“Lovely cottage in a fantastic village with all the amenities you will need.”

Great location with so many places to visit

“Very amazing cottage to spend the week walking and then relaxing in the evenings”

- Dawn, July 2024
Neil July 2024

“Really liked the house and location in Broughton, local shops are great, pubs too although the food in Kings Head is over priced.”

We found certain things in the kitchen needed cleaning before they could be use, oven trays, frying pan etc and some need replacing. Bath waste doesn't flow away. Heating needs setting up, it came on in the middle of the first night. Other than that good house economically priced.

- Neil, July 2024
Judith June 2024

“Had a great week at church view.”

Plenty of space. Lovely village location and we visited both the pubs which were really welcoming. Our only niggles were minor but the pillows definitely need upgrading and maybe some summer duvets. The garden is a lovely space but just felt it would have been great to have some chairs rather than just the wooden garden benches. We were definitely made to feel welcome and a nice touch with a yummy cake, milk and butter. We would definitely book again.

- Judith, June 2024
Martine February 2024

“This property is very spacious and has everything you need for a comfortable stay.”

We had an issue with the heating but the owner resolved it very quickly and was really helpful throughout our stay there. We ate at the local pub (Kings Head) and the food was great. There is a good choice of shops in the village too.

- Martine, February 2024
Peter January 2024

“The six of us, with three dogs, had a comfortable week at Church View.”

The two bedrooms at the front have a great view of the church and the estuary beyond. There is a well-equipped kitchen and ample space downstairs. We parked four vehicles in the allocated space. Broughton is big enough to have most of what you could need; pubs, a café, excellent butchers and bakery. We ate at The Kings Head twice, fish and chips recommended. The Blacksmith's Arms in Broughton Mills was great for a celebration meal. The choices for walks from the house might be a bit limited but the southern lakeland and coastal routes are a short drive away.

Eric October 2023

“The house was spacious, warm and comfortable, with everything needed for a party of nine: five adults and four children.”

There was a large, secure garden that was perfect for our three dogs. The house is in a delightful village with friendly people and family-run shops, and we found plenty of attractions within easy driving distance. Our host, Paul,was very helpful. All in all we had a great holiday.

- Eric, October 2023
Judith September 2023

“Excellent comfortable property with friendly helpful owners that live in the village.”

Anything that could be improved Some extension plugs would be good in the twin room as the sockets are hidden by the beds but thats all. Everything else was spot on.

- Judith, September 2023

“As a party of 6, plus 3 dogs we all thoroughly enjoyed our week at Church view.”

Lovely spacious property in a quaint village. Two pubs with 5 mins walk. Great facilities at the house including a washing and drying machine. Very clean throughout. Large enough to accommodate 9 people. Safe enclosed outdoor space for dogs and large garden with lawn. Thank you very much Paul and Ann.

“We have such a lovely stay and the house was lovely.”

It was the little things that really made it, like the bread, milk and butter that had been left for us. Thanks to the lovely host for this and we hope to come back and stay sometime

Sarah September 2022

“The cottage was spacious and very comfortable.”

With a great secure garden for the dogs to roam. Lovely views looking out and walking distance to pubs and shops. The owner was very helpful sharing places of interest and provided a lovely welcome pack. The village is lovely with walks from the doorstep and its well positioned for walks in the area of Eskdale, Coniston and a lovely beach at Silecroft.

- Sarah, September 2022

“A warm welcome on arrival on picking up the keys.”

A beautiful property in a lovely village. Highly recommended.

- Alison, August 2022
Kay August 2022

“We had a lovely stay at Church View and would highly recommend it as a great base for exploring The Lakes, especially if you have dogs.”

There was plenty of space to park 3 cars, which included an SUV. The garden was lovely and spacious for the dogs and Broughton itself well served by some great pubs.

- Kay, August 2022
Anne August 2022

“We had a lovely week in Broughton in Furness, it’s a friendly village and quiet compared to most of the Lake District.”

