Moss Side Farm Cottage

I liked the rustic feel of the cottage.

Bedrooms all spacious and comfortable. The kitchen was ok, with no bench workspace for 8 people, but I managed and appreciate the age of the building.

Moss Side Cottage was absolutely lovely — so comfortable, with plenty of space for us to spread out.

The cottage was wonderfully warm too, and we enjoyed having beautiful walks right from the front door. The spa was really something and kept so clean. We did have an issue with the cooker on arrival, but it was sorted the following day. As mentioned in the listing, it is a working farm; however, there were more dogs onsite than we’d expected (around six). Because our two are anxious, the extra noise was a bit challenging at times. Otherwise, we really enjoyed our stay and loved meandering around the area.

We had a fantastic stay at moss side farm.

The house is absolutely beautiful and we would definitely book again. Louise was so kind and welcoming’ bedrooms all cosy’ hot tub outside the back door’ plenty of board games to play with a glass of wine in-front of the wood burning stove! Just what we wanted from a November get away with family! Beautiful location also with walks on the doorstep. Kids loved watching the farms comings and goings’ seeing all the animals and giving the farm dogs a cheeky treat. This stay ticked all the boxes for us. Thankyou

My family of 4 and and I had a lovely 4 day stay at Moss Cottage - A beautiful, characteristic home set in a stunning location.

The weather wasn't great during our stay but that didn't stop us from visiting the farmyard animals on sit. My young kids loved it! Louise was warm and approachable from the get go. We all loved our stay and would be eager to go again! - Thank you!

We had the best week staying here.

Louise was about whenever we needed her, generally fire wood to use the chiminea in the garden and on the log fire. The house is very spacious and 2 bathrooms very handy with 7 of us staying. The hot tub was great for both kids and adults and even when there were a few showers we weren't put off. We are looking to book up for next year to return and explore more of the lake district. Thank you Louise for our very welcoming stay

We had a fabulous time at the farm - and will definitely be back again

Beautiful situated and unique cottage in a quiet and private setting .

The inside of the cottage is stunning and has been maintained to a high standard whilst retaining its original features . Louise was a perfect host , very welcoming and helpful.The cottage was very clean and facilities well stocked ,in particular the Hot Tub , which was cleaned and topped up throughout . My family and I had amazing stay . Thank you

Lovely stay at Moss Farm Cottage, beautiful old cottage with character, facilities were good, hot tub was lovely, the addition of the farm animals and baby ducklings was magical.

I had to contact the owner a couple of times over minor things and they responsed quickly and solved all problems. Would stay again.

We had a lovely time in the cottage; it was very roomy throughout, although the kitchen is compact, it has loads of character and we loved the atmosphere.

You can tell the building is so old, but that added to the trip. Also, the hot tub was very welcome after a good day of walking and climbing.

We were a family of 5 with a dog celebrating Christmas in this wonderful house.

We especially loved the shared living room space with comfy sofas and armchairs in front of the fireplace. The house was charming and comfortable and surprisingly quiet for being on a working farm. The views out of the bedroom windows were gorgeous, the old beams in some of bedrooms really added to the cosy feel this house has. We all felt comfortable and 'at home' and looked forward to returning after a day out hiking. The hot tub was bliss in the evenings and easy to manage. Thank you to the owners who were friendly and accommodating at the same time mindful of our space while we stayed. The dogs and other animals added to the charm of this place.

We have a great weekend at this lovely cottage.

It was exactly what we wanted for a family weekend away. Lovely location. Would recommend to others and we will definitely look to return sometime in the future.

Absolutely lovely period cottage, with bags of charm.

Lovely size property for the 6 of us plus our 2 dogs. There was everything that we needed for our stay, and the hit tub was wonderful! Thank you for a great holiday.

If you’re looking for a break in the lakes, without the annoyance of the hustle and bustle of tourists like you find at Bowness for example, then this is exactly the place you need to book.

