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.

Everything was beautiful, from the pod to the view. It was super clean and the dogs that work on the farm were really friendly and came to say hi every day. We are definitely coming back to stay in the future!

The view was amazing, the cabin was very cozy. The staff were very friendly and it was great that it was dog friendly too. Our only issue with our stay was that the hot water in the shower didn't last very long, it was ok for me as I a man with short hair but it wasn't enough for my girlfriend to wash her hair.