Although it’s small it has all are all the facilities you need. Would particularly recommend the Square Cafe, the Old King’s Head and the most amazing bakery. Church View is perfect for a family holiday. Paul is a great host and is there instantly if there are any issues, dealing with them immediately. The garden is fantastic for children and dogs. Would highly recommend both the house and the village and hope to revisit in the future.

- Anne, August 2022
David July 2022

“Ideal house and location for our week's family stay.”

We thoroughly enjoyed it.

- David, July 2022
Frank July 2022

“Small issues at the start which were cleared up by Paul, other than that a nice place to stay with your family.”

the good thing is you can take your dog with you without having to worry about him. great area for touring the south Lakes with lots of walks.

- Frank, July 2022
Linda April 2022

“The house was lovely, Paul kindly brought us logs and kindling for the log burner, but the house was so warm we didn’t use it.”

It’s a great property for family there were six of us for a couple of days and 4 + 4 small dogs for the rest of the week. We were greeted with fresh bread, butter, tea and cake from the local bakery which was delicious. The house is in a great location with lovely country views, it was easy to get to the Lakes and the beaches were fabulous for kite flying. The pubs in the village were 5 minutes away as was the bakery, grocery shop and the butchers, with home made pasties, pies cakes etc. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and for us it could only have been improved if the upper garden was more dog secure, we had to keep ours on a leash or they would have escaped. I have recommended this Cottage to friends.

2 good pubs and excellent local shops

Craig December 2021

“We spent the first few days cleaning the property due to the unacceptable standard we found the property in.”

Very disappointing for the amount of money we paid for the week. The property has a lot of potential if it was clean and the owners were very welcoming, however it doesn’t compensate for the sub standard hygiene and cleanliness, you don’t and should not be expected to go on holiday and have to clean a property on day 1. Unfortunately we won’t be staying here again!

- Craig, December 2021

We were disappointed that at no time were we informed about this until after our guests left or we would have quickly tried to remedy any issues that were pointed out to us. We had checked the property ourselves before their arrival and taking into consideration the feedback comments from the previous guests, I am surprised and disappointed at this response. I am also surprised that they felt they were not welcomed as we like to think that this is something we do well. Property Owner
Jennifer November 2021

“Great welcome from Paul with the additions of bread,milk,butter,cake,gin and tonic.”

House spacious with some great features. Good heating system, WiFi was ok. Bathroom requires overhaul and some kitchen utensils require replacing. Living room furniture has seen better days Overhaul a good staycation. Vi

Sally September 2021

“Host greeted us and left some very nice provisions for us.”

House was very comfortable and garden great for the dogs. The town had very good amenities and three good pubs two of which offer a tasty menu. Well worth a visit.

- Sally, September 2021
Mathew July 2021

“The road that passes the front of the property creates a lot of traffic noise, especially heard in the front two bedrooms at night.”

The garden needs a lot more effort put into it to make it secure for dogs, you can’t leave yours unattended in it as it is. Main bathroom and main bedroom doors need looking at as were hard to close. Lounge chairs and settees, whilst plentiful, were grubby and we would recommend taking throws to cover them.

- Mathew, July 2021
Hetal May 2021

“Brilliant location.”

Close to butchers and pubs. Close to lovely walks. Cottage has a spacious garden and all rooms are a good size. We were greeted by Paul who was a great host and left us with a few essentials to make our stay comfortable on arrival. The cottage was clean and well presented but the sofas could do with a good once over. Overall, Good size cottage, great location, would recommend to anyone.

- Hetal, May 2021
Angela October 2020

“We felt that the downstairs toilet should have had a lid and functioning seat, bearing in mind the property was fairly expensive to rent and having 2 toilets is a necessity in a property of this size.”

Much of the kitchen equipment looked like it had been rescued from a skip and needs replacing. Also, before we left we cleaned up and it was clear the property hadn't been properly cleaned in a long time. The location of the property, at the base of a steep hill, meant that there was a lot more road noise than we were expecting, and I would not have got much sleep had I not used ear plugs. On the plus side, the property was larger than expected, nicely decorated and generally in good condition, the location was better than we were expecting, and the sofas and beds were comfortable. We feel that with a bit of love and a bit of effort, this would be a lovely property and our overall experience was positive. Despite the few downsides, we would stay there again.

