About this property

Resting in an idyllic countryside location on the edge of the traditional market town of Ulverston lies this splendid, detached annex. Well-equipped and set over two floors, The Annex is a quaint hideaway for a couple looking to holiday to Cumbria and the Lake District. Unload your baggage from the car before discovering the light and airy open-plan living area, home to a plush sofa so you can enjoy a cosy night in front of the Smart TV. Sure to inspire some budding chefs, the amply-appointed kitchen is a superb spot to relish in home-cooking, offering a gas oven and hob, microwave, fridge and even a dishwasher so you won’t have to lift a finger when washing up! Throw open the patio doors and access the lawned garden, a quiet spot to sit back and take in the rural surroundings while your four-legged friend stretches their legs. Move back inside and head upstairs to the neatly presented bedroom, home to a sumptuous king-size bed and an integrated Smart TV into the bed frame, perfect for continuing your favourite shows in bed. When you’re ready to explore, head into the town centre of Ulverston and be greeted by charming cobbled streets housing independent shops, inviting cafés and traditional pubs, as well as a range of eateries where you can celebrate any occasion. Depending when you visit, you might catch the Christmas Dickensian Fair and the traditional flag festival and a lantern procession when the whole town turns out for a colourful evening of fun and music! The location of The Annex is superb; within a 30-minute drive you have access to the scenic Lake District, including the wonderful Lake Windermere and the many quaint towns and villages surrounding it, plus the beautiful coastal area of Morecambe Bay where a wealth of walks and wildlife can be enjoyed, especially on a bright day when the views are inspiring.

    Beautiful surroundings, lovely accommodation and the owners were so friendly and helpful. We’ve already recommended this property to friends and family if you want a restful and relaxing place to stay. Everything you need is at the property, and if you don’t fancy travelling far there are plenty of places to visit and get your food essentials within 5-10 min drive. There are also walks from the doorstep which was perfect for our dog walks. We loved it here, thank you Derek and Sue!
