Broughton-in-Furness 7 miles. A lovely detached cottage, near the hamlet of Seathwaite, at the head of the beautiful Duddon Valley just 7 miles from Broughton-in-Furness. This Grade II listed building, built in 1714, was the birthplace of Rev. Walker, who was the curate of Seathwaite for 67 years, and who is described in Wordsworth's sonnets. A real home-from-home and boasting magnificent views of some of the most beautiful countryside in the Lake District, this charming Lake District cottage provides warm, welcoming accommodation, including a sitting room with open fire, a delightful master bedroom with old beams, two lovely single bedrooms and a farmhouse-style kitchen diner. The peaceful, unspoilt Duddon Valley lies between Eskdale and Coniston, and offers unrivalled walking with superb views. A favourite of the poet William Wordsworth, the valley around this Lake District cottage is home to buzzards, peregrine falcons and red squirrels, while a host of wild flowers such as violets, primroses, bluebells and wood anemones decorate the hedgerows in spring and summer. From the towering peaks of Scafell, to the Ravenglass & Eskdale Railway, beautiful Wastwater and Muncaster Castle, there are many well-known landmarks in this awe-inspiring and beautiful area, within easy reach of this charming Lake District cottage, ensuring this stunning location will have visitors returning time and time again.
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.

It is a step away from life, no wi-fi, peace & quiet, relaxation, and our host, Sheila has thought of everything you possibly need. For us, it is a home away from home. There is a secure garden for the dogs, and for you to sit with a glass of something, or a cup of tea in the morning and take in the stunning views. Plenty of walks on the doorstep. We also visited Windemere, Hill Top House, Wray Castle, Tarn How, Coniston, Ulverston and Ambleside, but there is plenty more to see and do especially if you enjoy hiking, or watersports. We can't recommend this accommodation enough.