Patricia September 2020

“House is a true home from home, Broughton is a fab place with all you need.”

- Patricia, September 2020
Emma September 2020

“The cottage was very comfortable.”

The garden was a concern as I had three dogs and it most definitely wasn't fully enclosed. I had to make barricades to stop them getting out. I had contacted you to make sure it was, prior to booking so, as you can imagine, I was deeply disappointed upon arrival. The village was delightful, beautiful walks and fabulous pubs. People we met were so friendly. Not the cleanest cottage we have stayed in and a strong smell of dogs on the sofas. Aside from that, lovely.

- Emma, September 2020
Nicola December 2019

“It was a great village and the house was very nice.”

But the mattresses were not comfortable in one room and one of us had to sleep on the floor. The shower curtain was also mouldy and there were dog hairs on the sofas and rug. The sofas looked a bit worse for wear too. To be fair, we didn't tell the owner while we were there and when we told her after we left she was very apologetic and said that she would have rectified it all had we told her. I would stay there again but we would need to know that there were new mattresses and new sofas.

- Nicola, December 2019

Thank you for your feedback. It is regrettable that you didn't advise the owner about the mattress during your stay as she would have been happy to accommodate you on this request. She has actually a replacement on order due to arrive this week. The shower curtain has since been put through the washing machine and the mould has all been removed. With reference to the dog hairs, the property has been given a deep clean since your departure for the comfort of future guests. Property Owner
Mona October 2019

“We all had great time in the cottage.”

Plenty of room and enough comfortable sofas and armchairs. Spacious kitchen and bathroom. Downstairs shower room was quite large too. We took two dogs and with large garden there was plenty space for them to run around. Paul the owner met us at the cottage and explain how to use the cooker and central heating. He was so friendly and helpful telling us places to visit. Car park was big enough for four cars. We had three cars and there was still ample space left. Villages extremely friendly .we would go back again.

- Mona, October 2019
Rita August 2019

“A well-appointed cottage.”

Lots of space for the whole family to feel comfortable. Good location. We were able to park 4 cars on site.

- Rita, August 2019
Elizabeth July 2019

“The website does not mention that the cottage fronts on to the main road through the village.”

Not only is the road quite well used and therefore noisy, but there is a give way sign directly outside the cottage instructing traffic to give way to oncoming traffic. This means that vehicles stop directly in view of the windows limiting privacy and that they stop directly opposite the entrance to the parking area beside the house. The entrance is extremely narrow (my car's sensors beeped every time we drove in and out) and tight especially when turning left off the road. This is not such a problem if no traffic coming from the village has stopped to give way to oncoming cars (as you are then able to swing wide to turn left) but, when they have, it really limits the turning circle into the driveway, so much so that I scraped the lower part of the passenger door on the left side of my car on a stone that juts out from the bottom of the stone wall (that was not visible in the mirrors etc). It was not clear where the on-road parking that is mentioned on the website is. It was a narrow busy road and we would not have risked parking our car there. I would warn any drivers of SUVs or estate cars to think twice before booking the house for this reason.

- Elizabeth, July 2019
Angela June 2019

“The facilities were perfect for bringing four families, with children and dogs, together.”

“Cottage was very comfortable and large enough for all 9 of us and the dog.”

There was a very nice welcome pack of milk, butter and cake. Tea, coffee and sugar also available. Owner very friendly and helpful. The garden was large and the children had fun with their egg hunt.

- Christine, April 2019

Michael December 2018

“The accommodation was everything we expected and more.”

A lovely family size house which was well equipped in respect of the kitchen, bedrooms, bathroom and living area. The hosts had provided a welcome pack and contact details. There were plenty of games and jigsaws to keep the children occupied. The hosts had also emailed prior to our arrival with handy information about the local area and facilities. All in all a very enjoyable break for all of the family.

“Fabulous home in lovely friendly village.”

Ideal position for exploring the lake district with some lovely waljs and beaches close by. The owners are close by but not at all intrusive. Fabulous place for families or friends get together. Beautifully refurbished, give it a try

- Lilian, August 2018
John August 2018

“Excellent accommodation in a beauty location worth every penny.”

