Spoilt for choice as to great walks pubs cafes or even a canal trip all within walking distance . Explore further to historic lancaster , art deco morecambe or brash blackpool , even easier with a regular bus to the front door ! We even got as far as the lakes by bus , so scenic even just locally. Market day thursday and posh supermarket booths ensured we were well fed and watered with local treats . The cleaner is amazing the place looks like new
