“Green Hills Farm is a wonderful location, tucked away but within driving distance of Ulverston and so close to everything you want to see and so in the south Lakes.”
The hosts are superb and made us so welcome and were very accommodating. All the beds were extremely comfortable and all the linens were spotlessly clean and the lovely white towels were "hotel fluffy" which was a treat! The rooms were spacious and well provided for with decent high quality furniture and plenty of wardrobe space, and the two showers were both good, well served with hot water. The white goods, the dishwasher, washer and tumble dryer, were all in perfect order and much appreciated. Big TV and free Wifi and Netflix all appreciated. Having a separate dining room really was brilliant and there was more than enough good crockery and cutlery for all, as well as good array of cooking utensils. Having a private garden and places to sit at the front and back all meant we had a variety of spaces in which to relax.
Overall, we all really loved our stay: it was a great place for relaxation and unwinding.
Small but important matters to note: a sign on the A590 main road and again at the turns in the lane would be very useful. There is no signage that can be seen and near neighbours/locals had never heard of the address or the host family - finding Green Hills in the dark would be impossible, it was a challenge in daylight. Also, though there's nothing the hosts can do about the lane, guests should be aware that low-axle cars may struggle due to the several-inches-deep potholes on the approach from the main road to the farm's own (well maintained) lane. Given the cottage can host up to eight guests, a larger fridge or a separate small fridge would have proven very useful. Also, while this is very well publicised as a working farm (a quiet one at that, there is no disturbance at all), guests should come forewarned about the flies. On our last day we killed 42 in the kitchen alone while preparing dinner, having spent a small fortune on fly sprays and fly papers over our stay. Not a problem per se, but some guests may be more squeamish! Finally, grab handles for when using the lovely big bath could help guests use the facility with confidence (it is quite a high sided bath).