The owner of the house we stayed at was very helpful. Complimentary bread/butter and homemade cake on arrival plus a discount voucher for the local butcher. Wonderful would recommend highly

- John, August 2018
Sue July 2018

“Great location ideal base for walking holiday.”

It would be helpful to have grab rails for the shower over the bath!!

- Sue, July 2018
Cheryl July 2018

“Very enjoyable holiday.”

Church view is very good value for money compared to other cottages of this size. As mentioned by other guests the road noise was a nuisance for two of our party. It was not possible to move rooms and due to the hot weather windows needed to be open. It did not, however spoil the holiday. It is comfortable and the important things: bathrooms, bedding ,towels were very clean and comfortable the kitchen was clean enough but a few areas eg freezer drawers, cutlery drawers etc had been missed. Again it did not affect the holiday. Ideal house for a large group with children and dogs. Lovely area and nice pubs in the village. Shops very good but pricey. Welcome pack a nice touch. Owner very pleasant and helpful.

- Cheryl, July 2018
Jayne July 2018

“Cottage itself was okay and had everything needed for a weeks stay.”

HOWEVER, the owners had failed to point out that the cottage is located on a very busy road (for a small village) which is used as a ‘rat run’ by local traffic. Due to a ‘stop/give way road marking for oncoming traffic from opposite direction’ there were vehicles constantly stopping and pulling away right outside the dining room/under a main bedroom. This traffic continued right through Saturday night /Sunday morning and commenced again on the Monday at 0345). Whilst traffic noise may not be an issue with some guests using the property we found it extremely intrusive and after just two nights and a total of 6 hours sleep we made the decision to leave and return home. Sitting outside ‘at the end of the day with a cool drink’ was not something we would recommend unless you enjoy watching/listening to the constant traffic pass by approx 6ft from the coolest area of the garden. We were informed by the owner on arrival that the road was used as “a rat run for the Sellafield workers” - some 10,000 are employed there and many come from the Barrow in Furness area which means they pass through the village. However the owner also said “get used to it, it is what it is”. This reference to the traffic and the problems it caused was the only mention, NO INFORMATION in respect of this is given in any of the advertising literature. When contacted on this matter (via Sykes) and a refund of 50% of the cost suggested the owners reply was “we should have shut the windows/slept in the back bedrooms/property is double glazed” - I would like to point out that the night temperature was in the 20s, closing the windows was not an option due to the heat and even if you closed the window the noise was still instrusive. As for sleeping in the back bedrooms this made no difference at all as this was tried (and we had not come on holiday to sleep in single beds in a back bedroom). According to newspaper articles the village has had concerns re traffic volume/noise for some time (most recent report in local paper Nov 2017); residents are concerned about the stress due to noise/volume etc it is causing them and other visitors to the village. ‘Homemade’ 20mph traffic signs have been made and put up at each end of the road. There is also an official warning sign on the busy A road approx 150yds from property stating ‘Ignore Sat Nav instructions’ urging vehicles not to turn into Church Street. As of today 15/07/2018 the owners have failed to respond to messages sent to them by Sykes regarding the 50% refund (which I consider fair under the circumstances) - I feel we have been totally misled with the location of the property and had there been mention of any possible disturbance to guests by traffic noise etc made on the web advert then we would certainly NOT have booked the property. Maybe Sykes need to rethink their ‘check list’ when visiting properties in the future. CHURCH VIEW COTTAGE details certainly need updating.

“This property is seriously underated.”

- Keith, June 2018
Janet April 2018

“The house was very roomy, so that, even with eight adults there, we were able to find space without crowding.”

It was also warm and cosy. The two dogs had space for their beds without being in the way. We had not visited Broughton before, but found it to be an excellent base for exploring the south Lakes, and also the coastline with its bird reserves at Millom and South Walney. There were endless possibilities for walks, from the village itself or further afield on the fells. We noted how friendly the local folk were and the village shops are superb, with butcher, grocer, greengrocer, bakery and post office providing everything one might need for a week's stay. We would go there again, and book the same property if we had the numbers to warrant it.