The character filled 500 year old cottage is located within a working farm with a small campsite to the side. Not once were we disturbed by any jobs being done on the farm or the campers coming and going. The hot tub was in a perfect location to enjoy some of the scenery but still isolated from view of campers and sheltered from the wind. The various animals wandering around the farm were a constant source of entertainment and enjoyment, the dogs were all extremely well behaved and comical - the highlight for us was the unexpected litter of 4 week old puppies we were welcomed by which made leaving here that little more difficult! The walks around that are listed in the welcome book were clearly instructed and perfect for dog walkers - just be prepared for some hills if you’re used to more flat walking. Thank you again to Louise and her family for being wonderful hosts and we look forward to coming back in the future

A real gem of a place.

Beautifully presented 400 year old cottage on a working farm. If you'd like a place to relax after a day walking around the lakes, this place is perfect . There are friendly dogs, cows , pigs, and goats which love being fussed over. Guaranteed good nights sleep in this cottage. Three generations of us stayed at moss side Farm Cottage, and all of us felt the benefits . The owners are very nice and helpful if needed . The only downside of our stay was having to leave after a fantastic time. Highly recommend to anyone.

We had a wonderful stay at Moss Side Farm.

The cottage was cosy but roomy enough for 7 of us. Louise (owner) is easy to contact and very friendly. A special thankyou to her for taking the trouble to post back a loved "teddy". Everyone we met was so friendly and the area is beautiful. The younger ones loved playing with the dogs and the hot tub was lush. Thankyou.

When we arrived in the dark we were welcomed by a cottage that was reminiscent of the cottage in the romantic film The Holiday.

Warm, welcoming and just so perfect for our Christmas break. The children loved the farm, we all loved the star gazing and I loved the pure beauty of this traditional farmhouse cottage. The whole experience was just what we needed and the location is perfect to travel to lots of beauty spots. Highly recommend

We booked the cottage for 3 days over the Christmas period, it was absolutely fantastic.

Very clean and tidy, great location, all the facilities that we needed. A great experience of an English cottage, we will be looking to book again in the summer to enjoy the local area. Would definitely recommend.

Very impressive cottage .

Loved our stay. Couldn’t have picked a better stay, we will be back

The house is a traditional farmhouse with lots of low wooden beams, antique furniture and beautiful rugs strewn around.

The enclosed garden was perfect for our two dogs. There are plenty of walks around although the nearest pub is 7 minutes away in the car and the nearest shop some distance. The location is beautiful but be mindful that there is a campsite which was close to the end of the garden which was fine by us. The hot tub was wonderful after a days walking.

Our second stay, and we love Moss Side Farm.

It's homely, comfortable and we were made so welcome. It's just as one would expect from a Lakeland working farm. You can tell that every effort is made here for our comfort and for an easy, friendly holiday. Love the Farm, all the animals and dogs, just chilled and fun, and beautiful!

Moss side has the potential to be a fabulous holiday cottage.

The location for exploring the southern lakes is great and the hot tub in the back garden is a lovely welcome back. A welcome pack and some general instructions would have been great on arrival as we spent the rest of the week guessing what was required of us with rubbish/hot tub maintenance etc). Unfortunately I suspect people before us had been smoking and the smell had lingered which did not help the greeting either) The mugs in the kitchen were fabulous for a homely brew, sadly the rest of equipment was a bit sparse, only just enough sets of cutlery for each of us, so we either had to wash upon run the dishwasher between every meal (we also had to buy a pan to do breakfast pancakes), however we do cook most meals when away, so maybe not an issue if you eat out most of the time I hate to list niggles - all in all it was what we needed, but did not feel quite like the 'treat' we thought we had paid for

I found this cottage to smell bad and was damp.

