  • "When we booked Moore Cottage we observed pictures of it looking isolated as per the previous properties we have booked with Sykes."

    Actually Brockwood Hall where it is situated is a complex with lodges. Therefore, it was much noisier and more frenetic than we are used to. The property itself is a beautiful character dwelling with fabulous period features. However, the underfloor heating didn't work properly and other lodges seemed to be able to control our TV signal! We did report our issues via WhatsApp initially, which is what the brochure suggested and then, during a named storm to the restaurant on site as it was tough to find the out of hours service protocol. The maintenance operative came up from Millom and helped but it took a while for the site manager to deal with us or indeed leave a note. I would imagine that this Cottage will become cold as the autumn and winter progress. This is as, even though there are fires in the bedrooms and lounge the warmest room seems to be the downstairs w c. Apparently it has been a year and a half that the underfloor heating has not worked? Would an owner really leave it that long? I was surprised and even more perturbed that the WhatsApp contact directed us to First Group South Africa initially! All in all a lovely cottage but not really tranquil as lots of noise from other lodge guests and why there couldn't have been a property book regarding maintenance issues I am not sure as it is a decent interval since Covid. There was a hot tub at site but we didn't use it as the property was overlooked and it was cold and we didn't know how to use it. Decor lovely but some basics need attention as per above comments.

  • "We had a lovely stay apart from the weather."

    The cottage was really nice and comfortable, quality furnishings and bed linen and towels, very clean through out. Our granddaughter loved the hot tub. The staff were very helpful and friendly we could not fault the place. There was a couple of minor things such as only one small frying pan and no hooks in one of the bedrooms to hang things like dressing gowns, not major and did not impact our stay, just giving the feedback for the owners. We have stayed in a number of cottages over the years and this one is high on our list, would highly recommend the cottage .

  • "We were surprised at how cute and first class this cottage is."

    From linen/towels to clean hot tub, its like youre staying in a 5star hotel only it is self catering. There’s a shop in the vicinity which sells good price stuff u might need. We had a lovely time in Moore Cottage in Brockwood, Millom. And hope we can come back again

    Thank you for your feedback, Moore Cottage is a lovely cottage which we have refurbished. We try to stock the basics that guests may require whilst onsite. We hope to see you again soon. Property Owner

  • "The cottage was in a beautiful place to stay, comfortable & pleasant."

    The hot tub was an added bonus & well maintained. The staff excellent, helpful & friendly. The only bad thing was lack of bathroom doors. Even with the fan on , the windows in the bedroom became damp & the nearest bed in the bedroom to the left of the stairs was damp. I tried to air it well.

    Many thanks for the feedback we will speak to our maintenance team and look at the above issue. Many thanks again Property Owner

  • "Such a lovely cottage and the location with its little shop and pub was fab."

    The views stunning. The cottage facilities had everything. All you needed was clothes and food. Even all the little extras like tea towels, oven cloves, dishwasher capsules, washing up liquid and soap and towels all included. Made use of the hot tub which was emptied on our departure. Everything was perfect for our family of 4 and we are likely to return. The beds were firmer than ours at home but not uncomfortable. One bed was king and one was too singles pushed together so if you had 2 children like was ideal Couldn’t fault the cottage or the service Full marks from us Thank you

    Thank you for taking time out to review our park am so glad we meet your expectations and you all enjoyed your stay. we hope to see you back again soon. Kind Regards Property Owner

    The only error in the listing was ‘smart TV’ which it didn’t actually have. Otherwise spot on!

Millom Museum offers an insight to its past, with a reconstruction of a drift mine lending a nod to its iron and steel works. There is also a statue in the town centre, commemorating the iron industry, depicting 'The Scutcher' who stopped the iron ore tubs with and iron bar and his own strength. This town was also home to writer Norman Nicholson, who has a stained glass window in St. George's Church dedicated to his memory, while the strange 'fish' window in the Holy Trinity Church is also worth a visit.