- Janet, April 2018
Lois March 2018

“Well what a lovely cottage, everything we needed and more.”

We felt at home straight away and loved the village of Broughton, its bakery, and and friendly people. We took a roll of temporary fencing to secure an area in the garden for our dogs because as previous reviews stated, for dogs smaller than a labrador type there are wide railings to escape through. There is however a safe stoned area just outside the kitchen so we could have managed without fencing the garden but for our young Springer Spaniel and Boarder terrier it was an added bonus. The area was perfect, close to the Fells and also only 7 miles to the beautiful beach at Silecroft.

- Lois, March 2018
David March 2018

“Very good cottage, excellent location, had everything we needed.”

- David, March 2018
Ian December 2017

It is very well equipped and very comfortable, I would recommend this property for anyone wishing to explore the Southern area of the lake district.

- Ian, December 2017
Ian November 2017

“Comfy and cosy house yet spacious enough for are party of eight adults, situated within five minutes walk from all village amenities.”

Excellent situation for exploring South and West Lakeland.

Julie August 2017

“This was the first time I had used Sykes Cottages and I found the whole process very easy.”

I appreciate the email communications I still receive informing me of new properties and offers available as I know I will be using them again. Regarding our holiday, the property "Church View" in Broughton-in-furness was perfect. The welcome we received from the owners was lovely and included fresh bread, butter, milk and a cake which after a long drive was very much appreciated.

- Julie, August 2017
Neil July 2017

“The property was exactly as described, it perfectly met the needs of our group of 3 couples, it was well equipped and furnished to a good standard.”

We very much liked the village of Broughton with 3 Pubs, a Post Office, excellent Butchers & Bakers and convenience store. There were lovely walks from the village and the Southern Lake District area had plenty for us to do over the week. A very enjoyable holiday.

- Neil, July 2017
Jason June 2017

Mary April 2017

“The welcome pack provided was unexpected and excellent.”

The house has everything you could need and is comfortable and to a high standard. The owner was friendly and very helpful and a very small issue we had was dealt with immediately with no fuss. The discount voucher for the local shop was an added bonus. The views from the property are amazing .

- Mary, April 2017

Carolle January 2017

“The best equipped cottage we've ever stayed in.”

Everything spotless, and the added bonus of a nice welcome pack. Lots of nice crockery and glassware, we were not short of anything. Lovely, quiet little town with amazing shops, cafes, pubs. Within reach of most of Lake District. Would definitely stay there again.

- Carolle, January 2017
Lyn December 2016

“Just spent Xmas 2016 at this lovely property with family.”

Excellent to entertain in,kitchen had everything you could need to cater for a large group, living area warm and spacious despite eight of us being there,dining room fabulous for festive eating, drinking and silly games. Owners provided Xmas tree, festive drinks and cake on arrival, lovely idea. Property in easy reach of all south lakes attractions and short walk to pubs restaurants, butchers and bakers. Thank you to the owners for a fan Xmas!

- Lyn, December 2016
Elaine October 2016

“It was a lovely, warm, spacious and well equipped cottage.”

The owner was very pleasant and helpful and sent us some very useful information beforehand. A lovely welcome pack of cake, butter, milk, tea and coffee was provided. The village was in easy walking distance and had an excellent bakery, butcher and grocery shop and we had a very good meal in the Black Cock pub. We were lucky with the weather and had some great walks in the surrounding area.

- Elaine, October 2016
Mark September 2016

“The cottage is large and well laid out, well equipped and in a great location.”

The owner was always available and very helpful. Broughton in Furness is a very welcoming town with all the facilities you could ask for.

- Mark, September 2016
Jackie September 2016

“Cottage was in a lovely village but as the road in front of the cottage was used as a cut through there was more traffic noise at peak times than expected.”

The garden was fenced but the gaps into the neighbours and the width of the fencing at the front meant that it was not secure for a small dog. Other than that a really nice cottage in a great location.

- Jackie, September 2016
Shirley July 2016

“Wonderful little cottage that provided a perfect base for our holiday!”

