Located on the southernmost tip of the Lake District, Arnside is surrounded by low limestone hills, marshy plains, and deciduous woodlands, all of which have been declared as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. This town, once used as a fishing harbour, has preserved many of its historic buildings. With its picturesque pier and harbour, the community of Arnside serves as a constant reminder of the town's distinguished past while also giving breathtaking views of the Kent Estuary. The Pele Towers, built to ward off raiding Scots in the 15th century, may be found to the south of the hamlet. Limestone pavements and beautiful woodland treks through landscapes teeming with unusual plants, trees, and wildlife make the immediate area a veritable paradise for ecotourists. You may also get to the world-famous Leighton Moss rspb Reserve in less than two kilometres. There are guided treks that span the Kent Estuary and reveal the area's full beauty. The Forest of Bowland, Yorkshire Dales, and Lake District are all within a day trip's drive.

Good access to local facilities especially the rail service for non car users. Set in a stunning location. Will return in all probability

Great location, across the road from the station. Very well laid out and modern accommodation. Comfortable, clean and with every comfort. Nice and quiet just a short walk from Arnsides promenade. Only negative comment has to be, the allocated parking which can only be described as silly, with the passenger side of the car against the wall, leaving the drivers side parked on double yellows. This was made even more uncomfortable, by an unfriendly neighbour who insists you stick rigidly to your alloted space, to the inch.

) However we were not disturbed at all by noise from the trains due to the efficient double glazing. The property was spotlessly clean and beautifully furbished with comfortable beds - thank you a great short break.
