Lonsdale House Hotel

Housed within an elegant Georgian mansion that was built in the late 18th century, this charming hotel is superbly situated in the centre of Ulverston. Ulverston sits in the northern half of the Furness Peninsula, just south of the Lake District National Park. This ancient market town with its cobbled streets and quirky independent shops is home to the Laurel and Hardy Museum and is around a 40-minute drive from the M6.

The hotel is a 10-minute walk from the town’s train station, and a drive to Lake Windermere will take around 15-minutes. Nearby attractions include the South Lakes Safari Zoo and the Lakeside & Haverthwaite Railway. Furthermore, the hotel benefits from its own secluded gothic style walled garden that provides a delightful place for a drink on a warm summer’s evening.

Accommodation

The Lonsdale House Hotel has nineteen rooms, individually styled with either traditional or classic modern décor. The more traditional styled rooms include antique style furniture. Standard single, twin, double, and family rooms are available, all with en-suite bathroom facilities. For something a bit more special guests can book into a four-poster room.

These rooms are larger, feature carved wooden four-poster beds, and many of the bathrooms include whirlpool baths, as well as showers. In-room amenities include complimentary toiletries, free Wi-Fi, flat screen television with digital channels, radio alarm clock, iron and ironing board, hairdryer, and tea and coffee making facilities.

Restaurants & Bars

For hotel guests, a full cooked breakfast is included in the room rate with continental style options also available. The hotel has two lounges, one of which includes a bar. Both have comfortable sofas and provide a welcoming place to unwind. Light bites and snacks are available to order throughout the day to enjoy in the lounges or guests can request room service if preferred.

Between 2pm and 5pm each day a scrumptious cream tea is served with freshly baked scones and a choice of hot beverages. The Lonsdale does not have a restaurant, but Ulverston does have a good number of places to eat within a few minutes’ walk of the hotel.

Additional Facilities & Services

The Lonsdale House Hotel has two meeting rooms that can be used for a variety of functions, and, in addition, the walled garden can be booked for private events. Catering can be included if required.

This hotel does not have a private car park, but there is a public car park adjacent to the hotel with a charge of just £1 per 24 hours.