The local village was lovely and the village bakery and butcher were excellent!

- Shirley, July 2016
Robert April 2016

“This was a great base for touring around within easy reach of the local village with excellent pubs and shops.”

It was very friendly and welcoming to both humans and dogs, a spacious and warm accommodation with everything you could ask for. the owner was helpful and attentive in discreet way. We much preferred this part of the Lakes to the more touristy bit further North and East.

- Robert, April 2016
Carol March 2016

“Had a very comfortable stay.”

There was plenty of room and very comfortable beds. The owner was very pleasant and informative. It was in a lovely location, there was nothing to fault.

“We love staying at Church View!”

This was our 3rd time here! Church View is everything you want in a holiday home! It was well equipped with lovely big rooms and we always enjoy the log burner! We will definitely be booking again in the future!

- Becky, February 2016
Josephine October 2015

“The cottage was a good size & well thought out.”

Heating was very good, didn't need to light the wood burner. The location was excellent. Local pubs & shops were close by & had everything you needed, very good!

- Josephine, October 2015
David May 2015

“In a good location on the edge of the village.”

The cottage was comfortable and homely, and was very suitable for the whole family (including two dogs). There were nice walks around area and the village of Broughton was very pleasant with local shops, cafe's and pubs. The owners were friendly and helpful.

- David, May 2015
Richard March 2015

“Everything was great, it was the best value cottage we have stayed at ever.”

We had everything we wanted..except the weather! Even the bad weather was catered for with the roaring fire and extensive board games. We loved it and the owner was helpful and relaxed about everything.

- Richard, March 2015
Martin February 2015

“Church View is a fabulous place to explore the Lake District.”

The house itself is a cosy and warm base for any holiday. The owners are very friendly and informative. Broughton-in-Furness village is very quaint with the bakers and butcher's serving high quality food. There are also a number of great walks that start at the square. I would definitely stay here again.

- Martin, February 2015
Leslie February 2015

“Large detached building with nice sized bedrooms and living room, plenty of parking space, lovely views of the Church & estuary and a large secure grassed garden for my dog.”

Everything we needed was provided and the owners are very friendly and helpful. The village with plentiful pubs is lovely, the locals are friendly and there are a lot of picturesque walks from the village where a car is not required, especially the nearby parks to the east. The WiFi was a bonus also.

- Leslie, February 2015
Roy December 2014

“Had another amazing week at this house.”

The house was always lovely and warm even in the colder days and is big enough that nobody is on top of each other.

- Roy, December 2014
Kim August 2014

“We were a party of 8 adults, a baby and two dogs and this property was large enough to accommodate us all.”

We were greeted with a warm welcome. The bedrooms were all large and the kitchen, living and dining room were all of a decent size that we could all be in one room at the same time and not feel overcrowded. The garden was also great and had a large BBQ which we took advantage of. This property was exactly what we were looking for in terms of location, plenty of walking and set in a lovely little quaint village with the main tourist attractions not too far away. The pubs in the village were very welcoming, served amazing food and allowed dogs. I would definitely recommend!

- Kim, August 2014
Paula June 2014

“This is probably one of the nicest cottages we've ever stayed at.”

Everything, from the welcome phone call and emailed directions with useful information about the village, to the cottage itself was above and beyond anything we expected. A beautiful, spacious, well decorated and equipped cottage in a delightful setting. I can't recommend Church View highly enough, we had a wonderful time.

- Paula, June 2014
Mark June 2014

Robin April 2013

“Broughton in Furness is perfect for walkers.”

It's not too far to the sea or to any of the south peaks. There are two excellent pubs but the bakery in town was a hidden gem, would move to Broughton in Furness for this shop alone. Church view cottage was also a home-from-home, will be coming back.

“The house was wonderful and the owners were on hand if we needed anything.”

Even gave our granddaughter a Christmas present. They had put up a Christmas tree, left a bottle of mulled wine, bread, milk etc. Also they provided ample amount of towels which was of great benefit. It was perfect in every detail. Would recommend to everyone, weather was awful but the house was so warm and comfortable we enjoyed staying in and relaxing in front of the log fire.

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.
