  • "This is a comfortable warm house."

    We did not come for a holiday. We had to move out of our house for four weeks whilst the kitchen was refurbished. We stayed here for two weeks. It was so good we booked another week during a following chemo session. Needed to be near Furness General Hospital for my husband's chemotherapy. However, I would recommend this house for a holiday. It is homely and warm. Well equipted kitchen. Comfortable beds. Easy access to town centre on foot. Great for access to the lakes. Great shower and bath. The owners are brilliant. If you need anything they are accessible and helpful. It was a great stay and relaxing.

    Hi Jane and Colin, thank you so much for such lovely comments. So glad the house was comfortable and relaxing and close enough to still access FGH for treatment. Emma and Jacqui Property Owner

    Everything was perfect. Emma made lovely touches to the cottage including fresh flowers, cosy throws and a very generous welcome pack. Lots of handy things..condiments, washing machine tablets and dishwasher tablets and bathroom lotions etc. She really had thought of everything. Many thanks Emma.

  • "The property is beautiful and the hosts have thought of everything Even little things that other vacation homes miss, like hand soap by the sinks."

    The hosts have provided everything and then some. We were so please to see some snacks and beverages stocked to make it so we did not need the market immediately. As coffee drinkers we were very pleased to have a lovely large coffee maker! The bathroom is lovely and I really enjoyed the soaking tub. The extra comfort and style made this a wonderful vacation flat. We will definitely recommend to friends traveling into Ulverston!

  • "We had a wonderful stay at Number Thirty-Nine."

    There were so many extra touches in the cottage that made it a home from home. It was very clean and well equipped. The welcome pack was really useful as we arrived late on the Friday night and it was very thoughtful to leave Easter treats for the 2 children. It was in a perfect location for exploring Ulverston on foot and the Lakes in the car. We would definitely return.

  • "Outstanding property within walking distance of Ulverston town centre and railway station."

    Easy road links to Lake District attractions. House was very clean and well laid out. The kitchen was very well equipped (all the items that I took with us based on experience of other properties stayed unused in their bag). Very useful welcome package with everything required for breakfast on the first morning, plus the additional Halloween chocolates were a thoughtful addition. Parking is available on the street outside (we did struggle on our first night but to be fair we arrived around 9pm - every other day there was a space outside the front door) The house was wonderfully warm - perfect at this time of year. The lights were on when we arrived so we felt very welcome. The beds were very comfy and the shower was powerful. We would highly recommend Number 39 and would be more than happy to return. As I wrote in the guestbook - I feel like we have been spoilt for future rental properties following what we've experienced here!