It was very unclean. The owner also approached us and assumed we as a family had left the top gate open. When we said we didn't do it she then went on to say well its never happened before. This upset myself and my family. To practically being called a liar is down right rude. Our children never touched the gate and jumped it at all times without touching the latch. On the advert it states that our animals should be well behave however one of their collies bit my daughter and her boyfriend on the ankles while we were outside our property. What I will say is the other animals on the farm were beautiful and friendly. We will miss them. The cost for this farmhouse is very expensive for what you get. Disappointed on accommodation and treatment from the owner on that one occasion stated above.

What a wonderful place.

Being in a working farm was lovely. From being greeted by a cute dog, to having goats eat outside of the window added to the experience. The kids loved it. The cottage was what you want from a country cottage and was very spacious. The hot tub is set in a nice private garden and a treat after a day out. The owners were very friendly and helpful. The cottage is set in a beutiful quiet part of the Lakes, but is only a short drive to the more popular areas. In all this was a very enjoyable week in a lovely cottage.

Absolutely loved staying here.

Wonderful cottage and location, lovely hosts, reasonable price. Will definitely be back.

It's a great cottage if you have dogs we had a lovely time only thing is it could do with more cutlery and small plates and I would take an ovenglove with you and take your own pillows if you like more than one.

Nice cottage In a nice location would definitely book again

Wonderful cottage in fabulous location.

Could do with a welcome pack to work heating, tv and general stuff but that would be the only constructive feedback. Would definitely come again

We had a lovely time at the cottage.

Couldn’t use the hot tub as it had no protection from the rain, which was a shame, but it was cosy, warm and just what we needed.

Party of six friends in need of a break.

The farm house was relaxing and set in an idyllic location. Being on a working farm we were visited by many animals and the little dogs made our stay complete bliss. Recommend to anyone one who needs to relax.

The owner greeted us when we arrived and was warm and friendly and gave us all the information we needed.

The cottage was beautiful, just what you would expect from a 400 year old character cottage. I would definitely recommend it and hope to come back.

Fabulously quirky old cottage perfect for our large family.

Loved the hot tub and how quiet it was. Plenty of animals both feathered and furry paid a visit to us while we there. We will definitely visit again.

Beautiful place, so comfortable and stress free.

We loved the animals wondering around, they made the pace extra special. A really relaxing experience, just what a holiday should be. Definitely returning next year!

Amazing place to get away from the rat race and live healthy!

Please try it x

We really enjoyed our stay!

Thank you so much. Only point that didn’t bother us at all but might bother others was a few cobwebs that had been missed by the cleaners for a good while. The place is beautiful. The walks on the grounds amazing and the children absolutely loved being able to walk around and see the animals every day. We would definitely visit again!

Lovely stay at Moss Side.

Cottage was great and exactly as described. Louise was lovely and made us very welcome. Great location for touring South Lakes and surrounding area. Would deft recommend.

Very helpful and friendly.

Great place for children hot tub a hit. Very comfortable. Broughton has Post Office, Petrol station, Butchers Bakers Grocers. So no need to travel too far for supplies. Our two boys want to go again so they think Moss Side is great.

The cottage is in a really peaceful location despite being on a farm and next to the campsite.

The hot tub was great, the bedrooms were all nice and comfortable and the animals wandering around were very entertaining. Only downsides were that the water pressure was quite low in the showers and toilets (but probably to be expected in such a rural location) and Wifi wasn't good so joining a Teams meeting had to be done by mobile 4g which just about coped. We don't have a car so travelled by train to Foxfield and the disused Coniston line is a really handy way to get to the cottage.

We had a lovely stay at the cottage.

The location is stunning. The owners are friendly and helpful. We hope to return to this special place!

Beautiful farmhouse that has kept and embraced all original features !

Louise was warm and welcoming. The kids loved feeding the pigs and watching the ducklings !

Super cottage in a lovely location, perfect for exploring the Lakes.

Big, spacious and with the added bonus of a hot tub to relax in at the end of a tiring day. Would definitely recommend it.

friendly people, great spot, the house suited our needs

The cottage was much larger than expected which was great and had a good enclosed garden however some basics were missing such as a mop.

