About this place

Walk to city shops, cafes bars & theatres in minutes, short ride to the coast, countryside & lakes.

Come and enjoy staying in Lancaster’s historic conservation area and enjoy this quiet, elegant area, whilst being close to railways and bus stations, moments from Lancaster’s bustling centre, and yet have the rich local countryside, dramatic coastline and southern Lake District just a short ride away.

Our spacious flat sits in a historic building but has all the modern comforts you’d expect to feel at home. The place works well for singles, couples, colleagues or friends who are looking to be in a quiet peaceful neighbourhood (and who are similarly peaceful and respectful - this is the wrong place if you plan to party!) whether visiting Lancaster for business, family catch-ups, or a holiday.

We accept non-smokers only, and while we can’t accommodate young children, we welcome people travelling with a well behaved child of nine years or older. Sorry, strictly no pets admitted.

You’ll enjoy sole use of the entire flat, including:

- Two bedrooms: full access to a large comfortable double bedroom, and a second small room with a narrow but full length single bed;

- Fully equipped kitchen that also has informal dining space for two;

- Spacious lounge with comfy seating, and a dining area;

- bathroom: with bath, shower (over) toilet.

All bedding and towels are provided.

Please note that access to our property is via a steep, cobbled lane, and is on the top floor of an old building. We have a flight of stairs to our front door, and unfortunately have no lift, so please be sure that we are the right and safe choice for all in your group.

When agreeing a stay, we like to know a little about the people to whom we’re handing over the keys, so, when you enquire to book, please include a little information about yourself (and anyone else in your group), perhaps let us know for instance what’s bringing you to Lancaster, whether you’ve been before or maybe this is your first trip here? Also, please confirm you’ve taken a good look through the details of the listing and that you are happy with our house rules, and finally, you must confirm that all guests are non-smokers.

After 30 years in the NHS (an occupational therapist) I now have more time to welcome guests to our flat, enjoy seeing people enjoying our lovely city, and also have much more time to play music, enjoy our garden, and do my own travelling (with my husband). I can help you get the most from your stay in Lancaster by giving you the local insights, and my husband is very knowledgeable about Lancaster

Getting around

You’ll find us minutes walk from Lancaster railway, and five minutes - in the opposite direction - from the bus station, so getting here, and travelling about is easy and convenient. The city itself is compact and is best explored on foot! If you do bring a car, parking an be at a premium, but with planning can be easily and economically arranged. Let me know if you are bringing a car and I’ll send specific advice.
