It is cosy, stylish, everything works and it has been set up with the visitor in mind. They now have a Smart TV. There was a beautiful Christmas tree and a packet of good coffee and mince pies as a welcome. The owner listens to their visitors and loads of them return and I am not surprised! They deserve to do well! Ulverston is a great asset too!

The enclosed garden was perfect for our two pugs. Property is 5 minutes walk from town centre which has everything you could possibly need. Recommend a walk up to Sir John Barrow Monument, also the Lakeland Motor Museum.
