The small scattered hamlet of Pennington is located on the stunning Lake District Peninsula, where hills and beautiful walking country form the perfect backdrop. Visitors can locate the start of the Haematite and Cumbrian Way footpaths here, and refuel at the good twin pubs at Great Urswick Tarn. The nearby ancient market town of Ulverston offers a good selection of restaurants, pubs, shops, a leisure centre and a cinema. It is now home to the only Laurel and Hardy museum in the world, because it is here that Stan Laurel was born. The National Park, sandy beaches and birdwatching opportunities of the Furness Coast are close by. There is plenty for the family to see and do, including the South Lakes Wild Animal Park, Muncaster Castle and the Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway.
Reviews
"We just returned from a fab 2 weeks in this beautiful barn, wonderful location, very clean and comfortable. Lovely hot tub! Lots of things to do and enjoy around the area especially if you into walking! We wanted to stay! And we will definitely return! "
"When we arrived at the cottage, we were pleasantly surprised by the space and how lovely this cottage is. It is very well equipped with everything you need. The beds are extremely comfortable. It's nicely decorated throughout, and is one of the nicest accommodations we have stayed in. The hot tub is fabulous, only one recommendation is they could do with a toilet upstairs as currently you have to walk downstairs to use the toilet whilst in the hot tub. I was extremely conscious of putting water throughout the accommodation. You could walk down the side steps to the front door, but this is very dark at night and not really an option with children. I would certainly recommend this accommodation and will look to book again. One tip, keep the bathroom windows shut during the day and nights unless you want some visitors in the forms of frogs! Also the smoke alarm is situated right above the wood burning stove so if you have damp wood which gives off smoke, it then sets it off. Amazing week in amazing accommodation."
"Me my partner and two friends stayed for five days whilst we eloped! The barn had an almost instant at home feel with everything you could need. Beautiful location (although we only had one clear day to see the wonderful views properly) only niggle we had is the beds being to short, the tallest of us being 6ft7" ! But would 100% return to stay here! "
"My new husband and I stayed here for 5 nights after our wedding. It was the perfect place for us to relax and unwind after the wedding. The barn itself is beautiful and cosy. We loved lighting the log burner on a night and chilling on the sofa! The hot tub was an added bonus and we loved sitting in there with a glass of champers. The location is ideal for exploring the lakes, we went into ulverston for food a couple of times and visited coniston, cartmel, newby bridge and bowness - all in easy driving distance. Would highly recommend this barn for couples / groups / families looking for a perfect place to relax, within easy reach of the beautiful Lake District. "
"Returned from Hill Side Barn this weekend from out first family holiday. What an amazing place to stay. Situated in a great (and quiet) location in the hills above Ulverston the barn offers a great base to explore The Lakes and the surrounding area. The barn itself is very comfortable and kitted out with everything you could need for a relaxing holiday. Which brings me on to the hot tub - a perfect way to relax and unwind following a full day of doing touristy things. Very sad to be home!"
"We stayed in 2 of the cottages and thought it only fair to put a review on here, these are by far the best cottages we have ever stayed in , the decor and furnishings are amazing and so homely and comfortable that you won't want to leave the cottage, we had a Halloween party at the cottage whilst we were there and took full use of the hot tub after our long walks and bike ride. A lot of thought has been put in to the cottages with things like a slow cooker being put in the kitchen which was ideal for us, the bedrooms were comfy and the shower rooms fantastic.. In Ulverston there is some great pubs to get a meal and there's a lovely walk up to the lighthouse and if you get chance to go in the views from the top of the lighthouse are spectacular. All in all these are the best cottages we have ever stayed in since we started having the October half term week away some 5 years ago and we would have no hesitation in recommending them and also giving them a 10/10 . Hoping to get the big cottage this October so we can all holiday together and have a family party in that amazing kitchen.. Thank you for the great holiday. ... From the Yates Family,"
"just returned from a 3 night break .... what can I say perfection in every way .....fab cottage stunning position will be returning... owner could not do enough thanks steve"
"Lovely holiday let. Everything was very clean. Lovely and warm and comfortable. The hot tub was the icing on the cake. The wine, eggs and milk were a thoughtful touch. We would not hesitate to stay here again. If there was one thing we could have had it would have been a better reading light in the lounge but to be honest, that was the only thing we could find fault with and it certainly didn't mar our time away."
"Just got back from a week long relaxing break at the hill side barn, had the most amazing time, the barn was warm and welcoming!! Hot tub was lovely, spent most evenings in it with a glass of bubbly stuff looking at the stars! Ulverston is a lovely town with lots of shops to get the essentials. We visited the temple and the zoo whilst staying here as they were both a short drive away and would recommend these attractions to everyone. Would certainly go back and will be recommending it to friends."
