Newest Review: ... as we stayed half board we did not eat out. There are plenty of shops, cafes and public transport is excellent, even if you wish to tour Windermere etc. As for nightlife, we had an excellent time, on the Friday night we found the pubs lively yet friendly and as the local nightclub was reccommended we felt obliged to take a look, for a small fee we were pleasantly surprised and stayed to the end.

Such events include a walking festival, beer festival, flag festival, comedy festival, and best of all the annual lantern procession which takes place each September.
