Once a shoe shop, this home has been converted into an excellent two-story apartment. It’s in the heart of Ulverston so you can easily explore the Lake District and Cumbria. Keen hikers might want to tackle Scafell Pike, which is less than an hour away, and Lake Windermere can be reached in half an hour. The apartment is a fuss-free base, equipped with everything you need for a comfortable break. There’s a petite desk for those needing to work during their stay.

Local guide
About The Lake District
Poets and novelists have often escaped to the Lake District for a spot of inspiration. Famously, Wordsworth pondered about daffodils and clouds during his time here. The undulating hills are tracked with drystone walls while sheep graze, and farmsteads enjoy untouched beauty for miles around. England’s biggest lake, Windermere, cuts through a valley, sleek as glass and hosts a litany of cosy-pub-filled towns and water sports venues along its shores....
