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.

Previous visitors' comments about The Old Bake House:
A helpful owner who was on hand nearby, running the local pub. A comfortable cottage where we felt able to relax. A well stocked kitchen with all the pots, pans and utensils necessary were provided. We had a lovely break and would thoroughly recommend!
Mrs Wright, Norwich, February 2012
Having been to the Old Bake House before we knew what to expect. The location was great for us, so near to Morecambe Bay and not a huge distance from Keswick etc. Ulverston is a friendly thriving market town, (with a brilliant little fish and chip shop). Been twice but still have a lot we want to see in the area, so will probably come back again.
Mrs Read, Norwich, May 2011
Location of property was good as was the general condition of the cottage. Plenty of local walks and places to explore. Nice variety of local shops and restaurants. On arrival the owner gave us a guided tour of the property.
Mrs Sprott, Stranraer, September 2010
The location was excellent; convenient to shops and local pubs. Lovely little tearooms in particular 'Ship Wreck Cafe' for home made soup etc. Countryside beautiful with lovely walks for our dog who was made very welcome where ever we took him. Owners helpful. Ulverston itself very interesting town. Well done Sykes Cottages, we will be looking for something again next year.
