The property is appreciated for its easy walk into Ulverston and proximity to shops, with an M&S Food just a 2-minute walk away, enhancing the convenience for guests.

The apartments are noted for their comfortable furniture and high-end appliances. One guest suggested the addition of a grab rail in the bathroom for safety, but overall comfort is highly rated.

    Excellent instructions for arrival and departure. Plenty of well marked parking. Very nice apartment. Views lovely. Nice and quiet( September) . Great there is a lift. Sadly the very posh espresso machine would not work ( simple Tassimo would be much better). Odd to have an oven plus microwave / oven? Also to use the microwave you need to remove the metal shelf and metal side supports!! ( I would have remembered about the shelf but not the side supports!!) Beds were very comfortable ( except 2.5' wide is very restrictive for an adult!) pillows very comfortable. Great shower. We will return !!

    Everything about the mansion's apartments are perfect, beautifully decorated and stocked with everything you need (inc tea/coffee/milk /biscuits/bottled water). The communal space is stunning with activities and seating areas tucked away and the grounds are fabulous with lots of outdoor sports and hidden gems. Ulverston is in walking distance but be aware that the restaurants are very busy in summer so pre booking (by at least a week) is a must but there is an Aldi and M&S food hall 2 minutes away to stock up in. We will definitely be back with friends and family in the future.

    All was perfect! The only tiny comment … I couldn’t open any of the windows in the lounge …this was a shame as some fresh air would have been welcome.
