The picturesque village of Great Urswick is awash with history from the hill fort to the ancient village church. The village tarn provides the perfect place for lazy days spent picnicking or fishing. Walks over Birkrigg common are accessible from the village and will reward you with panoramic views over the Furness Peninsula, Morecombe Bay and the fells of the nearby Lake District. Just three miles from the village is the traditional market town of Ulverston, famed for its diverse range of festivals throughout the year. The pretty cobbled streets are littered with specialist shops, cosy pubs, traditional markets and cultured hotspots. South Lakes Wild Animal Park is only a short drive from Oronsay, here you can hand feed giraffes and walk amongst wallabies, kangaroos and lemurs. Oronsay has been delightfully refurbished, blending modern design with the irreplaceable charm of old exposed beams, pretty latched doors and traditional fireplaces. Cosy nights can be spent dining in front of the open fire or in the warmer months enjoy a glass of wine alfresco in the quaint garden. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the cottage: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Car required - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Hob - Lobster/crab pot - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 4 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1.5 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Jetted bathtub - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room - Separate dining area - Wood stove ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - Games - Stereo - TV - Video library ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Garden - Outdoor furniture ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - Area rugs in public areas - Handrails in stairways - Smooth flooring in public areas - Stair-free path to entrance - Thin carpet in public areas - Tile flooring in public areas - Upper floors accessible by stairs only - Visual alarms in hallways - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Change of bedsheets (on request) - Change of towels on request - Housekeeping (limited availability) - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a rural location - In a village - Near a hospital - Near a zoo - Near an outlet shopping centre - Near the bay - On the waterfront ### Things to do - Bicycle parking - Golf - Birdwatching nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Mountain climbing nearby - Swimming nearby - Theme park nearby - Water skiing nearby - Wildlife walks nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher ### General - Bed sheets changed on request - Bicycle parking - Double-glazed windows - Garden - Humane treatment of captive wild animals - Local artist showcase - Locally-owned and organised tours and activities - Recycling - Towels (changed on request) ## Similar properties ![4 bedrooms, iron/ironing board, WiFi, bed sheets](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/117000000/116060000/116054100/116054033/w1177h800x23y0-bc220d33.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 4 Bedrooms-4 Bathrooms House Barrow-in-Furness - Kitchen - Washer - Microwave £220 includes taxes & fees 16 Nov - 17 Nov [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-16&endDate=2025-11-17&selected=116054033&PinnedHotelID=116054033&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/34000000/33590000/33584700/33584623/11ea9e2d.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Spacious, detached & private Lakeland hideaway near Cark / Cartmel Cumbria - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Free WiFi 10 Exceptional 9 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-28&endDate=2025-11-29&selected=33584623&PinnedHotelID=33584623&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/113000000/112320000/112314700/112314651/8918dcb6.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### House - Sleeps 12 - Parking - WiFi Barrow-in-Furness - Kitchen - Parking available - Microwave [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-28&endDate=2025-11-29&selected=112314651&PinnedHotelID=112314651&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/32000000/31780000/31772000/31771993/628a7fbd.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Beachside Cottage Idyllic Situation, Stunning Views Over Morecambe Bay & Lakes.
