    “Station View is a super cottage, cozy, clean and very well equipped.”

    Very lucky to have 2 great pubs within easy walking distance … The Ship and The Commercial. Fantastic location to explore the West Coast - we enjoyed trips to the stunning Wastwater, a ride on La’al Ratty from Ravenglass, and a visit to Muncaster Castle. Bonus to have the main line railway just across the road - we went on the train to Carlisle.

The property

Set in the Cumbrian village of Kirkby-in-Furness rests this delightful, two-bedroom holiday home, Station View.

With an exquisite exterior, off-road parking, and great positioning to nearby amenities, this property is a fantastic base for a family looking to explore the Lake District National Park and its vast, stunning landscapes.

As you step into your new home-from-home, be charmed by a collection of well-presented living areas, including a fully-fitted kitchen, where the designated chef will find everything required to whip up delicious meals for the whole group.

Settle down to enjoy your feasts at the dining table before relaxing on the sofa in the living/dining room, where a Smart TV and crackling woodburning stove take centre stage.

A snug tucked away on the second floor of the house serves as a great escape for the younger members of the family who want to watch a film or two before bed.

As the evenings grow darker, treat yourself to a rejuvenating shower or a hot bath before retiring to a plush king-size bed - a perfect spot to unwind and prepare for a brand new day.

If you can tear yourself away from your peaceful lodgings, explore your local area by making the short car trip to Ulverston, where visitors can find attractions such as the Laurel & Hardy Museum and the Sir John Barrow Monument, as well as a range of excellent dining options, including the Old Farmhouse.

Whilst you're in the region, venture into the Lake District, where you can hop aboard the Lakeside and Haverthwaite Railway; get up close and personal with aquatic life at the Lakes Aquarium, or embark on a walk or bike ride along one of Grizedale's many rural trails.

If you don't feel like leaving the comfort of your new abode, why not enjoy the sights of the nearby railway line, including a whole host of trains chugging slowly past, sure to excite any keen trainspotters amongst your group; you'll also find a telescope in the attic, perfect for gazing out at the night sky!

Enjoy all of this when you book a stay at Station View.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £250.

About the location

KIRKBY-IN-FURNESS

Broughton-in-Furness 5 miles; Ulverston 5 miles.

Kirkby-in-Furness is a collection of six hamlets on the Furness peninsula overlooking the Duddon estuary. The village is home to a general store and two pubs as well as a railway station on the Cumbrian Coast Line. Just five miles away is Broughton-in-Furness which has much to please the visitor such as a pretty, cobbled square complete with a splendid horse chestnut tree, enclosed by shops, pubs and homes. The village provides an ideal base for a walking or climbing holiday, with ample opportunity to explore the rugged beauty of the Duddon Valley and the quieter Lake District fells. East of Kirkby-in-Furness is the ancient market town of Ulverston which still holds a street market every Thursday and Saturday. Today it’s well known as a festival town with events throughout the year, including walking and art festivals in the summer months and the renowned Dickensian festival in late November. One of the town’s great claims to fame is 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, cafes, restaurants and pubs, a cinema and a leisure centre. All of the attractions of the National Park are easily reached and nearby family attractions include the World of Beatrix Potter, the Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway, the South Lakes Wild Animal Park and Muncaster Castle.
