Pennington is a small hamlet with a scattering of dwellings, farms and country pubs, situated on the beautiful Lake District Peninsula, an area of tranquillity, gentle hills and unspoilt walking country. Locally, the start of the Haematite and Cumbrian Way footpaths can be located, and the twin pubs at Great Urswick Tarn are renowned locally for their fine ales and good food. Pennington's nearby neighbour, Ulverston, is an ancient market town that still holds a street market every Thursday and Saturday. Today, the town is well known as a “festival town”, with events throughout the year, and 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, pubs, restaurants, a cinema and a leisure centre. 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 Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway, the South Lakes Wild Animal Park and Muncaster Castle.

Previous visitors' comments about Thimble Cottage:
Beautiful, cosy cottage with a log fire to welcome you after a day out. The location near Coniston, Ulverston and so on was another advantage.

Loved the cottage and the surroundings.
Dr Othick, Selby, November 2011
Good location for visiting the surrounding area. Many fine and varied walks within a fifteen minute drive of the cottage. The wood-burner in the cottage is great for chilly evenings.