The location was good but the farm also had a campsite which was right next to the cottage and was not expected. We envisioned a cottage away from it all but ended up sharing the space with about 50 other campers. The cottage was tired in places but I guess to be expected from an old house. The owner was very friendly.

My family and I had a wonderful time at Moss Farm Cottage.

The views are to die for and the wealth of knowledge from the host was superb. Would highly recommend and definitely rebooking.

loved this place ❤

Great location the owner was very friendly and nothing was too much trouble .

We stayed for a 2 night break.

Only the two of us and two dogs. We loved this rustic cottage in really beautiful surroundings. Owner welcomed us and was really friendly. Great walks close-by. Be prepared .... 20 minutes to closest shop! Thank you for a great two days.

The cottage was homely, cosy, spacious and full of character.

Owners were very friendly and helpful. The site is run on renewable energy, which was great to hear. We had a great stay, thank you.

I’ve got to be honest.

The level of cleanliness was disappointing, especially considering the current circumstances. We were told we could not check in until 5pm due to the extra cleaning that needed to be done due to COVID. I seriously doubly that any extra cleaning took place. The bathrooms were quite mouldy, we had to purchase bleach to clean the bathrooms and kitchen sink areas. There were thick layers of dust and cobwebs everywhere. Skirting boards, window sills and cooker was also dirty. We had to request for the hot tub to be emptied and refilled after only one use because it was cloudy, foamy and full of scum. However, the owners were nice and any requests were met. I would stay here again if the level of cleanliness was improved. The cottage is well equipped and the kids loved the animals and stream nearby. We loved the location, however the listing stated that Cottage is not overlooked by the campers when it actually is. The views are stunning and the walk to Broughton village only takes about 40 min.

This was a surprise weekend away for my husbands 30th along with his two brothers their partners and his mum and dad.

We also had our two children aged 2 and 6 and our little beagle Belle. The cottage is beautiful very spacious and comfortable Louise and her partner were very helpful and near by if ever needed. We had a lovely walk in the area surroundings and our two little girls were very made up being able to see the animals and meeting Duchess for a stroke. All in all we got home yesterday evening and are already looking to return in the summer time so a massive massive thank you.

We enjoyed the most fantastic family weekend very cosy warm comfortable cottage in a lovely area with a lovely host.

Many thanks

Great Hot tub and house was lovely, and very comfortable.

Owner was very helpful and pleasant.

A great, comfy cottage in a lovely location.

The hot tub was brilliant. The owner was really friendly and everyone in our party had a really great stay.

Description clearly states that the campsite is not visible from the property.

In reality there are tents to the front , side and rear clearly visible from every window and overlooking the garden and hot tub. There is a constant stream of people wandering in the yard and walking dogs along our boundary fence a few feet from the house. The listing was a complete misrepresentation of the truth. We did not come to a remote cottage in a quiet bit of Lakeland to be entirely surrounded by people, dogs and general hub bub. Person in charge completely uninterested, Sykes not answering the phone. Did not 3ven get a welcome and show around when we arrived. Just a key in the lock. First and last time booking with Sykes

The location is 5 star the cottage definetly is not, there was a problem with mice eating the food in the kitchen and it was noisy at night from the owners dogs barking til 11 o clock and gone.

The owner lady was pleasent enough. Problem with the cooker as old and dirty and all the markings worn away so did not know what knob was for what, all appliances were really old, when we asked for help we were told ohh I don,t know i have,nt used it (really helpful - not ) curtains in some bedrooms dnt fit the windows and you can not open the windows in some of the bedrooms so when it gets hot your hot !would not return.Hot tub was excellent think that is what your paying for and whole outside needs a good tidy up the pictures dnt show how neglected it looks.

Settle in, meet Louise the owner, then enjoy the farmhouse, and the surroundings.

