Halecat

You can see for miles from our bedrooms over Arnside and Morecambe Bay and the one thing we can promise is a good night's sleep. There are three doubles and one roomy single bedroom. Our bedrooms are large, with high ceilings and plenty of room for extra beds if you want to turn a double into a family room. Two of the bedrooms have en suite bathrooms with cast iron baths and original WC. 

A third bathroom, across the landing, is an ideal family bathroom. Large towels are provided, but don't forget to bring your own rubber duck!

The plumbing is original, so can be a little quirky at times, but it is powered sustainably by a brand new biomass boiler, (with as much hot water as you can handle) and there is central heating throughout.

We are very proud of our dining room and have had many a happy celebration here ourselves. There's room for fifteen around the table if you want to create a formal atmosphere and dress up and dine in style. You'll also find that the room gets plenty of sunlight, so you can look like the perfect family over your cornflakes in the morning.

Our sitting room is probably the main place you will relax as a guest at Halecat; when you aren't out enjoying the fresh air. It is comfortable and light in summer, with doors that open out onto the terrace and lovely views of the garden. Meanwhile on those dark winter evenings you can close the shutters, get a real fire going, put on a CD, the TV, or a DVD. Or you can keep them turned off and enjoy each others company. The old fashioned way.

Our kitchen is fitted out with everything you need for self catering including electric 6 hob, double oven and microwave. And you'll never be short of a teapot at Halecat!

You just need to provide the food, the drink and the good company. We encourage you to recycle wherever possible and provide the facilities to do this. A separate utility room upstairs houses a washing machine and dryer.

Our kitchen is airy and light and there is plenty of room to prepare a meal while you catch up on what's happened since you last saw each other. Halecat still has its quirky style, with original plumbing, heated by a brand new biomass boiler.

The entrance is through double doors into a bright lobby with mosaic floor, leading to a magnificent open double height hall with grand staircase.

The gardens were meticulously designed by the late Fortune Stanley, who was heavily influenced by the garden of her girlhood at Ardtornish in Argyll

They are particularly renowned for their rare varieties of roses and are open to the public during the day. The Summer House is especially peaceful. And we insist you have a game of croquet or football on the lawn when the sun is out.

Halecat has 4 bedrooms (2 kingsize rooms 1 double room and 1 large twin)  We also have 3 extra z beds and a travel cot available.  The larger bedrooms are suitable  for extra beds to be set up.  So we can sleep 11 guests all together.

The accommodation is self-contained and consists of the entire house.

As it is self catering there are no meals available

There is a small step going into the house through the main front door but the doors are double doors and can fit a wheelchair through.

There is a ground floor loo in the front porch.

We are pet friendly and accept 2 well behaved dogs as long as they are kept in a crate.  Please note pets aren’t allowed upstairs and cannot be left in the house when nobody is in.
