Perfect location with good (free) parking, easy walk into Ulverston. Only one downside is the garden... very overgrown and not user friendly - except for our dog! Thanks to owner for welcome goodies and, especially, the flowers. Will return.

The location is ideal, quiet but only a short stroll into town. The garden is great for furry friends and has a beautiful view. I would definitely visit again and highly recommend.

Cottage was clean,bed was comfortable,kitchen was adequate but worktops could do with a overhaul. Although the cottage is located on a very small B road it was very busy and with speeding vehicles, so had to take care and to look out when leaving the cottage
