• "We had a lovely stay, the cottage was clean and cosy."

  It was the perfect base for us to take our dog out on adventures from. It is such a short walk into the town as well! The owners are clearly experienced and take pride in good service.

• "If you are looking for a cotrage which is clean, comfortable, fully equipped, with super bed and in perfect location then Hawthorn Cottage is the one for you."

  Parking good and nice view from rear. Five minute walk into Ulverston, lively town with good eating, drinking and shops. Absolutely Fabulous.

• "Our 4th stay and there's a reason why we keep coming back."

  it was as spotlessly clean, welcoming and comfortable as ever. The weather wasn't great so we did spend a few days just relaxing at the cottage and it's a lovely environment in which to relax. Ulverston is a warm and friendly place and Hawthorn is an ideal spot to wander down to the shops and pubs or down to the estuary which is beautiful. Welcome pack is lovely when you are in need of a cuppa when you arrive. Every room is welcoming and the cottage is endearing. We usually sit and enjoy the view but Summer and rain makes things grow so sadly the view at the rear wasn't as good as in Winter. Hairdryer, towels, kitchen utensils etc all good quality and as stated previously everything is impeccably clean. The owner clearly maintains the cottage as we noticed little tweaks to make sure everything is of a good standard. Freshly painted walls, new kitchen chairs, new bbq, new tv, cushions etc since our last visit. We love the furniture too. It's very classy and understated. It's clearly a well loved property with a very friendly and courteous caretaker and owner. . If you've never booked Hawthorn I wouldn't hesitate.

• "Lovely old cottage, everything needed for good holiday , albeit a washing machine would be needed for two weeks stay."

  Perfect location with good (free) parking, easy walk into Ulverston. Only one downside is the garden... very overgrown and not user friendly - except for our dog! Thanks to owner for welcome goodies and, especially, the flowers. Will return.

• "This cottage is very tastefully decorated, with all the amenities you could want."

  The location is ideal, quiet but only a short stroll into town. The garden is great for furry friends and has a beautiful view. I would definitely visit again and highly recommend.

• "Perfect location."

  Cottage was clean,bed was comfortable,kitchen was adequate but worktops could do with a overhaul. Although the cottage is located on a very small B road it was very busy and with speeding vehicles, so had to take care and to look out when leaving the cottage

• "We were overjoyed with this cottage!"

  It was our first time away with our two pugs and can confirm that the garden is perfectly secure, which had been our main concern. On arrival it was lovely to see the Christmas tree inside. Truly a home from home, with a very well equipped kitchen and lovely bathroom. The cottage is a few minutes walk from everything and we had a really relaxing break. We hope to visit again in the future.

  The cottage is always spotlessly clean and you're welcomed to the cottage with coffee, biscuits and lovely fresh flowers. It's so handy for walking down the road ito the centre of Ulverston or driving locally to Windermere, Coniston etc. Everything you need is in the cottage and it's dog secure.

  It felt clean and cosy. I was also very touched by the beautiful flowers, tea tray (with freshly ground coffee), biscuits and milk that awaited us on arrival. After a 6 hour drive this was most welcome. We hope to book the same cottage again next year to finish our holiday.

• "Great location just a short walk from Central Ulverston, lovely cottage, very well equipped."

  The bedroom had space and furniture to empty our bags into the wardrobe drawers and a comfortable big bed (unlike some cramped places we have stayed where we lived out of the suitcase) Very suited for a pet, plenty of space for the pet crate. Parking was much easier than I was expecting from the description. And the coffee was excellent.

• "This property is in a fantastic location for both getting out and about and just wandering into town."

  The kitchen was well appointed and the bath was gorgeous, we both enjoyed a good soak while we were there. The tea and coffee left out for us on arrival was really appreciated and good coffee too (we went into town and bought some for ourselves before we left). There is no specific parking space, but we had no trouble parking the car just up the road in a convenient place. Getting into the cottage on the first day was easy and the instructions for use and leaving of the keys were clear as was the various leaflets and maps for things to do. I would highly recommend this place and a trip into the local town. The shop which sells the coffee has a space upstairs to eat in and the food and drink were delicious. The local pub just on the corner was also excellent and being so close is within walking distance so you can have an extra drink without worrying about driving home. We had a truly lovely week and I fully recommend this to anyone.

• "Beautiful property everything you required and more was to hand, ideally situated for both town plus lovely walks."

  However stepping from door step straight onto main road when you need to use both hands to open front door is a little nerve wracking whilst trying to hold onto the lead of a small terrier. Said terrier could also escape through holes in hedge at the back of the garden. (Only reasons this cottage was not ‘perfect’ in my review)

• "Another wonderful stay at Hawthorn Cottage."

  Decor tasteful and relaxing, wonderful bathroom to soak after walking and everything you need in a well equipped kitchen. Lovely views from rear garden which is enclosed and safe for dogs. Ideal location for exploring South Lakes and only 50/60 mins drive to the more northern parts of Lakes. Would not hesitate to recommend and still our favourite Sykes' cottage with a very courteous and friendly owner.

• "Had a lovely time in the cottage suited us perfectly for days out."

  We didn’t spend much time there in the day but it was plenty big enough for the two of us and the dog. Perfect to walk into the centre for an evening meal we went to a couple of lovely pubs and the fish and chips were delicious. Everyone we met were very friendly and gave great suggestions for places to visit. Only downside is the front door opens straight out onto the road and it’s not very busy but the cars that did go up and down drove at a ridiculous speed which was a bit tricky trying to get out with the dog I feel they need speed bumps. Also the mattress was quite uncomfortable could do with a mattress topper. We had a lovely week and would definitely return.

• "The cottage was lovely and cosy with a brilliant log burner."

  We loved sitting in the kitchen to have our breakfast which overlooked the garden so we could watch the birds. The bathroom was lovely and big with a great bath for having a soak after a long day walking. The location of the cottage is perfect for the town centre and there are lots of great places to eat including a fab tapas place. Ulverston is a great place to stay and easy to get to lots of other places in the Lakes. We would definitely like to stay here again sometime.

• "One look at the guest book shows our delight at finding this cottage is shared by many others."

  It is a few minutes’ walk to the town centre and the cottage’s position gives lovely views from the back garden to Hoad Hill and the Sir John Barrow monument as well as over town cottages and houses below. The cottage itself is a stylish and well thought out conversion, where - thank you - things are easy to find and to use. It is light (lovely kitchen), warm and comfortable, and having Vicki next door with the keys or to answer questions is a bonus. Ulverston is great, a welcoming small town with individual shops, and we particularly like Gillams and The Mad Hatter cafes as well as The Northern Line gift shop. There are plenty of walks within the town, or to the coastline of Morecombe Bay along the canal, plus further afield along the Cumbrian Way. Car users are spoiled for choice - to the Dock Museum in Barrow, or up to the lakeside of Windermere and further afield.

  Lots of natural light from the large windows in the back that overlook the garden and the hillsides. The furnishings and design are wonderful. Everything needed was provided. Andrew and Vicky are very kind and are excellent hosts; they are just next door. The woodburning stove provided a lovely fire. There is a fireplace upstairs, as well. Keep an eye out for cars and bicyclists as the front door is very near the one lane road. This is a very special place and is within walking distance (5 mins) to the village.
