Guests that stayed at this property said
Reviews on cleanliness are mixed, with several guests finding the cottage unclean and mentioning issues such as mould and dust. However, others had no complaints, suggesting inconsistency in cleaning standards.
The location is highly praised for its stunning views and peacefulness, with easy access to local walks and pubs. Some guests were surprised by the proximity of a campsite, but the overall sentiment about the location is very positive.
The cottage is frequently described as cosy, homely, and spacious, with a comfortable setting that accommodates large groups and families. Some guests mentioned issues with appliances and a lack of ventilation in bedrooms, but comfort overall is rated highly.
Facilities like the hot tub are a highlight, though some guests reported problems that were promptly addressed by the owners. The presence of a working farm adds charm, but there are remarks about the need for tidying up outside and updating appliances.
While the reviews reflect a warm and welcoming host, there are no specific mentions of gifts or special touches that would fall under the category of thoughtfulness. Therefore, it is not possible to provide a score in this category.

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 character filled 500 year old cottage is located within a working farm with a small campsite to the side. Not once were we disturbed by any jobs being done on the farm or the campers coming and going. The hot tub was in a perfect location to enjoy some of the scenery but still isolated from view of campers and sheltered from the wind. The various animals wandering around the farm were a constant source of entertainment and enjoyment, the dogs were all extremely well behaved and comical - the highlight for us was the unexpected litter of 4 week old puppies we were welcomed by which made leaving here that little more difficult! The walks around that are listed in the welcome book were clearly instructed and perfect for dog walkers - just be prepared for some hills if youâre used to more flat walking. Thank you again to Louise and her family for being wonderful hosts and we look forward to coming back in the future

Beautifully presented 400 year old cottage on a working farm. If you'd like a place to relax after a day walking around the lakes, this place is perfect . There are friendly dogs, cows , pigs, and goats which love being fussed over. Guaranteed good nights sleep in this cottage. Three generations of us stayed at moss side Farm Cottage, and all of us felt the benefits . The owners are very nice and helpful if needed . The only downside of our stay was having to leave after a fantastic time. Highly recommend to anyone.
