“Really lovely big house.”

Love how spacious this is and the fact it has 4 big bedrooms and 2 bathrooms plus a toilet. Nice little welcome touch with teas / coffee / wine (the wine always goes the extra touch!). Overall great stay here. Only thing to be improved is the WiFi is pretty shocking and tv wasn’t working well (not sure if this was to do with the internet?) but we went on a very rainy weekend and wanted to watch tv which we couldn’t.

“It's a lovely house.”

Very well done out. Very clean. 3 floors may not have been such a good idea at our age! Lovely big bedrooms and bathrooms. Well kitted out kitchen and utility room. There were a few little things. The bin outside had not been emptied, the middle bathroom light didn't work, someone had broken the back gate wheel, kettle sometimes neede a little wiggle to work. Utility room toilet had a loose seat. There is a little step between the kitchen and passage that could do with a yellow tape or something. We all tripped up it. I went flying full length. If you're looking for scenic views and a pretty village this isn't the one for you. But if you're looking for a lovely house as a good base, it is. Not far from lots of scenery and interesting places.

“There is an issue with the Broadband in the property, made worse with the poor Cellular network coverage in the area.”

The router would keep dropping out, Vodafone contacted me after i managed to post an issue, when out and about with cellular connection, but would not fix it because i am not the account holder and they needed to go through security. There is a problem with WiFi in the property anyway with the stone construction, I suggest the owners would be better with powerline adapters between rooms as the wireless extenders are not able to function with the metallic stone building. It was a shame as this was our only downside of the property, we just need internet access so much these days - from planning days out, checking the weather forecast to booking restaurants. Although we were not expecting to use TV's very much, one was unusable because it had an operating system fault and the other could not be used for what we needed because of the Broadband issue.

“The house was not very clean.”

Cobwebs in corners. Dead flies and crumbs under settees. High chair very dusty. And we believed all your properties had Enhanced cleaning protocols! The backyard area had weeds growing out of the walls and windowsills and needed a sweep through. Too dirty to sit out there of an evening when the children were asleep. The sheets were very thin and bobbly but the pillowcases and duvet covers were lovely quality. The cheese grater was rusty, very unhygienic. That said we had a lovely holiday with the family. Days at the beach, park, zoo and on the steam train.

- Nina, July 2021

We are disappointed with the feedback and are confident the house was clean as our housekeeping team are excellent. The property is not advertised as having on outdoor seating area although it does benefit from a yard which can be used for parking. We have since purchased a new cheese grater and some new sheets. Had the guests advised us with the issues during their stay we could have sought to rectify any issues as our housekeeping team would have attended. Property Owner

“I would have thought there should have been at least one hairdryer per floor but there was only one in the property.”

Other than that everything was very clean and there was plenty utensils and crockery for our week's stay.

“Lovely holiday cottage, mostly very clean and a nice homely feel.”

Our only suggestions was the seating arrangements in the living room arnt capable of seating the 8 people that the house is able to sleep. Neither is the fridge able to hold easily adequate amount of food for that many people too with it not being a full size fridge. And we had problems with the TV not actually working as a smart tv because it wouldn't connect to the internet. All if the above are things that would improve the holiday experience but most Definately didn't ruin it for us. Would rebook again in the future.

- Mark, August 2020

Thank you very much for your feedbac, we are pleased that you enjoyed your stay. We are pleased to confirm that we have purchased new seating for the living room and we have reset the wifi router and the TV in the bedroom is now working. We look forward to you staying with us again Property Owner

“We stayed at Duddon House for 5 weeks.”

We are local and were having work carried out at home so needed somewhere to stay in the meantime. The house was perfect. We also had to work from home and homeschool during some of our stay and this house gave us plenty of space to do this. Everything we needed was there, I would absolutely recommend this house to anyone wanting to stay in Millom.

“Had a beautiful few days in this lovely spacious house.”

It was clean and well looked after. For those who like a good climb, The Old Man of Coniston is a gorgeous mountain with fantastic view of the mountains and lake. Haverigg playground is a lovely playground near sand and water. There are some convenient stores nearby including Co-Op, Spar and Tesco. We had an amazing holiday enjoyed by all. A pity we weren't here for longer.

“The house has unexpected 'wow' factor, a Victorian tardis.”

Beds are super comfy and bathrooms exceptional. Plenty of room for families. Muncaster Castle and walks with views of the hills and mountains. Owl and Falcon Centre with daily displays, children's maze and play area. Train ride to Barrow in Furness was really enjoyable. Trip to Coniston with top walks. For any Laurel and Hardy fans a trip to Ulverston.
