Guests that stayed at this property said
The majority of guests found the property to be spotless and well-maintained, with only a few isolated comments about the need for better cleaning of pans and a blocked shower drain.
The cottage is consistently praised for its great location, with easy access to local shops, pubs, and the Lake District's attractions, making it an excellent base for exploring the area.
While many guests found the beds comfortable and the property spacious, there were several remarks about the need for more comfortable seating and better lighting in the living room.
The property is well-equipped, especially the kitchen, but some guests noted issues with window latches, scratched pans, and a partially blocked shower drain. The mention of a well-supplied kitchen and ample pots and pans suggests good overall facilities.
Guests mentioned thoughtful gestures such as welcome biscuits and scones on arrival, which contributed positively to their experience. However, it should be noted that such gestures are at the discretion of the owner and may not be a consistent offering.
About this property
A semi-detached, three-storey cottage, located in a quiet corner of Broughton-in-Furness on the quiet south west corner of the Lake District. This cottage has been lovingly restored by the current owners to provide spacious, well-equipped accommodation which is ideal for a family or a group of friends wishing to get together and enjoy this largely undiscovered area. This cottage features an open plan living area with a warm and cosy woodburning stove, a delightful summer room, a modern kitchen and four well laid out bedrooms. Just a two-minute walk from the cottage is the charming town centre with its beautiful square lined with Georgian houses and the local pubs and restaurants. Just six miles away is Coniston Water and for the more energetic there are the challenging fells of The Old Man of Coniston and Wetherlam, which offer a stiff challenge. Visit the market town of Ulverston, or explore a little further on the coastline to Ennerdale and the magnificent Scafell Pike, the tallest point in England and probably the most beautiful area in Lakeland. A wonderful cottage, to be enjoyed at any time of the year.
Broughton-in-Furness is situated in the south of the Lake District, six miles from Coniston Water. The village has a square which is enclosed by shops, pubs and homes.

Jane
it was good value. But i do think there is room for improvment . Think the cleanliness could be better. And i think better quality bedding and towels are needed . There is four bedrooms. but did feel cramped in the down stairs living space.

The location is great - close enough to the centre of Broughton in Furness to walk in and also near enough to the rest of the Lakes to easily drive anywhere else. The cottage was very spacious and had all the facilities described. Kitchen large enough to cook in and everything provided that you would need. Rooms clean, tidy and comfortable. We had a great stay and would recommend.
