Low Nook Cottage
We adore this quaint and quirky holiday cottage! Low Nook Cottage dates back to the early 1800s. It is located in the small market town of Broughton-in-Furness, which benefits from local pubs, a bakery (that we can personally highly recommend), butchers and a greengrocer that are right around the corner from the cottage.
This Broughton-in-Furness Cottage is in a conservation area, so it is surrounded by many other beautiful buildings and cobbled streets and courtyards. The cottage itself has so much personality and is very popular with walkers, as the fells of the Duddon Valley and the Beaches of West Cumbria are easily accessible, and this cosy cottage is a lovely home away from home to return to after a day out exploring.
The beautiful self-catering cottage has been renovated and decorated to a high spec to include toasty underfloor heating while keeping original features like the exposed wooden beams on the ceilings throughout the cottage.
The modern kitchen has all you would need for your stay and dining space and crockery for three. With Melville Tyson's butchers and greengrocers, and a bakery around the corner, self-catering here is a breeze!
Also on the ground floor is the delightfully decorated bathroom which has a stood bath with a hand-held shower attachment, a loo and a basin.
Heading up the carpeted stairs, which have fabulously-unique handrails (they're rowing oars!), to the first floor you will find both bedrooms with their wooden floors that match the exposed wooden beams above.
On the second floor, up another few steps, is the living room that extends over the whole floor, with lovely high ceilings. Ample seating, a TV with Internet channels, and a gas-fired stove, this space provides a perfect cosy snug to get settled in the evenings.

About the location
For an adventure closer to Broughton-in-Furness you will find beaches at Askam and Silecroft, the trails on the fells of the Duddon, Dunnerdale and Esk Valleys, Golf courses at Dunnerholm and Eskdale, and attractions at Muncaster Castle, and the Ravenglass Railway. The Duddon Valley is lovely for walks too, with the traditional Newfield Inn at the end of the valley, serving great food and real ales in front of the roaring fire.
Right at your doorstep, you will find lots of local history as the village itself dates back to the 11th century, the oldest building is thought to be St. Mary's Church. The focal point of the Georgian market square is the obelisk, built to mark the jubilee of King George III in 1810. Also surviving from these days are the stocks for misbehavers, and the fish slabs nearby used to sell fish caught in the nearby River Duddon.
The best way to travel in this area is by car, bicycle or foot. But if you are travelling by train, the local station is Foxfield Train Station. The railway station is a "request stop" on the scenic Cumbrian Coast Line. You will need to purchase tickets ahead of time, as this is an unmanned train station, and pre-arrange a taxi to take you from Foxfield to Broughton-in-Furness.
