Ulverston is an old-fashioned market town with a cobblestone central street. It has several unique stores, cafes, and bars serving good ale and hearty food. From five-star restaurants to cosy neighbourhood pubs, there is truly something for every taste. During the summer, Ulverston hosts a variety of festivals, from a flag-raising and walking festival to an art and music festival, and in late November, the town hosts the world-famous Dickensian Christmas celebration. You can get a sense of the fun and community spirit of the place where Stan Laurel was born and where the largest foam pie battle in history was held. Stunning views of Morecambe Bay and the southern Lake District may be seen from the many walking trails that surround the city. The deepest, widest, and shortest canal in the world can be found here, and it provides for a great day stroll with a bar and bay views at its conclusion. The park's various points of interest are conveniently close. Aside from its sandy beaches, the Furness Coast is also a great place to go birdwatching. The South Lakes Wild Animal Park, Lakes Windermere and Coniston, and Birkrigg Common, famous for its breathtaking vistas of Morecambe Bay, are all within easy driving distance and are great for families.

It was a 10 minute drive from the beautiful town. The hosts were extremely accommodating and showed us round all the farm animals! The farmer was so helpful during our stay and came everyday to make sure the hot tub was good. I will definitely be back ! The pods were spotless and the comfiest bed! My boyfriends exact words were it was magical and cozy. It was the break that we both needed !
