Positive Reviews

A perfect location.

It's not just appealing to boating fanatics who can't wait to get on the canal, but these apartments and townhouses are an ideal base from which to enjoy day trips to the Yorkshire Dales, Lake District and the Lancashire coast. They are also very conveniently placed, just off the M6.

Fabulous marina.

The boat and barge traffic is a source of fascination for all ages and to find boats ‘parked' immediately outside your marina accommodation, really thrills the kids.

Very clean and well equipped.

The accommodation is very clean and the kitchen contains everything that the self-caterer will need. It's a big temptation, though, to just go to the pub and have them do the catering thing for you!

Negative Reviews

That sinking feeling

It's the site itself that needs TLC … by the bucket load! The impression is that upkeep is virtually non-existent and there is no-one administering the place. Alarms might go off in unoccupied apartments … and they are just left. Maintenance, on quite a large scale is needed to bring the complex up to anything approaching scratch.

A bit cramped

The 2 bedroom accommodation seems more spacious than the 3 bed; they've probably created the 3rd bedroom at the expense of living space. It can then, get very cramped; something which isn't helped by a noticeable lack of hanging and storage space.

The M6 ‘buzz'.

You are aware of the background noise from the M6 motorway - but only outside. There's no problem inside. Don't rely on the Wi-Fi (*Who comes on holiday to use it anyway!) as the signal can be very ‘wobbly'.
