Overview
Property code: 83453

Little Urswick, lies on side of a tarn, a wonderful wildlife habitat with a whole host of water birds occupying its sheltered corner. Birkrigg Stone Circle (4 miles) is one of several prehistoric settlement sites in the surrounding countryside, and the start of the Haematite and Cumbrian Way footpaths can be found a similar distance away. The ancient market town of Ulverston is just 2 miles away, and still has a street market every Thursday and Saturday, plus many festivals throughout the year, including an amazing lantern procession in September and a superb Dickensian weekend in early December. With all the attractions of the Lake District National Park, beaches, and good birdwatching of the Furness coast close by, this peaceful and quiet area has plenty to offer. This property dates to 1658 and still retains a lot of the original features from the lovely oak beams to the old-style flooring and layout.

Upon walking through the front door, you will see the thought and effort the owners have gone to restore this property to its former glory, while adding a modern feel. The lounge area is the hub of the house with a corner sofa and armchair where you can enjoy relaxing in front of the wood-burner whilst watching a film on the Smart TV. There is also a perfect spot for your legged friends to chill under the window on the church-style bench. The kitchen/diner has a Lakeland cottage style to it with lovely mosaic tilling and oak worktops. There is an electric oven and hob, fridge/freezer, microwave and washing machine. Onto the first floor is the large bathroom with an amazing roll-top bath (perfect for a good soak after a day of walking), shower and WC. On this floor is you will find a double bedroom with built-in storage and the master bedroom is located on the second floor with a king-size bed and pull-out sofa if required.

The garden has plenty of space for the kids and your four-legged friend to enjoy while you sit back and relax on the raised decking area. There is also a stone-built BBQ and parking on-site for two cars.

This cottage has everything that you could want for a comfortable stay away from home for both humans and our doggy companion. The location is ideal for the lakes, fells and some wonderful beaches (we had not expected the beaches so these were a great find).

We found a butcher, fishmonger and a gin distillery as well as other useful shops and a market. Hide

We're both in our dotage but neither of us had any of the problems one or two previous guests seem to have had with the stairs or low beams. Beds were great, furnishings excellent and cottage itself was welcoming and homely. Owner was unobtrusively helpful.

Lovely well kept and characterful cottage with extra bonus of underfloor heating for chilly days. Very comfortable beds and a luxury bathroom. Thoughtful extras such as wine, chocolates and milk and a dog bed, towel and treats for furry friends provided. The stairs are narrow and steep so not suitable for people with mobility issues. Secure garden Read morebut check that the gate is closed as the cottage is on a bend on a road that can get busy so extra care with children and dogs. Loved our visit. Hide
