Due to the nature of this property and land there are a number of drops within the grounds of about 1.5 metres and so children must be supervised at all times. There is an unfenced stream in the garden. Access to the back garden area, is from steps at the door of the property, not the gate with 'private' written on. This property is next door to UK1367 which shares the garden
Suitable for up to 2 pets

The Garden is beautiful and with a few changes inside this could be a perfect holiday spot. Beds need to be replaced. Bedding linen fine and towles ok. Pillows good qualitt. Strong smell of damp in large bedroom and living Room. A few candels got us through. Lucky we were in june but heating wasnt working. We had to buy logs and kindling fire lighters and matches. Blankets available.Kitchen is large, some pans need replacing but cooker,washer,dishwasher all good. Basics like black sacks salt pepper an inconvience to go out for. Knives blunt unable to cut meat and luckily we knew how to sharpen one which took some timr. Perhaphs clear messages on advertisment. Plenty of space in kitchen for 2 labs and our open top crate.Not far from Ulverston lots of choice for shopping ftom aldi to M&S/ Booths .. Lots of local choice. Cafe's and resturants.Walks nearby. Whatever your fitness levels. Lots of friendly locals. Its somewhere id love to visit again especially the outside space but lack of sleep would be a worry. Supervision is needed as river was quite strong and luckily dog was on extendable lead to help pull them out. They both only did that once. I was told its not always that strong. Missing for me outside loungers and a barbeque thats not tottally rusted.

So enjoyed this holiday. Location was perfect for the dogs and all variety of walks. Cottage location was great, and had everything we need for the week.
