New Properties in Carnforth - Apartments and Cottages

Marina Apartments and Cottages - New Properties in Carnforth on the Lancashire and Cumbria Border

 
 

Marina Cottages overlook Tewitfield Lock on the Lancaster Canal which uniquely follows the natural lie of the land and has the longest stretch of canal in the country without a lock. A waterbus now runs on the canal during the summer months, reviving a 200 year old tradition, and a day out at Carnforth and Lancaster is a leisurely cruise away.

 
Situated on the Lancashire and Cumbria border, these units provide a great base to explore between these counties. It is only a short 15 - 20 mile drive to get to Kendal or Windermere or you could go in other directions to either Lancaster, Morecambe Bay or even the Yorkshire Dales. Ideally situated for a very full packed adventurous holiday. The units overlook the marina and you can chose between ground or first floor. Each will have either a terrace or balcony to give you the felling of privacy. All properties are 5*.
 
 
The accommodation is a selection of apartments and townhouses overlooking the marina and range from 1 – 3 bedroomed accommodation. The cottages are all of a 5 Star standard and have been furnished and equipped to the highest standard offering you a luxurious home from home ambience.

Morning Mist on the way to work

Picture of the Morning Mist - Portinscale

 
On my way to work, yes I have to work on a Sunday!! I know you are all so lucky.
 
Thought you might like to see just how beautiful the Lake District can be early in the morning on a crisp winter day. I was even treated to sunshine.
 


Today is turning out to be a fantastic day for a trip to the lakes, make sure to dress warmly as it is still quite nippy out.
 

Enjoy your day from the Cottage Holiday Group :-))
