Ulverston Holidays

Sandwiched between the Lake District National Park and the seaside resort of Barrow-in-Furness, Ulverston really does give you the best of both worlds. The Cumbria town is dripping with things to do for all the family — with options to suit nature lovers and history buffs alike.

Heritage sites like Cornishead Priory and the Grade II-listed Swarthmoor Hall are just a few highlights of a trip to Ulverston. The town was also the childhood home of legendary comic, Stan Laurel. Why not duck into the Laurel & Hardy Museum to discover more about the hilarious comedy duo? There are plenty of natural attractions on the town’s doorstep, too. Cartmel Peninsula is dotted with charming seaside villages, while the nearby Solway Coast — including Morecambe Bay — can be easily explored via the spectacular Cumbria Coastal Path.

Heading into the Lake District for the day is a must. Our Ulverston holiday cottages put you within easy driving distance of several key locations such as breathtaking Coniston Water and the world-famous Lake Windermere. You could also check out Beatrix Potter World in Bowness-on-Windermere or the picture-perfect Newby railway cottages.

Ulverston’s many attractions are matched by a huge number of holiday cottages. Stay in a modern property within walking distance of the town centre or cosy up in a period home on the outskirts featuring stunning rural views and its very own hot tub.
