on site plumber to visit - nothing to do with this property, the builders on the adjacent site had turned off the supply! Otherwise a good week. Steve

Luxurious lodge with all mod-cons including an air fryer and slow cooker. Welcome pack on arrival which lasted us throughout our visit, love the doggy treats as well. Lodge is spotlessly clean. Brought my Mum on holiday with us and she loved it - she said it is the best holiday accommodation she has stayed in. Will definitely be returning again next year.

It was extremely warm and comfortable and fitted out to a very high standard. My only recommendation if at all possible would be to fence across to the opposite Lodge front and rear so that your dog could be let into the grassed area without fear of them wandering off. My only complaint from our stay is the tree at the rear needs to have the branches trimmed off. The Sunday night of our holiday was extremely windy and the branches although only small were very loud on the roof top, so much so that it sounded as if the decking furniture was being moved about.
