t on the outside. Quirky on the inside. This hidden gem of a property is nestled within the grounds of our home, which is almost at the foot of Lancaster Castle. Inside Castle View, the bedroom and bathroom are a real surprise (most people gasp when they open the doors!) and everything is kitted out with your complete comfort in mind. A king size natural mattress, Egyptian cotton bed linen, Smeg fridge/freezer and a giant 'loaf' sofa to sink into in front of the wood burner. Guest access
The property is detached from our home and has it's own parking space. Guest interaction
We're around in person or by text to help in any way that we can - although we completely understand that many guests will want to keep themselves to themselves. :)
Neighbourhood overview
Castle View is situated within the peaceful Lancaster Castle Conservation area and yet only 3 minutes walk to the shops, cafes, bars and restaurants. Try our destination cafe, 'The Hall', for the best flat white in the UK and Filberts bakery for scrumptious artisan breads and pastries. If history is your thing then a visit to the castle is obviously a must...and if you're a culture vulture then we're a 10 minute walk to The Dukes theatre and cinema. Take in the views or even a sunset from Williamson Park - home to the iconic Ashton Memorial and 54 acres of beautiful parkland with enchanting woodland walks and breathtaking views to the Fylde Coast, Morecambe Bay and the Lake District. Beauty surrounds this hidden gem of a city and the location really couldn't be better. There are so many stunning places to visit. Getting around
