Hibbert Galore

Hibbert Galore works well for families or small groups needing their own space without the drive into the mountains. The house sits within reach of Barrow-in-Furness town centre, with its shops, pubs and restaurants, while Walney Island and its beaches are just 2 miles away. A 15-minute drive takes you to Ulverston's independent shops and regular festivals, and from here the Lake District proper is accessible for day trips.

The layout spreads across two floors. Downstairs holds a sizeable living and dining room with a Freeview Smart TV, and a kitchen with a gas cooker, microwave, fridge and washing machine. Upstairs are three bedrooms—two doubles and a single—along with a bathroom that has both bath and shower. There's a back garden with sitting-out space and furniture. Essentials like bed linen, towels, electricity and Wi-Fi are covered; heating is gas central. Parking is on-road, and the entrance involves two steps. The property is non-smoking.

Walney Island draws walkers and water sports enthusiasts to its sandy stretches and hosts two nature reserves where seals are regularly spotted. For family visits, South Lakes Safari Zoo is within reasonable distance, or you might explore Furness Abbey's ruins. The Dock Museum tells the area's industrial history.
