Location: Ulverston

Lake Windermere 12 miles; Coniston Lake 12 miles.

The ancient market town of Ulverston still holds a street market every Thursday and Saturday. Today it’s well known as a festival town with events throughout the year, including walking and art festivals in the summer months and the renowned Dickensian festival in late November. One of the town’s great claims to fame is as the birthplace of Stan Laurel - it is now home to the only Laurel and Hardy museum in the world! Facilities include a wide range of shops, cafes, restaurants and pubs, a cinema and a leisure centre. Whilst many Lakeland destinations have been developed beyond recognition, Ulverston still has an authentic feel and community spirit. All of the attractions of the National Park are easily reached. The Furness Coast boasts sandy beaches and good birdwatching. Nearby family attractions include the World of Beatrix Potter, the Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway, the South Lakes Wild Animal Park and Muncaster Castle.

Previous visitors' comments about Beckside:

A very cosy cottage, close enough to Ulverston centre and the railway station to forget the car for a few days. We were blessed with sunny weather so got a lot of walks in - Tarn Howes was particularly lovely, and so was the railway journey to Ravenglass. Good to explore a forgotten corner of the Lakes.
Mrs Howarth, Coventry, September 2010

Pleasant and comfortable property. Helpful directions and suggestions supplied.
Mrs Phillips, Anstruther, August 2010

We went for the walking - but the property was good and we enjoyed our time there.
Miss Smith, Uckfield, July 2010

Cottage - a home from home and very welcoming.
