    “Large house which housed our two families perfectly Big drive for our 2 large vehicles perfect - large garden great for the dog but not totally secure as advertised as our dog could get right round the back of the property along to the next house!”

    ! House was clean and had everything we needed - bit dark inside in the evenings downstairs but we used every lamp available and made the best of it! Owners very helpful when there was a power cut and supplied battery lanterns Plenty of towels and beds nice and comfortable Unfortunately just a bit far out for our liking for the tourist spots but due to the size of our party we needed a large property and for that Greety Gate House ticked the box!

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.
