The property was well kept, and clean and tidy when we arrived, and was such a lovely homely atmosphere to the accommodation. The living area, kitchen and bedroom was all equally well used, and made our stay that little bit more pleasant. With the opportunity to cook our own meals, and relax in a quiet, relaxed environment.
The only thing about the property which i believe needs improvement would have been the hot tub, the information on the booking.com website that was misleading was that it was a log burner hot tub, although the guidance allowed us 4-6 hours for the usage, we was still waiting 7 hours later, considering we kept the fire going. It was abit disappointing as i had payed extra to ensure we had the hot tub, however we didn’t even get the chance to use it. Also, the hot tub wasn’t the cleanest, although the entire apartment was kept and well looked after, the hot tub was the disappointing part, when we was heating it up, we noticed that the hot tub had residue left in it, whether this was from previous tenants or just general maintenance.

The Old Brewery is perfectly placed for a trip to the southern Lake District with places such as Kendal and Windemere being only 30-40 minutes drive away. Ulverston is great town to be based in with plenty of restaurants and shops, Booths supermarket and Irving's Butchers are two standout places to shop. We were staying in the millings cottage which was amazing plenty of space for two with really good facilities and really cozy and comfortable.

Inside the flat there was plenty of room - indeed, much more than I expected in some rooms. The bathroom in particular was very spacious and the shower was both hot and vigorous. Leaving the floor open under the eaves in one bedroom meant that the three young children with me had lots of floor to play on and they thoroughly approved of the flat.
I wasn't aware that the entrance to the flat was up a flight of external stairs. The children with us were all confidently mobile so it was more a nuisance than an actual problem but if we had a baby in the party I would have been very cross. The advertised hot tub was certainly there, but it was heated by solid fuel and, according to instructions, took between 4 and 6 hours to heat up. We didn't bother and the children were somewhat disappointed. The Wifi was very slow and it was impossible to watch anything on my laptop in the bedroom I was in.

Beds were comfortable, loved the chair and footstool set, amazing kitchen. Lovely surprise bottle of prosecco.
Sadly the milk was off and we did not have time for the hot tub.

Lovely wee townhouse/cottage right in the heart of Ulverston. Had all the things we needed and the location in the village was great. A two minute walk to all the pubs and restaurants and shops.
Nothing we didn't like at all.

Excellent facilities, comfy beds and great location. Walking distance to the shops, cafes and restaurants. The hot tub was a great highlight and was easy to keep warm once we’d heated the water up. Parking space was really handy too. Would definitely come and stay again.

Situated in the centre of Ulverston, it was a great location to see the Lantern Festival procession & access shops, restaurants & pubs.
The hot tub (when it eventually heated up)
Friendly, helpful host who quickly sorted out issues with central heating, outside lights & provided extra logs for hot tub log burner.
Lack of a microwave or freezer. A little cold until the thermostat batteries were replaced.
Damp matches that wouldn’t light & the time & effort needed to light the log burner and keep it going long enough to heat the hot tub water.

Everything was good. Nicola was very friendly & we got in early. Comfortable stay. Thanx for Prosecco & milk.
The smell of burning from hot tub was very noticeable in house with windows closed

We stayed in the Last Cask which is a 3 bed property. It is very clean and spacious and located perfectly for the Lake District and other local areas. The bedrooms are such a good size with a TV in each one. The property is very tastefully designed with all the provisions that you need like a dining table, dishwasher and washing machine. The hot tub is a brilliant addition and we had plenty of logs supplied. It heats up quickly within 90 mins and stays warm for ages. I really want one at home now!
There are only 2 things and they are small. The outdoor space needs more lighting for the evenings. We bought candles as it was so dark. Also we were not left any chemicals for the hot tub so had to empty and refill when we wanted to use it. Not much of an issue but it meant we had to heat the hot tub from cold each time.

Good location, comfy bed and lovely shower
Not good communication with the owner, struggled to find the place at first and couldn’t get in touch with the owners and also rang again to see if we could get some more stuff for the hot tub but no answer again so could only use hot tub for one night. Curtain fell down on the second night and owner wasnt very helpful about it either. Left one night early as we were very disappointed

The property had 3 good sized bedrooms, the hot tub is a nice addition but as it is wood fired it takes 4 hours to heat up. The location is very central in Ulverston and a short walk from the Cumbria way, which is a lovely walk.
The property could do with a few extra cups (4 for 6 guest)! The outside space could be given a few more bushes etc to soften it.

The property was easy to find, with great instructions. The house was clean and to a good standard.
Good Location to the town and parking was a bonus. Good Wifi
The Steps into the property were too steep for our 75 year mother in law. The rug in the living room was rolled over and uneven and was a trip hazard so ended putting that away under the sofa. There was also not enough glasses for 5 people and only a dining table for 2!! Wasn't really big enough downstairs for a family of 5. The kitchen sink waste water seem to empty out all over the back patio, which was unpleasant and smelly.

