    “Back from an amazing stay in the Kennedy Apartment.”

    It was beautifully furnished, very comfortable and warm. Had everything we needed and more. It’s a short stroll into Ulverston and there is an Aldi and M & S food also just down the road. Mike is on the end of the phone if you need him and was amazing, we couldn’t find where to park the car in the dark so gave him a call. We enjoyed it that much we have booked again for next year see you then.
