Guests that stayed at this property said
Guests consistently describe the cottage as clean and tidy, indicating a high standard of cleanliness. There are no negative comments regarding this aspect, suggesting that guests are very satisfied with the level of cleanliness during their stay.
The location is highly praised for its tranquility, stunning views, and proximity to local walks and peaks. The remoteness is seen as a positive feature by most guests, although it may not suit everyone. The scenic drives and wildlife add to the charm of the location.
The cottage is repeatedly referred to as comfortable, with special mentions of cosy rooms and comfortable beds. The spaciousness and warmth of the cottage contribute to the overall comfort experienced by guests.
Facilities are generally well-received, with the cottage being described as well-equipped. However, a few guests suggested improvements in the kitchen equipment and the provision of basic supplies. The separate orchard with seating is appreciated, as are the efficient showers and heating system.
While guests mention the hospitality of the owners and some instances of gifts such as flowers and wine, there is not enough consistent information about thoughtful touches or gifts to provide a score. It should be noted that such gestures, while appreciated, are not guaranteed for every stay.
About this property
Broughton-in-Furness 5 miles. This charming cottage, attached to a Lakeland farmhouse, nestles on a fellside, 2 miles from the tiny village of Seathwaite, in the beautiful Duddon Valley in the Lake District National Park. This cottage in Seathwaite is surrounded by spectacular countryside, with breathtaking mountain views in every direction. Carefully appointed to provide spacious holiday accommodation, this Seathwaite cottage has been sympathetically restored to retain many original features including oak beams and stone flag floors. The large sitting room has a cosy woodburning stove to snuggle next to after a day exploring this beautiful area, and is very spacious with lots of room to spread out. The charming farmhouse-style kitchen has a stone flagged floor and exposed stonework, highlighting the character of this lovely old traditional Seathwaite cottage. Outside is a small terraced garden, a perfect place to sit back and admire the valley below. This Seathwaite cottage offers superb walking and mountain biking from the doorstep, with ever-changing scenery to invigorate and relax every guest. Just 2 miles down the lane is the tiny village of Seathwaite together with an excellent pub. Follow the lane as it weaves its way alongside the River Duddon, passing the picturesque Birks Bridge into the valley floor with Harter Fell and The Old Man of Coniston standing proudly at either side. This Seathwaite cottage is a perfect place to escape to at any time of the year.
Broughton-in-Furness is situated in the south western corner of the Lake District and is just six miles from Coniston Water. The village offers a cobbled square, shops and pubs. From Broughton-in-Furness walking and climbing can be enjoyed, plus the Furness railway line runs from nearby Foxfield and makes for an ideal day out.

The only thing that wasnât ideal was that we tried to amend the booking (over 48 hours before) to say that we had our family joining us (6 instead of 2 adults, and 2 infants). But the owners were not notified of this. Thankfully they called on the morning of the day we were arriving, so I was able to confirm the change. They were super gracious and welcoming, despite this being the first they knew of it. Really lovely people! Sykes booking system needs looking at though. We hope to return to Kiln Bank, after such a perfect stay
