"Lovely property."

See you next year.

"Lovely house and close enough to walk down the hill into Ulverston in the day time."
We loved the walk up to the monument, the views were amazing from up there. We had a lovely week visiting some beautiful places. Owners were lovely too.
-
"Bank Hurst was a beautiful property and had everything we needed."
The owners are on hand and really friendly/helpful. Really easy to get to and a good base to explore the Lake District. It was lovely to light the log fire after a day out walking. Local town has good facilities and places to eat. Plenty to do within local area. Would definitely recommend for a relaxing break

"We have stayed in several different places with Sykes."
All have been lovely in there own way. However this was the best of them. Was a lovely converted barn. Well laid out and spotless. Had lovely views from the main room. Easy to get to all the places we had planned to visit.

"We had such a lovely stay at Bank Hurst."
The property was well equipped, clean and very comfortable and cosy. We especially loved the views and the space. It was conveniently situated to all the walks and areas we wanted to visit. The owners were very friendly and helpful. There was nothing to dislike and no negatives. We hope to return in the future.

"Excellent accommodation , thoughtfully furnished and decorated with everything you need for a comfortable stay."
All appliances and kitchen equipment new and good quality. Bed is super comfy. Situated just on the outskirts of Ulverston ,it’s a scenic rural spot with sheep just outside the window. Lovely outdoor area with relaxing seating. Owners live next door and are super friendly. We arrived by train and the walk to the property is doable but uphill most of the way.

"Superb accommodation!"
One of the very best we have stayed in. It is spacious, warm, very clean and comfortable. We very much appreciated the log burner and all the wood provided. The downstairs hallway with clothes pegs and large shoe rack is ideal to leave coats and boots after a walk. The flat has everything one needs. Gerry and Colleen are very generous and we thank them for a wonderful stay. The location is ideal. There is a picturesque footpath to the town centre. There are great walks from the doorstep. We did the walks recommended by Gerry. It’s a pity the weather wasn’t kinder but it didn’t stop us exploring.
-
"Fantastic stay."
Loved the cottage - great use of space, modern and well equipped. Miley (dog) loved it too. Such a great base for exploring the area. A relaxed and chilled time on return from walks. The owners were amazing and so friendly and welcoming. Xx
-
"Wonderfully, clean, spacious and relaxing cottage."
It has everything you need to chill out. A good central place to stay to visit lots of surrounding places. Lovely views as well. Would definitely go back.
-
"Armchairs and settee not comfortable."
There is a foisty/damp smell in the bathroom. Otherwise a 5 star property in a very good area.
-
"Really nice place Clean well maintained and a very relaxing stay"
-
"A lovely property and we had a wonderful time."
Fantastic walks from the door, up to Hoad Monument and a perfect location to explore the lakes, such as Windermere and Coniston. The local Motor Museum is very dog friendly as are most places it seems. We loved cwtching up in front of the fire of an evening, as did Otis & Offa the dogs. Would highly recommend.
-
"Property is lovely, and just as described."
The sofa isn’t the c most comfortable However the property is beautiful fully equipped with most things you need
-
"My wife and I spent a lovely relaxing week here, spotlessly clean and very comfortable, Gerry and Colleen were the perfect hosts, giving us us as many logs as we needed for the log burner, highly recommended and hope to return for my birthday in May."
Thank you Gerry and Colleen

"Had an amazing few days at the Coach House, wish we had stayed longer, will defiantly return."
The property was beautifully looked after throughout and is really comfortable - the log burner was a favourite of ours - also liked the amount of TV channels on offer which you don’t normally expect. Honestly can’t think of anything they’ve left out. The owners couldn’t do enough for us, (“help yourself to logs” was a nice touch) and found the perfect balance of being neighbourly and letting us relax. Also worth noting that they have listened to reviews and acted on them (there is now a hairdryer and stool for cupboard) just to show how much they care about the home. Ulverston itself was perfect - recommend the Mill pub - but it’s the property we would happily return too - if only for our dog to say hello to the sheep each morning which he loved.
-
"Our 3rd. stay in this property and never let's us down."
To improve comfort rating to top marks would suggest a couple of foot-stools for the armchairs as they are quite deep. Super stay.
-
"Great property with great amenities."
Would definitely stay again!
-
"Gorgeous and immaculate, loved it, safe for dogs enclosed garden."
( Wish I lived there ha ha) No hairdryer but owner left one for me (this could maybe put in notes that need to ask ) wasn’t sure how to get towel rail to work
-
"Excellent stay had by my wife and I."
Hosts were fantastic and friendly. Ideal location, very clean all mod cons. Would definitely stay again
-
"There was nothing to fault."
All perfect and in a pretty peaceful location. been our favourite accommodation to date. Just because you have a dog doesn't mean you need to stay in a smelly place. And this proves it.
-
"Beautiful accommodation."
Wonderful views. Dog friendly. Great location. Highly recommended.
-
"Loverly well kept property everything u needed clean comfortable will come again and recommend to friends and family"
-
"Bank Hurst Coach House is unique and stunning accommodation set in a lovely peaceful quiet area just outside Ulverston."
The outside beautiful stone walls are contrasted with modern aluminium windows, with glass balastrades and huge oak beams in the airy vaulted open plan living room. The kitchen is a great size with everything you need (ps the cutlery drawer is somewhat hidden inside the top pullout drawer to the left of the oven!). The ensuite is huge with a massive walk in shower with a monsoon shower head (note, there was no hairdryer which I thought was unusual). We were blessed with sunny warm weather so we only used the log burner once, but it really is a spectacular special feature. The Lakes are a 30 min drive away, so be prepared to drive a bit further in/out each day. However, being down on the Ulverston peninsula meant we were closer to the beaches (highly recommend Haverigg Beach). Our cockerpoo Harley had the best time ever and she learnt to swim in Ennerdale Lake. We had such an amazing wonderful week and we were so sad to leave. Unfortunately the owners whose own house is nearby were away so we never got to meet them. But if they read this review, thankyou thankyou thankyou