"This barn conversion is fab !! Very well decorated all the way through very clean very modern Master bedroom has ensuite Have added bonus of its own hot tub. owners are very friendly"
"Stayed here for a week in early May - had an absolutely fantastic time staying here. We loved everything about the property, from the peaceful and tranquil location, the hot tub, the beautifully decorated interior to the hugely comfortable bed! I can't recommend Hillside Barn highly enough and we are already thinking about booking again for next year!"
"We had everything we needed on arrival with instructions on using the hot-tub. What we like most was the space and layout of the property, very light and airy with great views. Ulverston had nice shops and the Farmers' Arms restaurant was great. We liked the location quiet without being miles away from town. But didn't like having to drive on some muddy roads to get there. The directions caused some problems due the signage in town but once you got Hill Side Barn, it was well worth it. We would definitely stay there again. It was one of the best properties we've stayed in."
"Excellent accommodation, was a superb base for our holiday in the lakes. We rented this barn conversion from reading reviews on trip advisor and found them to be fully justified. We loved being isolated within the farm complex, having the sheep & cows as our nosy neighbours. Again echo the comments on the hot tub - this is an excellent feature and we loved having a glass of bubbly to celebrate our lovely holiday in it."
"this is our first stay in a cottage as we usualy book log cabins, what can i say !wow! we are so pleased we have found our perfect holiday heaven. the cottage has everything you could wish for , it is in a perfect location not far from ulverstone , but quiet and secluded. the hot tub is fab, and wine eggs and milk on arrival most welcome.there are also many extras not mentioned when booking ,like playstation 3 wi, a bookshelf with dvd,s books console games etc,this place is that good its booked solid so any future booking would have to be well in advance. only 1 week left this yr and i am just about to book .SORRY."
"The house was gorgeous. Very modern, well equipped and very clean and tidy. The welcome pack was excellent and the overall organisation of the whole holiday was excellent, from instructions to the local amenities."
"The cottage was very well appointed with everything we needed in a beautiful location. It was a short drive to the local town but was so quiet and peaceful with just the sound of the sheep and the cows chewing grass. Fantastic to have the hot tub to come home to at the end of the day and this was the icing on the cake. Would recommend and would definately return ourselves in the future."
"There is nothing about this barn we would change, it was very clean , comfortable and could have moved in to live, ...Hot tub was also very well attended to and vey helpful owners...Many thanks..."

"This was one of the best holiday cottages i have ever stayed in. only two miles from ulverston but we could have been anywhere in the depths of the country. It was furnished beautifully, everything was clean and seemingly new.There was everything you could possibly need in the kitchen which was a delight to cook in--being part of the one large open plan room. The highlight for us was the outside hot tub, this was amazing on a freezing January night---we sat in it for hours with the obligatory glass of wine. The resident dog was a delight---he wandered in, decided whether our tea was better than his, then finding it wasn't---went away --but called next day to check out breakfast. Altogether we loved it and will certainly go back next year. Probably in the winter months as I expect the summer holidays could get quite busy."
"Excellent choice for a family celebration. Owners very friendly and helpful. Barn lovely throughout with beautiful furnishings. Many thoughtful extras. Loved the wood burner and open plan living. Excellent location and the single track road was even passable in the snow! The barn is child friendly with a safety gate on the stairs.Would love to return to this cosy barn."
"2nd time we have visited, and we thoroughly enjopyed ourselves. The outside spa was the reason we had booked and this was excellent although it did take a bit of effort to go out to it on the Saturday night when it was raining. Inside they had refurbishjed the bathroom and this was a good improvement. The fire in the main living area was not really required but we used it anyway because it was nice to have a log fire. We all enjoy cooking so we made sure that we brought utensils we thought we might need, one area where we felt there could be an improvement."
"Fabulous barn conversion in glorious setting with hot tub as added bonus. Very well equipped and to high stanard Safe environment for children"
"I would recommend this place for other people to stay if they want to get away from it all but be able to travel to areas within the Lake District. The hot tub was also a greated added feature. We had a great stay."
"Everything about this cottage was stunning, it was in a great peaceful location with plenty of things around to do if you fancy a day out. The owners were very friendly and always helpful if help was needed. The cottage was in great condition very clean and spacious! We had a lovely time there and would recomend it to everyone."
"The cottage is very modern and had everything we needed. It was in a great location if you needed anything from the shop as it was only 5 minute drive and also the locals are friendly. Will bhopefully be re-visiting in the future and would definately recommend to friends and family."
"The property was everything we could have wished for. The amenities throughout were superb. Outside we had the bonus of the hottub and barbeque. The barn was far enough out of Ulverston for peace and quiet, but not too far if we wanted a newspaper. There was 6 adults in our party and we weren't falling over each other. None of us were ready to leave and wished we'd had another week. We have recommended this property to family and friends"
