A pretty, semi-detached cottage, on the edge of the old village of Scales, just a mile from the sea and 4 miles from the ever-popular market town of Ulverston. This charming Scales cottage provides warm, welcoming accommodation, with a spacious sitting room, cosy multi-fuel stove, two delightful bedrooms and a small, well-equipped kitchen with useful porch area. In a quiet and peaceful area, with fabulous Lakeland countryside and the beautiful beaches and coastline of the Furness Estuary on the very doorstep, this Scales holiday cottage is close to the festival town of Ulverston, with its many pubs and restaurants and bi-weekly market, whilst the sandy beaches of the Furness coast and Coniston, with its mountain biking, climbing and watersports, are just a short drive away.

The small village of Scales is situated on the Cumbrian Peninsula and makes a fabulous base to explore this gem of an area. The name Scales originates from an old Norse word meaning âhuts'. Ulveston, an ancient market town, is only four miles away and it has retained its community spirit, holding a thriving street market every Thursday and Saturday and there are many festivals throughout the year. One of the claims to fame Ulveston has is that it is the birthplace of Stan Laurel, and to commemorate their famous son there is a Laurel and Hardy Museum.

Reviews
Cosy, very comfortable and so peaceful. Even in November it was a lovely place for my two Yorkies.
The cottage was lovely and quite remote which was good. The sitting room was comfy and my family and I had a great time.
This cottage is in a small village and the neighbours are very friendly. It is very peaceful and well located. An ideal base for days out and quiet evenings
The house was a good base for us. We were able to get to all our activities easily. It was warm and cosy for us to relax when we returned in the evening.
Loved the location of the cottage, gorgeous little village. Cozy log burner. Loved that it was dog friendly too. I would return.
This was the perfect holiday cottage we have stayed at in this area. It was just like being back at home, comfortable and very friendly and welcoming. We shall be going there again.
The cottage in an ideal location and was an ideal size and clean. The wood burner was great following a days walking, the dogs especially liked lying in front of it. We will be visiting again in the future.
Nice cottage, nice village. It was really handy for our family party.
The main living area was very nicely furnished and the level of cleanliness was fantastic.
A cosy cottage with very helpful owners. We loved the wood burning stove!
The cottage is in a very quiet and friendly village. The perfect place to rest and relax which was what I needed and our dog had a lovely time on the walks.
Had a lovely relaxing stay nice and central to see other areas providing you have a car.
The cottage was excellent, accessible to both lakes and coast. The scenery is outstanding and plenty to do in the area.
The location of the property was an excellent base between the beach and the lakes.
Ideal location for the beach and for dog walking. Lovely to have a wood burner ready to be lit.
Perfect location, fantastic decor and it is dog and baby friendly.
It was a home from home, very comfortable, fantastic views and local area for walking and biking. Ideal place to take our dog and very easy to find.
Nice location and the neighbours are very friendly. It was lovely coming back to the cottage on a cold evening to a wood burning fire.
We had a great time there in a lovely cottage, nice surroundings and a beautiful coutryside ahead
Cottage very clean, nicely and tastefully equipped, cosy and comfortable.
The location; very quiet and peaceful.
This was a late booking and we were lucky to find such a nice cottage to take pets. We loved location, the freedom it gave us, and we were very lucky with the weather. The neighbours were friendly and let us have lots of information about the area.
Lovely, cosy cottage, very well maintained in a peaceful area. We enjoyed our stay very much.
We stayed in Beech Cottage over the February Half Term Holiday. We arrived late on Friday evening and were delighted to find the fire was lit, there was fresh milk in the fridge, and tea and coffee on the worktop in the kitchen, all we needed to do was boil the kettle! The fuel was included, the cottage was warm, clean and well equipped. We had a fantastic stay and would recommened the property to anyone wanting a quiet break.
The holiday was lovely, the cottage was very comfortable and nicely laid out and in a lovely peaceful village but not too far from major towns. The weather was glorious which obviously helped!
The area surrounding the cottage itself was beautiful with peace and tranquility. We were met by the owners who had already lit the fire and left us fresh milk in the fridge!
