Oak in Ulverston | Must-See Yorkshire Dales Hot Tub Cottage

About Oak

Oak is a stylish pod lodge at Low Flan Farm in Ulverston, Cumbria, right on the edge of the Lake District. This single-storey studio-style accommodation sits on a working farm with spectacular countryside views that guests rave about. Perfect for escaping the tourist crowds while still being close enough to all the Lake District action.

The setting is wonderfully peaceful - you'll have rolling hills on your doorstep and the cute market town of Ulverston just a short walk away. Walks start right from your door with the local landmark "Pepper Pot" offering stunning sunset views. After a day exploring the fells or nearby beaches, nothing beats sinking into your private hot tub with a favourite drink.

The pod sleeps 4 with a comfortable double bed and a sofa bed in the studio layout. Inside you'll find a well-equipped kitchenette with a 2-ring halogen hob, microwave, fridge, kettle and toaster. The modern shower room has a walk-in shower, basin and heated towel rail. Everything's spotlessly clean - a point mentioned in almost every review.

Explore Coniston Water (20 mins drive), climb the Old Man of Coniston, or visit the South Lakes Safari Zoo (15 mins). Ulverston itself has award-winning restaurants and pubs just 15 minutes' walk away.

Oak is ideal for couples, small families or anyone who wants to escape with their dog. The owners Carol and Ian keep the place immaculate and their friendly farm dogs might just steal your heart. The hot tub gets emptied and sterilized between guests - because nobody wants to sit in someone else's soup.

Oak Reviews

Mathew

This place is for all the family and a great place with owners who care about there customers. There is so much to do in the area, we did our break in winter.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Oak pod. Only a few minutes from pretty town of Ulverston, but you feel you are truly on retreat from busy town life, with stunning views of the hills around us from our window and from the hot tub, which was a lovely treat. Also it was wonderfully quiet. All the advantages of the outdoors you get with camping but so much easier, with the kitchen facilities, loo, shower, WiFi and able to charge you phone easily. Plenty to do within an easy drive of Ulverston. We enjoyed being visited by the owners lovely two dogs each morning and evening. When the weather was wet and stormy it was lovely to get in the hot tub, and we felt safe and dry with the storm raging around us that night which you don't when you're in a tent in that sort of weather!. Then when the weather was hot we were comfortably ventilated at night in the pod. Can't recommend it highly enough, would definitely stay in one of these again.

This was our second stay, couldnt recommend it enough if your looking for somewhere quiet and scenic.

Thank you for an amazing time away. The owners were helpful the lodge was extremely clean, quite and peaceful location, lovely to see the two donkeys and their two very friendly dogs Polly and Meg. The hot tub was a real treat after adventuring out into the rolling hills of the Cumbrian Countryside and exploring all the beaches. Perfect location thank you so much amazing relaxing time away. All the best for 2025

A great stay, slightly bigger than some pods we have stayed in, well furnished and warm. Really enjoyed the hot tub after a day walking in the fells. Easy to reach the restaurants of Ulverston.

Just returned from an amazing stay . We have just returned from a seven night stay at low flan farm in the oak Facilities and pod were amazing so comfortable and clean. Carol and Ian are lovely people and their farm is a credit to them.lovely peaceful retreat.Hot tub fantastic. We will miss it all and the dogs and will defnately be returning and recommending.

Stayed in Oak pod for 3 nights, everything about the stay was perfect. Views were gorgeous and the pod was extremely clean and well kept. Would recommend to anyone!

Beautiful pod, amazing views, friendly owners. Never felt so relaxed. Wish we could have stayed longer. Cant wait to return.

Matthew

Thank you for a lovely stay. Lower Flan Farm was the perfect place to relax and unwind after a day exploring the Lakes. Without a doubt would return. Truly dog friendly making it an enjoyable visit for all.

Caroline Jayne

A little slice of heaven! Everything was spotless in Oak lodge and we had the most fantastic stay there! The lodge had everything we needed, plus its decorated really nicely making it feel so homely. Loved the little touches of all the bee furnishings and really lovely quality amenities. Really easy communication from the owners and such a perfect location! We enjoyed local walks into the town centre as well as further afield and would love to come back some time. The location is just idyllic, and the perfect holiday to get away from it all and relax.

Michael

Although it was a beautiful place to stay and very comfortable I think its very overpriced at 250 a night.

What a great location. The hot tub was excellent. Very helpful host. Plenty of places to eat in Ullverston.

