Swarthmoor Hall sits in Ulverston, Lancashire, known as the cradle of the Quaker movement and home to the 17th-century Old Hall once connected to George Fox. You can stay in one of five self-catering cottages, sleeping two to eight people, or in guest rooms within the Old Hall itself, with one unit fully accessible. On site there's a cosy Barn Café and a shop selling books and gifts, alongside peaceful gardens and grounds set in the Cumbrian countryside. The location is right on the edge of the Lake District, with Ulverston station around 0.4 miles away, and the Laurel and Hardy Museum and Sir John Barrow Cottage both under a mile from the hall.
