Lonsdale House Boutique Apartments

Self-catering apartments in Ulverston

Looking for a comfortable place to stay in Ulverston, with a little more space than a hotel room? Lonsdale House is a beautiful Grade II listed Georgian townhouse in the heart of the town, with parts dating back to the 1600s. Inside are 13 self-catering apartments, each with its own kitchen and bathroom, so you can come and go as you please and enjoy your stay at your own pace.

We're at 11 Daltongate, just a short walk from the shops, cafés and pubs of the town centre, and a lovely base for exploring the Lake District, Morecambe Bay and the South Lakes.
