The cottage has been recently refurbished to a high standard. It has a log fire which is lovely & cosy in the winter and outside dining in a pretty garden for relaxing in the summer.

It's in an idyllic village called Great Urswick which has a pub and a lovely restaurant which has won a few awards. There's a park for the kids and a church which is over 1000 years old. It has a tarn which is really pretty too and there's loads of lovely walks around, Birkrigg common only a mile up the road has stunning 360 views of the Furness Peninsula. 2 miles from the South Lakes Wild Animal park, 3 miles away from the historic market town of Ulverston, 15 miles from both Coniston & Windermere and a lot of the other Lake District attractions.

Response from the owner
Thank you for your response, I can't apologise enough, we were assured it was going to be finished in August but unfortunately it wasn't, work was delayed. The owners didn't send any photos to warn me of the obstruction. I did mention work being undertaken in my welcome email but however I was uncertain of the extent. I live 100 miles away so it's very difficult to keep ontop of these things. I'm sorry if it was an inconvenience and I hope you enjoyed your time despite the work.
