In Heysham, you will also find your nearest conveniences including a shop and a pub where you can stock up on the essentials or indulge a cold beverage.

Although old and quirky, every mod con was available. The cottage is very cosy and comfortable and even as it is just off the main road there was no road noise at all. The garden was great for the dog safe and secure (although she did try and chase the neighbours cats - neighbours are lovely â¤ï¸) Had to say never cooked once - there are great cafes and The Royal was our local for dinner and drinks!