Remember its a 400 year old building, rustic, and charming. The hot tub is brand new from Cumbria Spas and is a top of the range one, wow. Didn't expect that, though we knew on booking a hot tub was there, not a new one though with lighting, various jet settings etc, it will take many hours to warm up after you arrive due to the owners cleaning it out for you to use, so it may be a late one the first night if you wish to enjoy it. Was a pleasure staying on a working farm, and the walk into the village about 2 mile and worth it, three good pubs too, though for real ale drinkers the stand out one is the Manor Arms, great pub, everyone so friendly, you know its good when at 4pm on a Wednesday its busy, 8 real ales on offer, and think 7 of those were £2.80 a pint, reasonable in the Lakes. A really good walk is towards Woodland, and beyond, you could spend all day exploring around that area, and its straight from the lane to the left as you leave the site, you will see the signpost for it. All in all a very enjoyable week had by all, laid back, and you don't feel intimidated by the place like some I have stayed at, its not 5 star luxury, just a 5 star stay, will without a doubt look to book it again in the future.

Everything about our stay was perfect.

From the setting, to the cottage and the wonderful owners. We had everything we needed and couldn't have asked for a more perfect week.

Lovely quaint little farm house, very nice chilled vibe and a great hottub.

We loved the location as of was so quiet and the hosts were lovely and happy to help when we had a problem with the hottub.

The location was lovely with great views and it was easy to find.

The cottage was great with many period features, comfortable furniture and everything we needed in the kitchen. The hot tub was fantastic too. The host was very welcoming, helpful and friendly. It’s a great place and the local area is beautiful with plenty of walking to be had around and the local village only 2 miles away with a choice of pubs and an easy walk along a former railway line. We had a great time and have already booked again for next year.

We had a brilliant time at moss side farm.

The facilities were perfect with great comfort, plenty of space and a great hot tub. But the best parts were the setting, how friendly the owners were and their lovely dogs who came to say hello at every opportunity. Would love to go back

Louise was so helpful.

a lovely little cottage in a beautiful location

Fantastic holiday home and made Christmas extra special spending it with the family

The owners were very friendly and made sure we had enough fire wood for the weekend we would go back to moss side again .

We had a fantastic stay at Moss Side Farm cottage, it was perfect for our needs as large family with two dogs in tow and the owners were very friendly, welcoming and helpful whenever we spoke.

The cottage is set in a beautiful location and local sites/attractions are within easy reach. The inside is very cosy, especially once the log burner is lit of an evening and the hot tub is the icing on the cake! We would love to return again :)

Only disappointment was to be charged £30 for changing date of holiday the day after initially booking!

Cottage is fantastic and Louise is as helpful as they come :-) To make it even better we had great weather which for the lakes is a real bonus!

Amazing lovely cottage and the owners were very friendly defo coming back with the family.

.. loved it

We had a wonderful weekend at this beautiful property - the photos don't actually do it justice for how lovely it is.

The owners were very accommodating and the setting is lovely. We would definitely return.

Fantastic cottage in excellent condition.

It was very homely and had great character. The rooms were spacious and the bedding was extremely comfortable. The hot tub was very large and of very good quality. All in all, my friends and I had a brilliant stay at Moss Side Farm Cottage and would love to return. Thank you!

the owner was very polite and accommodating ,there were free eggs for breakfasts and for the grandchildren cake baking competition free logs for the fire and free views that were exceptional all in all a bargain.

We all enjoyed a lovely week with a few pleasant walks thrown in the scenery is stunning as would be expected from the lake district .the grandchildren loved all the animals especially the giant horses that are very docile and friendly if available we would love to return in the summer.

This cottage was lovely, thanks

This was a lovely cottage that had plenty of room for us all to be together and have our own space when needed.

The three generations of our family had a great time and we thoroughly enjoyed the use of the hot tub. The location although I had some difficulty in finding having driven past the first time was beautiful and breath taking. Very peaceful and enjoyable birthday break.

really cosy cottage, near a nice town with lots of pubs and friendly atmosphere.

really loved staying, when you're coming be sure to bring your own basics e.g. tea, coffee and washin up liquid,.
