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

There’s room for fifteen around the table in the dining room 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.   

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.

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

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 gazebo is especially
peaceful; croquet and football are often played
on the main lawn.
