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 South Lakes Wild Animal Park, Birkrigg Common's Stone Circle, Morecambe Bay and Lakes Windermere and Coniston.

A charming cosy apartment and the Christmas decorations were much appreciated.

The shops, the market and the buses are all within 2 to 5 Min's of walking. Good night life and in door and outdoor markets. Not far from the Lake district by car or bus. The flat was home from home and this is the second time this year we have been.
Mr Barham, Southampton, October 2011
The accommodation was very clean and comfortable. It was in a brilliant location for both the town and easy access for nearby walks for us and our dog. The beds and towels were lovely and clean. We had more than enough for our holiday. Thank you.
Mrs Stewart, Darwen, September 2011
Returning back to Ulverston was made so much more pleasurable thanks to this wonderful property - it was a home away from home with everything imaginable available. The location was perfect and having the added bonus of the parking permit was fantastic. We thoroughly loved our stay here and will book again!
