The Old Hall is situated within the stunning Swarthmoor Hall, which is a Grade II listed building and surrounded its own beautiful grounds. The property has two double bedrooms and a twin bedroom, all with en-suite bathrooms. There is also a well-equipped kitchen and a cosy living room with an open fire. The hall dates back to 1600 by lawyer George Fell. After his death, it was passed down to his son, Judge Thomas Fell, and his wife, Margaret. Swarthmoor Hall was visited by the founder of the Quaker movement, George Fox, in 1652. After Thomas Fell’s death, George wed Margaret Fell, and he stayed at the hall intermittently throughout his life.
Please note that this apartment is a repurposed hotel therefore there are some locked rooms that are not in use. It may not be suitable for those with young children as the living room is a little way from the bedrooms. The hall is located only 2 miles away from the coast and just over a mile away from the thriving town of Ulverston, which has a host of fantastic local restaurants, public houses, shops and an indoor market. Stunning Coniston Water is only 13 miles away where you can spend a day lazing around the water. Or perhaps take a steam train from nearby Haverthwaite station to the bottom of Lake Windermere and go for a wander around the aquarium. Beach 3 miles. Shop 1 mile, pub and restaurant 300 yards.
