Brow Head, 'Empress Villas,' was originally owned by Vickers Armstrong, (now known as BAE Systems) & once housed top management & other famous people such as Barnes Wallace, the man who created the 'bouncing bomb'. Barnes Wallace stayed in Barrow-in-Furness during the early war years. By popular demand, we now enforce a no smoking policy within the hotel guest rooms/main public areas. Smoking on the premises is no longer allowed, but smoking in the foyer/outside the main entrance is still permitted. Barrow is a Victorian town surrounded by beaches and inspiring scenery.

Nearby Ulverston is home to the Laurel and Hardy Museum & Manjushri Mahayana Buddhist Centre at Coniston Head Priory.
