Sanctuary Guesthouse has been running for over a year and has a very experienced team of professionals behind it. We have been renting out rooms to professionals including contractors for over 6 years in Barrow in Furness. We have used our experience to see a gap in the market for a large self catering property in the heart of Barrow. It has recently been refurbished but we are constantly striving to improve our customer's experience.

I am a business woman with two children. I have been self employed in the property industry for 12 years, prior to that I was a children's social worker. I love working with people. My favourite part of hosting is seeing people's faces when they walk in and appreciate our hard work. Sanctuary Guesthouse is a labour of love for me. :)

Barrow in Furness is a typical industrial town in some ways but in others it has hidden gems to explore and discover. The beaches are varied and many and the 800 year old former monastry, Furness Abbey is breath takingly beautiful any time of year. There is a lovely museum attached to this English Heritage site and it's a favourite amongst locals and tourists alike. The guesthouse is ideally located in the town centre, 10 minutes walk from several supermarkets, only a few minutes stroll from some great gastro pubs (The Duke of Edinburgh, The Railway and The Town House being favourites) as well as 2 streets from the high street. Barrow is a bustling town full of friendly people. It is understated and reasonably priced due to this, but it holds great opportunities for entertainment and an enjoyable weekend away.
