Situated on the coast, across from Morecambe Bay is the small village of Aldingham. Local folklore says that the village was once a mile long and that many of the cottages were washed away. Aldingham also has a reputation as a smuggler's village, the perpetrators hiding brandy from France and tobacco from America within the church crypt. The village itself is close to Furness Abbey as well as the ancient market town of Ulverston, just five miles away. Ulverston boasts a street market every Thursday and Saturday, in addition to many festivals throughout the year. These include an amazing lantern procession in November and an atmospheric Dickensian weekend in early December. The town is also the birthplace of Stan Laurel, famous for his work with Oliver Hardy, and as such is home to the only museum dedicated to this double act in the world. With all the attractions of the Lake District National Park and the sandy beaches of the Furness Coast, this quiet and peaceful area has plenty to offer!

Everything was perfect for just the 2 of us, especially the hot tub which was nice and hot. The only thing disappointing was that there was no frying pan but not a big deal.

Unfortunately the hot tub was cold for our entire stay and we didnât have hot water on the night of arrival. Some came to look at this for us whilst we were out the following day, we manage to get one hot shower before the water went Luke warm again. Would recommend if the hot tub and hot water troubles would guaranteed to be fixed. Lovely views from the cottage too
