The Furness Peninsula

The characterful ancient market town with cobbled streets and cafes and shops with open fires. Ulverston is only a 10 minutes drive from Barrow, a great place to visit if you are in the area.

Ulverston is a great place for a cosy lunch in a quirky café or dinner in a range of fantastic restaurants – from traditional British pub food to Mexican, Tapas and Thai. It is also a great base for buses into the Lake District and a range of local walks.

Cartmel-in-Furness is another old yet well preserved town close to Holker Hall, a range of independent shops and traditional pubs.

The Lake District

The Lake District has a never ending supply of wonderful walks and views. Barrow is only a 20 minute drive to the Lake District National Park.

We recommend booking a heritage steam train journey from Haverthwaite railway station, less than 30 minutes from the hotel, to take you to the edge of Lake Windemere. There you can join the steamer that cruises the Lake making stops at Bowness, Ambleside and Wray Castle for a beautiful walk into the beautifully preserved village of Hawkshead.

Taking the steam train and steam boat has the added bonus of less traffic and easier parking. You can book tickets by clicking here.
