“We stayed here for 3 nights and it was a lovely cottage and very picturesque views.”

The garden was nice and big and the kids loved it. The cottage was kept to a high standard and had everything in we needed. We would definitely look to book here again. The owners left us a welcome pack which was unexpected and a very nice surprise, we would highly recommend the cottage to anyone wanting to stay in this area. Thank you for the great stay.

“Lot of rising damp felt not quite warm enough, perhaps because it wasn’t in regular use in previous weeks.”

Some things need replacing, frying pans and especially television Property wonderfully clean and very spacious and great for a family holiday in a lovely part of the country

John December 2023

“Lovely spacious house set in a quiet, ideal location and in close proximity to Lake Windermere and the other Lakes.”

Good sized kitchen and three bedrooms with the unusual benefit of en-suite bathrooms. It has all the facilities required for a comfortable stay. Outside is a good sized garden which was perfect for the dogs to wander and investigate (apologies if they left a few small craters in the lawn). Thank you for making our New Year’s celebrations special.

“An amazing house with everything you could wish for provided.”

We had a lovely stay, despite the rain! We would definitely love to use Greety Gate House again.

- Heather, September 2023

Thank you Heather for your lovely comments both on site and visitors book. We would love you to come back with Dexter . You were 5 star residents. So pleased you enjoyed your stay despite the weather conditions Deborah and Geoff Xx Property Owner
John September 2023

“Had a fantastic long weekend away here, Sunday lunch in the local pub was fantastic although we had to nominate a driver as the cottage is very rural.”

The description states it was within walking distance but this meant using a public right of way across some wet farmers fields great for walking the dog but be prepared. Horses were very friendly….

- John, September 2023
Zoe August 2023

“This is a beautiful place, so much space for 8 people.”

It was well maintained but we need to wash some of the things in the kitchen before we could use them. Geoff was lovely, very attentive, and the treats waiting for us on arrival were a nice surprise. The drive to the car park for Lake Windermere was about 40 minutes and it was 1 hour 15 minutes to Aira Force Waterfall. We really enjoyed our week's stay and would definitely recommend this as a good location for all the Lake District has to offer.

- Zoe, August 2023
Emily July 2023

“Greety Gate House is a beautiful house which is well maintained and has a great amount of space for a large family/ group.”

The house was very clean aside from a few spiders webs in the top room. The garden is beautiful, just a shame the weather didn’t allow us to enjoy it as much as we would have wanted to! The only downside is that the house is very rural which means you have to drive a while to find anything! You cannot just walk out of the property which is a shame as the area is stunning! We had a lovely stay and hope to return in the future.

- Emily, July 2023

Thank you Emily really glad you enjoyed your stay apart from the weather that is something we can’t control. Yes Spiders love old houses and as quick as I get rid they come back , so apologies for finding cobwebs. Hope to see you return one day and hope your journey home wasn’t as long as travelling up . Deborah and Geoff Property Owner
Janis July 2023

“Greety Gate is a lovely place with great views of countryside all round.”

The owners and family are lovely people very friendly. The house itself is big and lovely and clean. We had a fantastic stay and the welcome pack was really appreciated. I can wholly recommend the fabulous location and house.

- Janis, July 2023

Thank you Janis for your lovely comments glad you enjoyed yourselves and hope to see you again Regards Deborah and Geoff Property Owner
Sabina May 2023

“We have just had the most beautiful week in your stunning farmhouse with great weather.”

We were greeted with a lovely package when we arrived at the farmhouse, which consisted of milk, flowers, chocolates , a card and treats for our dogs The farmhouse felt like home, it was spacious, beautiful bedrooms and the most stunning garden- the pictures really don’t do it justice with views to the estuary. The cottage has everything amd more you need for your stay- even games and books. Every morning we would sit out in the beautiful garden soaking up the sun. The neighbours were also very friendly. Broughton is within walking distance over a field to a great real ale pub, bakery and shop. Windermere was a short drive and so was coniston. We also visited Buttermere, Thirlmere, Ambleside, Grassmere amd Keswick. Everyday we ventured around the Lakes, there’s so much to see and do- if only we stayed for longer. We will definitely be booking with you again to this beautiful part of the Lake District. We have stayed in numerous cottages over the years and this has to be favourite so far. Highly recommended Thank you

- Sabina, May 2023

Thank you Sabina for your lovely lovely comments very much appreciated. The weather has been fantastic for you and glad you felt so at home. Your comments in our visitors book was also great. Not everyone leaves us messages. Look forward to seeing you again Geoff and Deborah Hall xx Property Owner

Thank you so much for your lovely feedback and your note you left on departure. So pleased you enjoyed your stay and you had a wonderful Christmas with your family. Wishing you all a Healthy and Happy New Year Kind regards Deborah and Geoffrey Hall xx Property Owner
Martin July 2022

“The property and the setting were excellent - if I was being picky I'd say the sofa's are past their best as you sink right into them and although you're just over 1 mile from a pub, there's no safe footpath to walk back and forth.”

- Martin, July 2022
Andrea December 2021

“Idyllic and full of charm cottage.”

Very clean and well kept very spacious lots of charm. Would definitely go back maybe try a different season possibly summer to enjoy the livery garden.

Justine August 2021

“Lovely property with a home from home experience.”

Lovely big garden. Neighbours were wonderful and told us all the best places around the area and also the little walk 50 yards from the property. Only drawer back was there was no pathway on the roadside so had to walk through fields which was great for us but maybe not for someone less able. Beautiful village of Broughton only 5 minutes drive which has a lovely bakery and butchers and some nice pubs.

“Lovely cottage, perfect for us.”

cosy and well appointed .

Lindsay October 2020

“A spacious clean cottage with lovely gardens for the dog.”

You are greeted with a welcome pack of goodies for both humans and canines. The conservatory is ideal for relaxing in and the fire makes the colder nights more cosy. Some of the low beams can be tricky when most of you are over 6 foot tall but still an enjoyable stay. We would definitely come here again.

- Lindsay, October 2020
Paul August 2020

“We had a great week away in this property.”

It was clean, spacious & well stocked [with cooking utensils/ towels etc]. The owners were welcoming and friendly; the book of local walks we borrowed were brilliant. Most of all, we enjoyed the large garden / patio furniture. Lots of space for our group to sit out and chill. I would happily go back!

Peter July 2019

“Had a fab time at Greety gate house.”

Lovely house. Plenty of space for a family. Good base for exploring the area. If I have to say anything negative it is the pluming. A few things need attention but apart from that we had the best time

- Peter, July 2019
Hans July 2019

“All members of the larger family were very pleased with their stay at the Cottage.”

The generous space of the rooms with en-Suite bathrooms , the well equipped kitchen and houshold room as well as large living ares including an impressive conservatory exceeded our expectation. And the well maintained garden with inviting furniture rounded off a wonderful experience, especially on sunny days.

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.
