“Clean, spacious cottage with plenty of room for muddy boots and wet coats.”

A delicious homemade cake awaited us on arrival. Mrs Turner was very friendly and helpful. The bedrooms we're very spacious and comfortable and the kitchen was fully equipped. Great location for exploring the Western Lakes.

“House is well equipped, everything needed was available.”

Log fire was really lovely and the cottage overall was very comfortable. Access to look around the farm and see the workings, they are very helpful and your encouraged to look around (very nice)
Miss Tratt October 2018

“The house was cosy and provided everything we needed.”

The photos of the view didn't do it justice, the location was so much more beautiful in person. The house is in a very rural location so wouldn't be for everybody but was exactly what we wanted. We arrived to fresh cake in the fridge and where also pleased to find that the TV was connected to the wifi which meant we could watch Netflix in the evenings. A couple of things to note is that the shower water pressure wasn't very good & the smoke alarm in the kitchen got set off a couple of times when we where cooking even though we had the extractor fan switched on - other than this i'd highly recommend!

Many thanks for your feedback. I am pleased to hear that you had a good stay. If you have a power shower at home this shower is gravity fed so will not have the same power but is more than functional. The heat detector in the kitchen has been checked by an electrician and is working fine. Sykes owner relations

“The general comfort of the cottage was great beds really good sofas good but the things I would like to point out is the shower was absolutely terrible no pressure also it was disappointing that the woodburner glass was broken on one of the doors which then made the whole cottage smokey and made it unusable and we booked it to enable us to have this.”

The other negative was that dogs are not allowed on the garden which means you have to walk up the road each time which isn't ideal first and last thing, I wouldn't have booked it had i realised. The views are truly stunning from the cottage tho and although quite remote a lovely setting. Being welcomed with a gorgeous cake and milk on arrival. Will definately be returning to the Lakes as only touched the surface with gorgeous walks.

Many thanks for your feedback. I can confirm that the wood-burner has now been replaced. As we state on the website - Cottage is on a working farm, dogs to be kept on a lead when outside but dogs 'are allowed' on the garden but we ask that you clean up after your dog. I am glad you enjoyed the cake and the views. Sykes owner relations

“Such a lovely spacious cottage in a beautiful location.”

Everything went very smoothly and efficiently. The owner was very pleasant and the homemade cake was a lovely surprise.
Mrs Ffrench July 2018

“The Granary is a lovely cottage with open plan living area and all rooms are really big.”

The views are incredible from the patio and gravelled area beyond. On arrival there was a homemade Victoria sponge cake and jug of milk which was lovely! The kitchen has everything you need and a large fridge freezer, and we had Asda deliver shopping to the cottage soon after we arrived - very worthwhile! There were only 2 slight negatives to this property - the beds are really firm and we all found that our backs ached after a few nights. Although this property is advertised as dog friendly, our host told us not to let them use the garden as a loo and to take them for a walk. Everywhere else I’ve stayed, we’ve only been asked to pick up after our dogs which we would do anyway. When you’re on holiday, the last thing you feel like doing is taking a walk along the road with 2 lively dogs several times a day! Despite the loveliness of the property and location, had we known about this rule, we wouldn’t have stayed here. There is livestock everywhere and walking in the area was almost impossible unless dogs were on leads. In the Duddon valley below, we found lovely riverside spots to chill next to. Also, Silecroft beach is great for dogs or a beach horse ride!
Mr Putnam June 2018

“The location and views were far better than the advert was able to convey, and exceeded our expectations.”

The owner was very friendly and welcoming. We had a great time, and it was an excellent place to stay with our 18 month old son.
Mrs Goodwin May 2018

“The only thing that let this cottage down was the lack of a washing machine ...”

The only thing that let this cottage down was the lack of a washing machine inside it was kept in the garage and no washing line but no doubt if needed Mrs turner would of let you use hers if it's peace and quiet with stunning views and local wildlife and great walks then this is the place for you the cottage is warm cosy homely with all that you need with a fresh cake and a jug of milk waiting for you on arrival
Ms Zelechowska March 2018

“The Granary was a great place to stay.”

Cottage is equipped in everything a family with children may need - the kitchen especially. Rooms in the cottage are very spacious and bed/bedding is of a good quality. This together with the place being kept lovely and warm made out early April stay very pleasant. Log burner adds another lovely aspect to a relaxing stay. The views are breath taking! Please be prepared for a digital detox once in Lake District in general as the phone reception is not great however The Granary does have Wi-Fi so you can catch up on your daily fix in the evenings if needs be! Overall, we have had a great stay with 3 children and a dog. Highly recommend The Granary for your Lake District base.

About the location

BROUGHTON-IN-FURNESS

Millom 7.5 miles; Coniston 9 miles; Ulverston 9.5 miles.

Dating back to the 11th century, Broughton-in-Furness is situated in the south western corner of the Lake District and is just six miles from Coniston Water. There is much to please the visitor such as a pretty, cobbled square complete with a splendid horse chestnut tree, enclosed by shops, pubs and homes, many of them Georgian in origin. The village provides an ideal base for a walking or climbing holiday, with ample opportunity to explore the rugged beauty of the Duddon Valley and the quieter Lake District fells. Norman Nicholson, one of Britain's finest 20th century poets and William Wordsworth, both immortalised this area in their writing and poetry. The village was home to Branwell Bronte, brother of the Bronte sisters, for a short time. The Furness railway line runs from nearby Foxfield and makes for an ideal day out, travelling the west coast of Cumbria. Set amidst the charm of the Lake District and close to the sea, this attractive town makes an inspiring choice from which to further explore a magical heartland of silver lakes, lofty towering peaks and lonely, heather-clad moors.
