Positioned on a hill overlooking Morecambe Bay is the small village of Bardsea. This remote settlement grew from a small fishing village and farming area to become a major transportation link for coal, iron ore and corn. Today, Bardsea still retains its fishing heritage, and features two pubs, both of which serve fine ales and good food. The village itself is located close to Furness Abbey, whilst the market town of Ulverston is just two miles away, and maintains its street market tradition, hosting one every Thursday and Saturday throughout the year. Ulverston is also the location for many festivals including an amazing lantern procession in November and a Dickensian weekend in early December. With all the attractions of the Lake District National Park within easy driving distance, and the sandy beaches of the Furness coast close by, this peaceful spot has plenty to offer.

All of the bedrooms and bathrooms were clean & very well presented. There was ample living space and the outside area was the same with the hot-tub & sauna being a nice treat. The BBQ was a good size to feed a large group. The kitchen was well equipped but the only negative was that there wasn't enough trays that fit in the ovens. Alot of them supplied were too big. The surrounding area has nice walks and a beach was very close. Would recommend & would book again.

I have been to many properties and had large family gatherings and never had to write a poor review but I feel I need to let other potential guests know what they are paying for as it is incredibly expensive. Firstly the garden was not enclosed as stated and our small dogs could get out, we tried to barricade the area so they were able to enjoy the garden but this did not work and when one escaped and we were trying to find her we came across the owner who was rude and told me they should be on a lead at all times, even in the garden. I think it is important to notify future guests that the owner spends 3 days a week near the property and regularly turns up being rude and intrusive. There are cameras everywhere which makes you have feel that you are being watched constantly. The other properties are very close together which is misleading on the website. The animals are all very lovely however the area is rat infested and the young children were mortified when they went to pet a goat and it was covered in blood from fighting the other animals. There is a laundry room which we were told we could use and every time someone went in there the owner turned up (so clearly watching on the cameras) being rude and saying we should have bought more clothes with us, in our defence we only had to use the washing facilities for swimwear as the hot tub was a swamp and made everything smell horrendous. Speaking of the hot tub on our return from a day out (which the kids were all excited for the hot tub) we came back to a note on the hot tub saying it was being cleaned and could not be used, yes it desperately needed a clean however it would have been nice if this was done for our arrival instead of during our stay. I would not recommend staying here unless you love being watched, would like a pet rat, enjoy being spoken to rudely and made to feel like you are encroaching on someoneâs property and not wanted there. It is a shame because it could be a lovely place to get together with family, if only the owner actually wanted you there and the site wasnât misleading.
