  • "A wonderful house that has been refurbished with flair, and with warmth and comfort to the fore."

    A beautiful bath (I am not a shower person) with views! And what views! I know the area from 20-30 years ago but have not been back until now. How lovely to have window seats…..again those views. And an Aga! I know from experience how chilly it can get in The Pennines and May is often a particularly unpredictable time. The Aga was a special bonus. Plenty of space for parking next to the property; that is an essential requirement for me. And a generous welcome hamper of “goodies”! Ian and Jill are to be congratulated on creating such a delightful and welcoming property. Ann

  • "A glorious farmhouse and our stay far exceeded expectations."

    The property was modern, well designed and excellently equipped. Outside, the uninterrupted glorious views must rate as some of the best in Britain: to the west the Lake District, to the East, the three great peaks of the Yorkshire Dales. To cap it all, fabulously friendly hosts. Overall, what a find!

    The house is beautifully decorated with stunning views and a lovely interior. The location seems remote but is within easy access of Lancaster, Kirkby Lonsdale, Settle and many other places. We got the opportunity to meet some of the lambs and our children adored playing with Pip and Dot- the farm dogs. They have already been asking when we are going back- a real hit with the whole family.

Lanshaw House, a three-bedroom detached house in Lowgill Lancashire is the perfect place for a family or group of friends to enjoy the countryside and get an authentic taste of England.

Enjoying views of the countryside and off-road parking, you'll be able to get out into nature whenever you like and take in the scenery from the comfort of the property's own patio area.

Arriving at the cottage, four steps up lead you into the kitchen/diner, home to an AGA cooker, a dishwasher, a window seat, and dining seating for the whole family.

Character features continue through the property and into the sitting room, which is furnished with a TV and a woodburning stove.

Finishing off the ground floor is a handy space with a washing machine and tumble dryer where you can freshen up your clothes, and a ground-floor shower room, fitted with a walk-in shower.

Further afield, Morecambe rests on the Lancashire coast, located on the estuary of the River Lune and is bounded to the north by the Cumbrian mountains.

The town was once a thriving seaside resort and is now a popular tourist destination with attractions including Lancaster Castle, Happy Mount Park, and Lancaster City Museum.
