Leave ReviewA fabulous home from home with stunning views across Morecambe Bay
By Claire & Kerry on 03-Jan-2025Little Gem is an amazing period property, in a great location, set over 4 floors. This warm and welcoming home feels spacious, airy and light and has everything you could possibly need for a short beak or extended stay. We loved the top floor bedroom, sitting up in bed and looking out over the bay to the Lake District Mountains is such a treat! As was stepping outside the door, crossing the road and being directly on Morecambe Prom... I will miss my 10K runs to Heysham and back. For those who like to cook - you'll be hugely impressed by the array of kitchen gadgets and accoutrements... an episode of "Come Dine with me" could easily be filmed in the huge basement kitchen. Patio doors lead out onto a lovely seating area and well maintained private garden. The house was spotlessly clean upon our arrival, and we appreciated all the little touches that make this a really special property, that feels safe, warm, comfortable and homely. Parking is on the private driveway, or there is plenty of parking on the roadside. The owners of the property - David and Carmel, live next door, they are super helpful, friendly and really care about their guests - they want their visitors to enjoy their stay and ensure they have everything they need. They are really accommodating and nothing is too much trouble. We would highly recommend "Little Gem" to anyone looking to stay in Morecambe - we loved it!
Fabulous 'Little Gem', a comfortable, brilliant house with a well stocked garden.
By Tony Downing on 06-Sep-2024Celia & I have had the good fortune to stay at Little Gem for a number of years. Not only is your every wish catered for, the whole place has a timeless vibe that most holiday makers yearn for. Everything you need for a relaxing and satisfying stay is on hand, from clothes washing facilities to a fabulous south facing balcony - a great place to take a break with the morning sun. On the doorstep is the fantastic 5 miles of Morecambe promenade, which you can walk the whole way. Morecambe must be one of the healthiest places in the country with its spectacular views and bracing air. You surely will not be disappointed with a stay at Little Gem. Good luck.
Home from home.
By John Limmack on 02-Aug-2024We have been going here for many years now, usually twice a year. The hosts are amazing, we look on them as our extended family. The home is beautiful and always lovely and clean, and being right across the road from the beach and promenade. Anyone wishing to stay here will want to return time and time again
Excellent place to stay
By Julie Clem on 26-Jul-2024We love this property. I go back time after time. There’s everything you need in the way of equipment; it’s on the sea front and the hosts are amazing. It’s clean and spacious. Will be booking again for the autumn. Thanks to team Little Gem.
Fabulous cottage overlooking Morecambe Bay
By Diane & Mark Naylor on 28-Jun-2024We have stayed at Little Gem at least once a year ( sometimes twice) for a number of years now and every time it has been a pleasure to return. Little Gem is a little gem in Morecambe with breathtaking views, it is a warm comfortable cottage with lots of added extras to make your stay welcoming. The hosts, David and Carmel, always leave their guests a welcome package on arrival and are so friendly and welcoming. Needless to say we will be returning. Ideal location to visit the Lake District, Morecambe and Blackpool.
Really is a home from home
By Frank & Lynda on 01-Oct-2021our first holiday since January 2020 when we spent a week here, little did we know what the next 17/18 months had in store for us. Our first venture out into the wide world brought us back to Morecambe, better still to stay in this wonderful house. It really is a home from home.