"Lovely location and very well maintained we loved our stay only down side was ..."
Lovely location and very well maintained we loved our stay only down side was there was no cutlery we had to buy our own but apart from that definitely
Really sorry that you could not find the cutlery drawer. It is a pull out drawer located within the top drawer to the left of the cooker, just under the countertop. Property Owner

"What an absolutely fantastic property."
First class accommodation. Lovely setting about a mile walk into the town of Ulverston. Gerry & Colleen were fantastic hosts and always available to advise on what places to explore. Oh and not to forget Ollie the Spaniel who was also there to greet us on our arrival. Already booked for next year. John & Sue
-
"First Class Accommodation, in a lovely setting."
So much to explore at the coast, lakes and walks from the barn, we have booked again for next year We would highly recommend Bank Hurst Coach House
-
"What an amazing week we had at Bank Hurst, Gerry and Coleen were fantastic hosts and we were met by their lovely spaniel Ollie."
Great walking from the door and Ulverston is such a lovely place. Missing it already and will definitely be back. Thankyou so much. Dave, Karlene and Molly our spaniel

"Amazing place to stay and explore the lakes."
Ulverston is a gorgeous village. Views from barn incredible and really felt like coming home after days walking and exploring. 10/10 had the best week ever!!
-
"Lovely stay at Bank Hurst Coach House."
Modern and stylish and a great base location for travelling the Lake District. Will definitely be making a return at some point! Have recommended to friends and family looking to visit the Lake District.
-
"A foot stool would be a great addition to the furnishings, hence the comfort rating as not a perfect score."
I'm not nit picking as this is a wonderful place to stay.
-
"Great cottage, stayed at beginning of the year."
Great location, we walked into the village to the pubs, cosy open fires and great food. Dog loved his stay also, nice an quiet area. Logs provided for the log burner in cottage, everything clean, tidy and fresh. Lovely place. Thanks for Great stay.

-
"Lovely accomadatoom"
-
"Perfect stay!"
The location was amazing and the coach house was the perfect mixture of modern and country. The open fire we had burning every night and heated the place up quickly, which was lovely for these frosty nights! We went to the Farmers Arms for a lovely pub meal and the Rose and Crown was lovely too. We also ordered from the Rainbow Chinese which was phenomenal - would highly recommend! We made a few meals in the coach house and it had every utensil we needed. The only 2 things I would change if I could would be a bath and a bigger couch - but I’m a sucker for a tub and a huge cuddle couch
-
"An absolutely fabulous accommodation."
Located just outside of the town with easy access to all amenities, Lake District and beaches. Wake up in the morning to peaceful rolling hills and woodland. The coachhouse was very well equipped and pets catered for. Useful information about dog friendly walks in the area. I would highly recommend to others.

"A beautiful and well-designed property."
Public footpath down to Ulverston thus avoiding road. Great location.
-
"Thank you for letting us stay in such a beautiful property, we had such an amazing stay!"
Local shops and amenities were just a 15 minute walk down the road with lots of pubs and restaurants to choose from! We also found a nearby beach called Brick Kiln road beach which is lovely for a Sunday morning stroll! We will definitely be booking again!
-
"Beautiful cottage in a peaceful setting with everything you need for an enjoyable stay."
The Lakes are accessible for sightseeing and shopping, and there were some lovely beaches near-by for walking the dogs. Good walks nearby the house itself. Host were welcoming too. Would highly recommend this property.
-
"We had a lovely peaceful stay here for 2 nights over the bank Holiday weekend."
The coach house is absolutely stunning and facilities were perfect. We will definitely be back!
-
"We had a wonderful stay in the coach house."
A lovely setting and an amazing building with huge amounts of character. The layout gave the whole holiday a very relaxed feel and we were so comfortable. Clean and fully equipped, and the bed very comfortable for a good night's sleep. We fully recommend. Good local walks, and an easy stroll into Ulverston.
-
"Beautiful cottage that had a fantastic view."
Well located to the coast and other towns and villages, lakes. It was very well equipped with everything, actually 5stars in all respects. Absolutely outstanding! We will be back.
-
"Wow what a beautiful place to stay , the owners of the coach house live next door and are there if you need them ( if your lucky you might get to try there homemade cider ) ."
It is just far enough out of the lovely small town of Ulverston, you can walk to it if you want with lots of places to eat / drink . The coach house had everything you need to make it a wonderful stay and we are already looking to book again for next year , I’m already missing the views from the balcony.
-
"We loved this accommodation."
Stayed for two nights (28th and 29th July) and could easily have stayed longer. There were no negatives whatsoever. Everything was to a very high standard and quality. It had everything you need for your stay and also for our two doggies who also loved it. The view from the double patio doors was breathtaking. The owners live next door but were not intrusive at all however they were there if you needed any advice on anything. I have already recommended it to a couple of friends and family. We will definitely be going back. Joanne
-
"There is not a single negative thing I could possible say about our stay."
The house/cottage was absolutely beautiful and you can tell the owner has taken great pride in creating such a masterpiece! We will sure be back for another stay in the near future. Thank you fot being so warming and friendly.

"The accommodation is first class in every way!"
The property is perfectly situated in a quiet pastoral setting just outside the market town of Ulverston. It is an impressive newly-converted barn with an open floor plan, modern in every way, very comfortable, and extremely well equipped. Sadly I was there for only a few days but could have remained there indefinitely.
