    “Rose cottage is a hidden gem in the Lake District!”

    It is evident the owner/s care and are experienced in letting out their lovely property. Attention to detail was superb; for example, the fire was made up ready to light with a good supply of kindling, paper, logs and coal (not to forget lots of matches). The beds were firm yet comfy, with high quality linen. The shower was nice and hot and powerful (which is rare in such a period cottage). The original oak beams and flag stone flooring was carefully blended with modern touches. Constructive ...

    It is evident the owner/s care and are experienced in letting out their lovely property. Attention to detail was superb; for example, the fire was made up ready to light with a good supply of kindling, paper, logs and coal (not to forget lots of matches). The beds were firm yet comfy, with high quality linen. The shower was nice and hot and powerful (which is rare in such a period cottage). The original oak beams and flag stone flooring was carefully blended with modern touches. Constructive feedback: 1. The chemicals used in the hot tub were overpowering and made our eyes water and caused coughing on the first use (mitigated by leaving the cover off for 15 mins before use and not turning on the jets), this dissipated on repeated use over the next few days. That said the views from the hot tub were just stunning! 2. The curtains in the main bedroom would benefit from some blackout lining (or black out blinds) as the light streamed through them at sunrise. 3. Very minor: it would be helpful to provide salt for cooking, and a shaver plug/point would also be great (mainly because I forgot to bring them!). Summary This is a superb cottage, which I fully recommend. Its location and facilities were above expectations and I will definitely consider staying there again.

The property

This charming cottage is situated in the hamlet Broughton Mills, 2 miles from the market town of Broughton-In-Furness.

Set on a working farm with stunning views of the Lickle Valley, Rose Cottage is a true home away from home, bringing you comfort and relaxation all-year-round.

Inside you will discover a characterful lounge with a woodburning stove, tucked away into a stone fireplace, and cream-coloured sofas which complement the traditional feel.

The kitchen/diner has a country cottage feel and makes a cosy place to join your loved ones, morning or night time, to discuss those up and coming adventures over a home-cooked meal.

Three bedrooms are decorated to a standard of quality, with well-coordinated furnishings and tiny traditional windows, so you can snuggle up in style after an adventure-filled day.

There is also a family bathroom complete with classic features, and a shower which is located over the bath, so all guests can get ready at ease.

Make the most of the small patio garden to the front and the use of a large grassy shared raised garden behind the house, a nice spot to rest on the furniture or gather for a barbecue with your loved ones.

Rose Cottage is within walking distance to local Blacksmith Arms pub, which serves lovely food, and only 2 miles from Broughton-In-Furness which has an array of shops, restaurants and a bakery.

The local area offers plenty of pleasant walks and opportunities to see local birds and wildlife.

A getaway not to be missed.

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.
