About this property

A pretty, semi-detached cottage, on the edge of the old village of Scales, just a mile from the sea and 4 miles from the ever-popular market town of Ulverston. This charming Scales cottage provides warm, welcoming accommodation, with a spacious sitting room, cosy multi-fuel stove, two delightful bedrooms and a small, well-equipped kitchen with useful porch area. In a quiet and peaceful area, with fabulous Lakeland countryside and the beautiful beaches and coastline of the Furness Estuary on the very doorstep, this Scales holiday cottage is close to the festival town of Ulverston, with its many pubs and restaurants and bi-weekly market, whilst the sandy beaches of the Furness coast and Coniston, with its mountain biking, climbing and watersports, are just a short drive away. With Eskdale Railway, the World of Beatrix Potter and the fabulous Lake District National Park all within easy reach, this is a wonderful holiday location and a welcoming Scales cottage, any time of year.

The small village of Scales is situated on the Cumbrian Peninsula and makes a fabulous base to explore this gem of an area. The name Scales originates from an old Norse word meaning ‘huts'. Ulveston, an ancient market town, is only four miles away and it has retained its community spirit, holding a thriving street market every Thursday and Saturday and there are many festivals throughout the year. One of the claims to fame Ulveston has is that it is the birthplace of Stan Laurel, and to commemorate their famous son there is a Laurel and Hardy Museum. The Furness Coast has unspoiled sandy beaches and bird watching opportunities and the Cumbrian national Park is within easy reach. With plenty of family attractions in the area, this a great place for a holiday.

    Figured it out after a few dats of inconsistent temperature. And comfort fluctuations. Extra heating would be appreciated in kitchen. I would like to suggest suggest a curtain on the stairs to avoid draughts and keep warmth in living/dining area. (This was not a problem for us even in cold days Jan/Feb but is a suggestion.)

    Apart from these minor issues this is a super place to stay with plenty of places to visit, we had a enjoyable even with mixed weather

  • Mark

    Parking is definitely a challenge as the road in front can be fast. Kitchen is small but we managed well. Lounge is a good size. Think it’s a couples only cottage given bathroom on ground floor. We had great weather and the dogs loved the access to the lane at the side but had to be kept on a lead as lots of sheep and lambs in adjoining fields. Beach at Roanhead became the norm which to be fair is fantastic.
