A hidden gem! We stayed in the Garden Suite for a few nights and honestly could not have asked for better. From the moment we booked we felt welcome and this continued throughout our stay. The accommodation was perfect for us - warm, comfortable and ideally equipped for our needs. Location wise it was great too, allowing us easy access to hiking trails in the Windermere and Coniston areas, as well as close proximity to some great places to eat out (and a great little cafe on site). Thanks to the offer of an impromptu guided tour, we also had the opportunity to see Swarthmoor Hall itself. Such an amazing restoration story and a chance to learn more about the Quakers. We've already talked about coming back next year, and will be recommending Swarthmoor Hall to friends as well.
I recently visited Swarthmoor Hall, and what a lovely experience it was! This charming little building from the 17th century is nestled just outside Ulverston, making it a peaceful escape. The rich history of George and Margaret Fell truly adds character, and I found myself fascinated by their story as I explored the quaint surroundings. The gardens are simply delightful—perfect for a leisurely stroll or finding a quiet spot to reflect. After some fresh air, I enjoyed a drink at their cozy café that offered an array of delicious cakes! Everything felt reasonably priced for such quality. Whether rain or shine, Swarthmoor Hall is definitely worth the visit!
Deep in the history of Furness peninsula. 500+ years
Fascinating history of the quakers in there old hall,just opened after a few years undergoing a major change and improvement
Beautiful old building and gardens. They are doing a fantastic job in maintaining it. So glad and appreciative to see it on the open day today.
We came to visit a historical site for Quakers. I'm so grateful I made it. I hope to come back when the whole site is open and it's not raining. The staff were so hospitable. We walked from Ulverston and I highly recommend if you are able. I'm abit challenged mobility wise but so worth it. We were able to get a taxi for the trip back. The gardens surrounding the manor are beautiful.
Planning to visit
Serene and cosy in the midst of the country, with wide views, quiet nights and very comfortable beds.
