"A gorgeous property."
Very comfortably housed 10 adults. Lovely and clean and very warm. Fully equipped kitchen with plenty of glasses, cups and crockery. Located in beautiful peaceful surroundings. Outdoor furniture, hot tub and hot tub towels a bonus.

"Oak cottage was a fantastic base for a very beautiful part of the world."
The photos don’t do the size of the property justice - it really is beautiful and the space means that even large families always feel like they have their own space. In summer, the outdoor space will just provide so much more.
Lynsey is such a good host and took questions before and during our stay. We couldn’t recommend the cottage highly enough and will definitely look to return in future.

"We had the most wonderful stay, the property exceeded our expectations, it felt very luxurious and the hot tab was amazing with the most beautiful views."
The property was very very warm (we were advised the underfloor heating could be turned off)
We were grateful to be have been given a later check out as 9.30am is quite the push to have the property as requested by that time for such a large party.
Would highly recommend and also look forward to retuning

"This was a family holiday and we all enjoyed it very much."
The small complimentary bath,shampoo,soap and welcome basket was a nice thought though there wasn't enough for 9 adults. The only thing that I didn't like was the very long drive up the country lane path in first gear.

"We had a wonderful stay at Oak cottage."
The location was perfect for us. The cottage was a bit warm for us during the hot weather we had we would have liked more fans due to the limited amount of windows to open safely in the property but once the weather cooled a little we managed ok. The rest of the facilities were excellent and we had everything we needed. The washing machine and tumble drier we’re especially useful with children. Altogether we had a great time thank you.

"Oak Cottage is situated in the countryside just outside Ulverston and is a good base for people looking to explore the South lakes."
The cottage itself is beautiful and has everything you could possibly need to make for a perfect stay, they have literally thought of everything, and there is lots space, indoors and out, to relax.
Due to it's beautiful countryside location there are no close by facilities, however, the Anglers Arms is about a 30 minute walk away and it's a decent place to stop off for a drink or a sandwich whilst exploring the local area. That said Ulverston is a 20 minute drive away and there are plenty of shops, restaurants, pubs etc and taxis are available locally.
Haverthwaite railway is close by, 5 minutes drive, and gives you access to Lakeside aquarium or an onward boat trip to Bowness or Ambleside.
Bowness, 30 minute drive, and Ambleside, 40 minute drive, are a must visit and there are plenty places to explore and eat and drink in both. A little further north is Grasmere and Rydal which offers some stunning walks for all abilities.
Anyway enough of my ramblings. Oak Cottage is a stunning place to stay in beautiful surroundings and I highly recommend it to anyone wanting a relaxing stay and to explore the South lakes. Enjoy.

"The accommodation is stunning both in its location and comfort."
Beautifully furnished and excellently equipped, we wanted for nothing during our stay. Lovely rooms, clean and spacious, a generous patio with comfortable outside furniture, and hot tub that was very popular with our grandchildren in particular. We had six in our party and did not feel constrained in any way as the configuration of rooms is effective and allows for both congregation and privacy. As custodians, Lynsey and Andrew were welcoming and responsive, although we had no need to call upon their services.
Oak Cottage was worth every penny of our investment and we would return there without hesitation. Thank you.

"Beautiful cottage with good views."
It is situated at the top of a hill so you need your car to get papers shopping etc. There are no windows in the downstairs bedrooms but they have doors leading onto the patio. I missed not being able to have some air coming into the room in the evening as it would not be safe to have the patio doors open all night.
The kitchen was well stocked but if you were cooking for 10 people the one cooker may be a problem.
On the whole I would recommend this cottage and we all enjoyed our stay.
