Our Self Catering House
We look forward to welcoming you to Halecat; our very special holiday house that will make you feel at home.
Halecat has been in the Stanley family since it was built in the early 1800's; all our furnishings are original, and give the house its unique personality. We promise you won't find a holiday home anywhere else like this.
Our generously sized house sleeps eleven in four very spacious bedrooms. (Although please talk to us if you need to squeeze in some little ones!) The original bathrooms have been retained and are part of the charm of staying, and you can't beat our loo for a view!
Halecat is a house made to be lived in; we know this because we spent our childhoods here. We don't mind you bringing muddy boots or happy dogs and we believe that your children were born to play outside.
But if the weather is bad and you want to stay in, you'll find squishy sofas, a library of books, a piano for family songs, board games and of course a warm hearth with a real fire.

Sitting RoomOur 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.

BedroomsYou 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. |
Kitchen and UtilitiesOur 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. |