Very well presented apartment with time and effort well spent
There was nothing I like that I could fault with the apartment. Sometimes you could get a bit of noise outside with cars driving past but I suppose that can be expected when you’re in a town centre.

loved staying here for a few nights, great location for town and local walks. Hot tub was great, once it’s been heated up it stays warm enough that it doesn’t take long to heat back up the next day. Also easy to operate - just follow the instructions and it’s perfect. Very clean and comfortable property, owners are lovely and will help with anything you need.
the only thing we had any problem with was just putting a towel down next to the shower because the water does get everywhere but this is a very little problem!

It was clean & tidy and a good location to the centre.
The log burner hot tub meant we were tied to the cottage whilst it took hours to heat up. It should advertise that's it this type of hot tub.

The location was great right in the heart of Ulverston which has a few nice places to eat and some lovely shops. Also a great base for exploring the lakes with many things in easy reach. We had a three bedroom roof top apartment which had views of the monument from the roof terrace which was lovely. The apartment was spacious and to a high quality with everything you needed. We luckily had a little sunshine one evening and the roof terrace was a lovely subtract. I would happily stay again and recommend to friends
Nothing specific, however a couple of bonus bits would have been. Coat hooks near the radiator in the hall to help dry coats as we were caught by the Cumbrian rain, however we used the towel rail instead. To state there are stairs up to the apartment. My dad has mobility issues so it would have been handy to know but we managed fine as it has a good hand rail.

Could not fault a thing. Great communications with the owner from initial booking stage through to arriving. Parking was great. Lovely holiday home. Was clean and had everything we needed. Beds comfortable and plenty of hanging for clothes. Short walk into Ulverston centre, where there were plenty of lovely pubs, restaurants etc. Will definitely be returning.

I wouldn’t describe these holiday lets as luxury. They are smartly furnished and are clean but there are lots of downsides to them. They are situated on an ongoing building project which is not mentioned in their description and wasn’t informed of prior to me paying. In order to get into the parking area, we had to move barriers over which were around a huge hole in the ground. I believed when booking I was renting a three bed cottage because again, the main description doesn’t say there’s a multitude of different options and I only found out that I wasn’t and that I had booked a three bed apartment when I got the instructions on how to reach the property two days before arrival. Because I’m disabled, I checked booking.com on the morning of arrival and discovered the three bed cottage was available so I text Kelly, the person who had sent me the property information, asking if I could swap the booking over and got no response whatsoever despite offering to pay any difference in costs. A simple answer saying that I was unable to would have sufficed. I struggled all weekend going up and down iron stairs because I wasn’t able to swap the accommodation and Kelly wasn’t even civil enough to reply to my text (which was delivered and never even read). Poor customer service right there. Happy to take your money but not happy to accommodate you thereafter.
The hot tub, well that doesn’t even bare thinking about. My husband spent most of Saturday trying to get it hot enough for use and then when we took the top off, discovered it was filthy inside. The water was greasy with a slimy film on top of it. So that was no use to us whatsoever.
The position of the properties is on the corner of two main roads used like an F1 track by the locals so is noisy at all times day and night. There are pedestrian crossings outside two sides of the apartment with continuous flashing orange lights which reflect up to two out of the three bedroom windows making it really difficult to sleep.

Very comfy beds. Cosy and well designed lounge area. Everything you would need in the kitchen.
Hot tub was lovely however it wasn’t hot enough to use until the second day so if you were staying only one night you wouldn’t get the benefit. By the second night though it was gorgeous!
There is some road noise which is to be expected in a heritage building. It didn’t bother me as I always travel with earplugs but something to be aware of.

Very close to town centre amenities Restaurants, cafes, museums, property very clean. modern decoration. Layout very usable and cosy ambiance. Bottle Proseco was a nice gesture by property owners.
Very fast traffic centre of town Ratrun racing by Front windows of property 24/7 Very noisy due to traffic flow. Ongoing building work to the complex took edge off comfort factor.

The location . Clean and fairly comfortable
No shelf storage in the bathroom if 5 people were stopping there would be toilet bags covering the limited floor space , thankfully their was only two of us so it wasn’t a massive problem also a lack of hooks to enable a robe or clothes to be hung . TV Chanel choice was limited I couldn’t work the Netflix .

Brewers rest - Deluxe Apartment was really lovely. Furnished to a very high standard and had almost everything you would need for your stay. Inside the apartment was exceptionally clean and comfortable. Perfect location in the middle of the town. Free parking spot was a huge plus. Use of a wood fire hot tub is also a nice addition. We received a lovely welcome and bottle of Prosecco on arrival which was a great start. Would definitely recommend.
Nothing to dislike as such just a couple of pointers as feedback.
There was no lighter / way to start the fire for the wood fired hot tub (we’re no smokers so we had to go out to buy a lighter).
The Wi-Fi code written in the guestbook was the wrong code and there was a little faff getting it sorted however this was eventually resolved.
The hot tub needs some sort of chemical cleaning aid / filter as the water was quite dirty, a little off-putting but can be easily fixed.
We wasn’t advised the name of the apartment before arriving. There’s 4 lock boxes all named and ours was eventually the 4th one we tried to open.
Bedroom window needs some sort of curtain or blind as it’s summer the sunlight was beaming in quite early (we like to lie in when we’re away).
