DESCRIPTION OF BARRIE HOUSE

The building of Barrie House began in 1873 by John Poole of Ulverston who employed builders William Park and George Kelsall of Barrow in Furness. John Poole was the Coroner for the Liberty and Manor of Furness and clerk to Ulverston School Board and a solicitor.

A Victorian house of magnificent proportions, Barrie House was converted to a Guest House during the last century. It provides comfortable and friendly accommodation retaining many of the original Victorian features. Barrie Guest House continues with the traditions of elegance and stylish comfort.

From first entering the building with its Minton tiled lobby and elegant staircases to the first and second floors, you are assured of a warm welcome.

We are situated on one of the main approaches to the town and within walking distance of the railway station, town centre shops and night clubs.

Our 11 guest bedrooms are well equipped to ensure the comfort of your stay and each has a television, tea and coffee making facilities, central heating, bedside lights and a wash hand basin with fresh soap and towels.

Some rooms are ensuite but many of our guests enjoy a long relaxing soak in the vast Victorian bathroom on the first floor.
