“Cottage was a new listing but was immaculate.”

The grounds were very picturesque and a great setting. Still a bit of work going on at the main hall / house and some of the ground but would definitely book again to go there if we go back to that area.

“You did not inform the owner of my arrival.”

So when I telephoned to say I was on my way. The owner had been told I was not booking so was unitially thrown off guard when I said I was about 45 minutes away. That was an arrival around 6pm. The property is available from 3pm. This is Skyes fault not ofcourse the Owners of Balloo. However the property was made ready but I imagine they had a rush due to being incorrectly informed by yourselves. Out of 3 staff at Skyes two where very helpful but a third member of staff repeatidly telephoned myself after an initial enquiry and was quite pushy which almost caused myself to not book. I however wished to stay at Balloo so did book. But with a different member of staff who was helpful friendly and not pushy! It makes a big difference.. Sincerely Jane Deborah Burke.

“This is a lovely cottage.”

It could benefit from some personal touches (pictures on the walls and bedside tables) but otherwise we really enjoyed our five day break. We will be back..definitely. The owners went above and beyond to ensure we enjoyed our stay including posting items we left in the cottage.

About the location

LANCASTER

Morecambe 5 miles; Kendal 21 miles; Windermere 38 miles.

The historic city of Lancaster sits on edge of Morecambe Bay, with the River Lune flowing through its centre. Lancaster retains many excellent examples of handsome Georgian architecture, and with its captivating medieval castle, Ashton Memorial, and four museums, it’s an interesting place for those in search of history and tales of the past. Among the many amenities, there are two venues for live performances, the Lancaster Grand Theatre and the Dukes, as well as open-air concerts held frequently in the pretty Williamson Park during the summer season. The Forest of Bowland and The Arnside & Silverdale Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty provide visitors with lots of opportunities to take in the flora and fauna of the area, with wonderful walking and cycling ways to enjoy. There are also good road and rail links into Cumbria and beyond, meaning Lancaster is a wonderful base for also exploring the Lake District.
