Duddon Cottage, Broughton-In-Furness

Everything you need to visit that area of lakes. Bit out of the way and on a busy road. Quirky cottage, fenced off back garden with parking. Could do with a bit of tlc .

All feedback is overwhelmingly positive with this cottage, location and owner totally exceeding expectations during what has been a difficult time to plan any trip. Duddon cottage is simply fantastic with an excellent size and gardens that really isn't reflected in the formal information shared online. The cottage was spotless and had everything we needed, perfect for our 3 kids and dog. This is a very interesting part of the Lakes with great location to take advantage of impressive local beaches and also easy access to more mainstream lake district spots. We enjoyed this holiday immensely and a huge thank you to Louise for going the extra mile for us. I would not hesitate to book this cottage again.

My partner and friends stayed for a week at this lovely cottage...it was full of everything you'd need for self catering..all the appliances were top notch and worked perfectly.the log burning stove was huge and very easy to use.i counted at least 10 different birds just in the back garden...which was beautiful.the cottage was really private and central to plenty of places to visit as well as nearby villages for pubs,food etc.the house was on a quite busy road but we didnt care because everything else about the place made up for it.

We stayed at Duddon Cottage for one week, there were six people in our party, and the cottage was amazing, it had everything you could possibly need, very well presented and decorated, lovely period features in all rooms, we met the owners when we arrived, they were very friendly and helpful. It's a very good base for exploring the area of the southern lakes, we couldn't fault anything, the cottage, the owners and the area, everything and everyone were brilliant, we all said we didn't want to leave. We've stayed in lots of cottages all over the U.K, and this one was definitely the best we've ever been too, thank you Duddon Cottage for a great holiday and for making some truly magical memory's

Had a lovely week in the lakes staying at Duddon Cottage. The rooms are very clean and spacious. Owners were very helpful and friendly. Gorgeous period features in the cottage and plenty of parking off the main road. Would definitely stay here again. Just watch your head on some of the doorways if you are tall!

My wife and I stayed at Duddon Cottage when our daughter was just 6 months old and it was perfect. The Cottage was well kept and beautiful, it had all of the facilities required. The gardens were beautiful and we had all the peace & quiet we needed. Definitely a lovely location for a quiet country getaway

What a wonderful week we have just spent in beautiful Duddon Cottage. Exceptional accommodation with everything you need on the doorstep of the beautiful lakes. Will definitely book again.

This beautiful cottage has everything you might need for self-catering holiday. It has clearly been recently refurbished to a very high standard and the owners have sympathetically thought to retain many of the original features of which there are many. The kitchen is lovely and well equipped with everything you might need along with fridge, freezer, microwave, dishwasher as well as washing machine and tumble dryer in the utility room (more appliances than we have at home actually!) There is also plenty of storage space for coats and boots in the utility room. Our party was only four and a small dog, however the cottage very comfortably accommodates six people and the three bedrooms are all of a really good size – each with ample wardrobe and drawer space. There is a family bathroom which has both shower and bath as well as a very chic en suite to one of the bedrooms with a free standing bath and large shower. The lounge was very bright and comfortable with a huge fireplace/wood burning stove and we also made use of the dining room on more than one occasion when we decided to eat in which again was a nice bright room. The gardens are a real bonus at Duddon Cottage, with lots of separate areas and it even has a trickling brook running through the small private woodland which we explored and discovered what looked to have been an old terraced Japanese garden in days gone by. I wonder if this will be restored at some point? An area of the garden directly outside the back door is very securely fenced off so if you do have small children or dogs it is very safe and the whole plot is gated with plenty of parking spaces. Location is a short distance from the pretty village of Broughton-in-Furness (which is a little less busy than the nearby Coniston) where we spent a lovely evening sat in the snug of the Black Cock Inn with the very friendly locals (Hello Postie Paul!). Advisable to book if you want to eat there as it does fill up quite quickly and we missed out unfortunately. Silecroft beach is close by (about 8 miles – less than 15 mins in the car) which is great for walking with or without a dog as it seems to stretch on forever. All in all Duddon Cottage was an idyllic getaway for us and we really enjoyed our stay here. It is slightly different from your normal holiday cottage with being so close to the coast and lovely sandy/shingle beaches - yet also within a few mins drive of the lakes and hills the area is famous for. For us it really did have everything – and we’ve already booked to go back in the Autumn.

Really nice cottage with some great period features including an original bread oven in the kitchen. The location is good for walking and there is an amazing old iron furnace to the rear of the property which is well worth a nosey. Broughton has some fantastic hostelries a particular highlight is the Masons arms and its selection of real ales. Should you wish to venture out Coniston is only 15 minutes away and Ulverston around 30 minutes.

A lovely cottage tastefully renovated so that there are all mod cons without losing the character. Thick solid walls, beamed ceilings, quirky built in cupboards, wide floorboards, stone flagged kitchen complete with original kitchen range yet still a built-in fridge/freezer and dishwasher, modern cooker, microwave, and all laundry facilities available. Also TV etc but we didn't use any of the entertainment equipment other than books and games. We stayed as a group, 2 couples and found everything we needed, a very comfortable stay. There's also a beautiful natural garden, and it's in an interesting area with many varied activities to hand. We recommend walking on fells, in woodland and along coastal paths, also Ravenglass with L'al Ratty, Haverigg with the Hodbarrow RSPB reserve, Muncaster castle and Broughton-in-Furness. Lots of pubs nearby serving real ale and varied pub meals, would particularly recommend The Prince of Wales at Foxfield and The Blacksmiths Arms at Broughton Mills, but the 3 pubs in Broughton-in-Furness are also excellent.

We stayed at Duddon Cottage as a family -two adults and three children- around Easter. It is a great place that marries all the features of an old cottage with modern gadgets. The décor is very tasteful and the cottage is spacious. Plenty of storage in the bedrooms, big kitchen with all the things you need, very clean. I managed to cook just like at home. I saw there is all the equipment to do a barbecue in the summer too. The children loved playing outside in the quirky garden : there is a very shallow brook running through it, little hills to climb and even a mini-waterfall. Don't forget your wellies! I would love to book Duddon Cottage again in the summer. The children want to go back too.
