Number 43 ~ Cumbria

Our rating: ⋆ ⋆ ⋆ ⋆ ⋆ ⋆ ⋆ ⋆ ⋆ 

Arnside is a beautiful place to be, and Number 43 a perfect place to stay. Our room’s stunning; it’s a vast sea-facing double with sweeping panoramic views of the Morecambe Bay Estuary, a warm decor of calming biscuits and cream, with quirky little touches like a marble noughts and crosses board, flapjacks and more.

The Punch Bowl ~ Lake District

Our rating: ⋆ ⋆ ⋆ ⋆ ⋆ ⋆ ⋆ ⋆ ⋆ 

A sign by the door of The Punch Bowl advises that it is also the village post office – very Larkrise to Candleford; we’re beginning to feel like Pearl and Ruby Pratt – we can tell we’re going to like it here!

Our rating: ⋆ ⋆ ⋆ ⋆ ⋆ ⋆ ⋆ ⋆ ⋆

A combination of rural charm, urban style and plain good taste, packed with quirky features we love. And a 15m indoor swimming pool.