Weve just arrived home from a 1 week stay in the oak pod . We had a fantastic week the pod was immaculate and had everything you needed. Ian and Carol were very friendly and were always on hand if anything was needed . Meg the sheepdog and polly the pup made our trip even more special . It really is a hidden gem . Very quiet location but shops and restaurants just a short walk away . We would also recommend a walk up the pepper pot my husband and I and our dogs walked up it every evening to watch the sunset . We will definitely be returning and would highly recommend to anyone thinking of visiting low flan farm .

Just finished the week in oak with these amazing hosts carol and Ian let's not forget meg the sheepdog and the new arrival Polly the lakeland terrier. Let me just mention these dogs are so friendly and will keep your kids from under your feet. This place is so tranquil and the views from the pods are second to none. Carol and Ian can't do enough to help but also give you your privacy. Pods are 100 pristine carol does a fantastic job. The hot tubs, are emptied and sterilised for ever new guest. It's a perfect location to explore the lakes, don't over look ulverston town as this is a little gem 5 minutes from a Aldi supermarket are if you are feeling posh a booths. If you don't fancy cooking they are a award winning takeaway which will deliver directly to your pod. For the best freerange eggs see carol. We have just got back after a week's stay and already booked again big thank you to carol and Ian. Keep up the good work. Tony Charlotte and Lexi

Samantha

Perfect Location, Beautiful views, walks on your doorstep, peacefully quiet! Hot tub! Couldnt ask for more! Love to return in the future

A 10 out of 10 holiday. We couldnt have asked for more, the pods were spotless and the facilities were great, the hot tub was great to relax in after a day of walking up the old man of Coniston. Wonderful hosts. They couldnt do enough for you to make our stay more comfortable. Some great local walks as well loads to do a little further afield if you want.

Kathryn

Awesome place to stay. Carol and Ian do a great job of maintaining the pods to a superb standard. And Meg the sheepdog, who kept an eye on us and enjoyed some fuss when our dog wasn't looking! Well equipped, warm and comfortable. Hot tubs checked every day, very clean. Plenty of towels for use. Kitchenette has everything you need to self cater, tho Ulverston has some great pubs and restaurants, just a short walk away, either via the road or more scenic routes across fields or woodland. Views from the pod and the hottub are spectacular, especially at sunset. We had some rather unseasonal weather but still felt cozy would consider a stay here in winter too. A nice quiet area to stay away from the busy parts of the lakes, but easy enough to visit those areas as well as the coast from here. We will return.

Darren

It was a fantastic holiday we will be booking up again, the hosts carol and Ian ... It was a fantastic holiday we will be booking up again, the hosts carol and Ian we great really welcoming and helpful, the holiday property was lovely, clean and had everything you needed for your stay

Had a lovely 2 night stay here, very clean on arrival, lovely views and nice area. My 2 kids loved it and also my dog who made friends with the farm dogs, we wished we had booked longer. The owner showed us directions for a walk upto the monument and also gave us some drinks and snacks for the kids! Very appreciated Thankyou

Great time spent here. Staying on a working farm was great for our kids, they loved seeing & holding baby chicks and calves, one born only within a couple of hours. Such an experience. Such a dog friendly place, our Labrador loved playing with their dog Megan who called for him daily. Very close to Coniston & Windermere. Ulverston is within walking distance, lots of shops, restaurants and pubs. Hot tub was a bonus, great size and so clean. The pod was perfect everything you need and a really good size, plenty of space for us 4 and our dog. Will return in lambing season next thank you

Fantastic location, stunning views and lovely hosts We had a wonderful stay we highly recommend it

Victoria

A little piece of heaven on earth. Carol and Ian are both lovely and the glamping pods are perfect if I could give 10 stars I would! Everything was spotlessly clean when we arrived. We arrived late on the evening because of work commitments and I didnt expect anyone to greet us but Ian was still up and told met us at the farm gate. The hot tub was so relaxing after a days mountain biking and exploring with great views over the hill side. Our three year old daughter loved playing in the glamping field with Meg and Ruby the farm dogs and there is also a great play park at Ford Park in Ulverston. We really loved our stay and will be back again.

Had a really good short stay very relaxing. Short walk into Ulverston lovely town plenty of eateries

It was just me and my boyfriend for a getaway after finishing university and it was the perfect place to go, the huts were cosy and quite and the view was incredible. We will definitely be visiting again

Daniel

Matthew

A big thank you to the owners of the accommodation. We used it as a retreat and a stay whilst we made trips out. It was perfect. Comfortable, clean, tidy, everything we needed and we were made very welcome and owners were friendly and really nice people. All needs were met . A plus was the he dog friendly element of the stay, as we traveled with our young puppy. He really enjoyed it and we loved the fact that we could interact with the owners dogs too. Already booked for next year, and cant wait!!! Thank you.
