Description
The Old School Apartment is part of a renovated building - which was the original Lower school site. The property is located just minutes from the centre of Ulverstons market town, where every Thursday there is a busy open market. Hoad monument is just a few minutes walk away and this replica of the Third Eddystone Lighthouse is now open to the public and at the top, eight apertures provide a magnificent 360-degree panorama of the Furness Peninsula, Morecambe Bay and the southern Lake District.
Situated near the start of the Cumbrian Way, there is fantastic hill and coastal walking/mountain biking right from the doorstep, with Coniston Old Man only a short drive away. South Lakeland is full of wonderful family attractions such as the South Lakeland Zoo, Holker Hall and Grizedale Forrest. Haverthwaite steam railway is a lovely way of visiting Lake Windermere - where the ferry can be boarded to Ambleside.
The Apartment is on the ground floor so ideal for buggies or anyone with mobility problems..
We do accept pets - but this is only with prior arrangement.

“Disappointing”
I have stayed in Ulverston many times and in 6 different properties, some of those several times. Some have been better than others but all extremely comfortable and clean - until this time. I have sent an email to the owner so wont go into more detail here except to say a professional clean is needed. I left early.

“Excellent location”
We spent a very good week at the Old School Apartment. The location was excellent, the town of Ulverston on the doorstep with the Barrow Monument on Hoad Hill just a few minutes walk away. Excellent selection of pubs in the town. Good road links into the Lake District National Park. Enjoyed the week.
