Arnside is situated on the southernmost tip of the Lake District in a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, where low limestone hills, marshy plains and deciduous woodlands characterise the surrounding land. This former fishing port has retained many of the features from its past. The beautiful pier and port areas of the town offer stunning views across the Kent Estuary as well as providing an enduring reminder of Arnside's illustrious history. To the south of the town are the 15th Century Peel Towers, which were constructed to defend against the marauding Scots. The local surrounding area is a nature lover's paradise with stunning limestone pavements and wonderful woodland walks through countryside alive with rare plants, trees and wildlife. The internationally renowned Leighton Moss RSPB Reserve is also just one mile away. Guided walks across the Kent Estuary are available, showing the full splendour of the shore and surrounding area. Within easy touring distance are the Lake District and Lune Valley, the Yorkshire Dales and the Forest of Bowland.

Previous visitors' comments about Whinsfell:
Everything about the holiday was first class - great accomodation, super location and very helpful and friendly communication with the property owner. Highly recommended!
Dr Hunter, Ilkley, September 2011
We have stayed at Whinsfell on a few occasions now and always enjoy the holiday cottage. We love the view and the choice of being able to sit out in a garden also. The cottage is equipped with everything we need and we feel very comfortable there. We like being able to stroll down to the promenade so easily and all the different walks we can do from the property.
Mr Lofthouse, Shipley, August 2011
The position of the property and the fact that you had views of the River Kent Estuary. The property was exactly what we wanted and to have a lovely garden to sit in.
Mrs Haskell, Fareham, July 2011
The property has been really beautifully converted and we couldn't have been more comfortable.
