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.

My favourite bit of the Lake District. Unspoilt and not overcrowded but with fabulous walks. The cottage was a lovely traditional farm house. Roomy, warm and welcoming. Really recommend High Kiln Bank

The location is superb for anyone wanting peace and tranquility and the cottage was very well equipped. Our dog was delighted with the enclosed orchard area where he could run round and the picnic table was ideal for meals in the sunshine. Several good pubs for food in the area too. We hope to return and would highly recommend.
