Fabulous 'Little Gem', a comfortable, brilliant house with a well stocked garden.

By Tony Downing on 06-Sep-2024

Celia & 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-2024

We 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-2024

We 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-2024

We 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-2021

our 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.

we'll be back next year!

By John & Val on 23-Jul-2021

thank you for a lovely week, scorching weather & the house & garden have been a haven. We will be in touch again soon about returning next year!
