"A very comfortable and large cottage set within a very beautiful location - the view from the garden area is truly magnificent."
The Duddon Valley is less busy than the more tourist areas of the Lake District but not so far to visit those areas should you wish. However there are plenty of local walks where you can walk and not see a soul for hours! The cottage is well equipped with everything you might need and space enough for the extended family or friends to share. We struggle sometimes to find cottages in the Lake District with two loos to help ease the morning rush let alone two full bathrooms and an extra separate loo! And bit of additional info both Tesco and Asda can find the property.

"We had an absolutely fabulous holiday in this beautiful cottage and location."
The only thing that wasn’t ideal was that we tried to amend the booking (over 48 hours before) to say that we had our family joining us (6 instead of 2 adults, and 2 infants). But the owners were not notified of this. Thankfully they called on the morning of the day we were arriving, so I was able to confirm the change. They were super gracious and welcoming, despite this being the first they knew of it. Really lovely people! Sykes booking system needs looking at though. We hope to return to Kiln Bank, after such a perfect stay

It was so peaceful and warm. The owners were helpful at every ask. We LOVED it, it was the tranquility that we needed Thanks

"We loved this cottage."
The location was just what we were hoping for. It was comfortable and roomy enough to cope with 6 people easily. We would definitely consider rebooking in the future.

"A wunderful pleasent stay in a well kept cottage with spectacular views over the Duddon Valley."
One of the best stays in the lakes.
-
"We had a great stay at High Kiln Bank cottage."
Fantastic views in a wonderful part of the country. Did some great walks including the old man of Coniston and Dow crag. Cottage is run by lovely people who went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed. Very comfortable and spacious. Great to hear the chickens in the morning.

"An amazing cottage, beautifully kept and super comfortable."
Fantastic views across the valley, quiet and peaceful. Some winding steep roads to get to the cottage which made for an exciting drive but so worth it! But really once there, you don't really need to travel at all as there are so many fabulous walks nearby.I would highly recommend this property and it's friendly host.
-
"We loved our stay in thie gorgeous cottage."
It's comfortable, clean and very picturesque. It's also in a stunning spot and the views are incredible. The owners couldn't have been more hospitable and kind. We'd highly recommend it to anyone.

"This is a magical place - a lovely old cottage with so many opportunities to engage with the environment, climb hills, paddle in rivers, stepping stones, see lakes, hill forts etc."
Cottage was homely, roomy, well equipped and spacious. Perfect for 4 adults and two young children. And a large dog! It took a while to adjust to the lack of wifi and phone coverage and limited TV coverage - be prepared!- we would have preferred to be able to access the garden from the house, but it was still a wonderful space (only a short walk) to go to and sit or play. Pets and children welcome everywhere - we had some lovely lunches in the local pubs.
-
"Proximity to local walks and high peaks around wastwater."
Peaceful and quiet area. Great pub at Seathwaite. Easier access than initially thought.
-
"Clean and tidy beautiful area and peaceful"
-
"It is a really nice location with a very spacious and cosy cottage with everything needed to take a break and disconnect from the rest of the world."
As a special mention, we've really enjoyed the view of the valley from the BBQ spot. Definitely recommended
-
"Beautiful cottage on sheep farm in the most wonderful location."
So quiet and away from the crowds, with wildlife all around. Cottage was well equipped with everything we needed. Very friendly and helpful owners. A joy to have no phone coverage or internet in the house - so good to unwind and get away from it all. Thank you!
-
"An idyllic location with beautiful views of the valley from the gardens."
Our hosts were very welcoming, plentiful supply of logs, a warm and comfortable cottage. Lovely walks straight from the door and a very peaceful spot. We especially loved the large, mature trees such as the magnificent Copper Beech outside our front door. The picnic benches in the orchard, again great views and being surrounded by birdsong.
-
"This cottage is gorgeous and comfortable and the setting, overlooking the Duddon Valley, is absolutely stunning."
We loved our stay here and wish we could have stayed longer!
-

Owner very friendly and helpful.

"Great location, very friendly people - loved the flowers and bottle of wine."
We met Mr Richardson a couple of times, he was chatty and very helpful - could not have picked a better de-stress get away.

"Lovely apartment in Dorset overlooking the beach."
Clean and tidy on arrival and useful that they supplied fresh tea towels, sponge, j-cloth, bin bag and washing up liquid as well as a few dishwasher tablets so you don’t have to buy during 7 day stay. Comfortable stay as plenty of space, quick access to west bay facilities all within walking distance so you can leave the car in secure underground car park until end of holiday if you didn’t want to explore the coast further afield. Get sun on balcony from about 2pm and sunset is lovely to watch whilst enjoying bottle of wine on comfy balcony furniture. Plenty to do including paddle boarding from the east beach, rib rides from harbour, river kayaking and rowing boats on River Brit behind the harbour (get to see Broadchurch Detective’s riverside chalet from boat) as well as coastal walks to east over the ‘Broadchurch’ cliffs to Chesil Beach or west over the cliffs to Eype and Golden Cap near Lyme Regis. Incidentally several external areas around the apartment block were used to represent the Broadchurch police station if you enjoyed the TV series. Nearest supermarket is Morrison’s 2 miles away in Bridport but can pick up bits in Spar if don’t want to use the car. Restaurants limited due to Covid with several closed or just doing takeaway but we knew that would be case and apartment had all equipment in kitchen to enable full meals to be prepared so we had best of both worlds as cooking was easy with those lovely sea views.

-
"We were very lucky with the weather - it was perfect."
We love this cottage and its location.
-
"We have been visiting the Duddon Valley for many years and High kiln Bank cottage is ideally placed to enjoy this part of the lake district."
As for the accommodation; simply excellent. We highly recommend this property and would be happy to return. No Wifi or mobile signal, bliss if you want to get away from the distraction and unwind.
-
"This was a beautiful cottage in a beautiful hidden valley, but the remoteness may come as a surprise to some."
The cottage was not that well equipped in the kitchen, especially as most visitors would have to spend time cooking, as there is not a lot of other eating establishments around. This cottage won't appeal to the casual Lakes visitor, as it is so remote, but that is part of the appeal to us
-
"This is a lovely, spacious farm house full of character and excellent facilities eg hot water, great showers, efficient heating system, log-burning stove."
There is a separate "Orchard" a few yards from the cottage which has seats and table and wonderful views over the Duddon valley:- great place to sit and for children to play. We really appreciated being met by the owner who showed us around the property and clearly explained all of its systems. We would be very happy to stay there again. Suggestions to owner: NOT TO BE PUBLISHED Because the cottage is remote and shopping is some distance away we would suggest: Providing (a) some tablets for the dish washer (b) some washing powder (eg enough to do one wash) and (c) something (eg a dish cloth or pan scourer) to aid in washing the dishes. These would make life there easier. Again because of remoteness, the owner could consider supplying a loaf of bread, some butter/margarene, a bottle of milk and a few tea bags as a welcome pack-just to get started on the arrival day.

"A spacious yet cosy cottage, well and truly off the beaten track in the beautiful Duddon Valley."
-
"We booked this cottage via booking."
Com and the listing was pretty much the same as Sykes. I felt Sykes was a bit more thorough than booking. Telephone conversations were seamless with Sykes. Payment transactions & any information we needed made the holiday booking a true joy. We will definitely use Sykes again, and would recommend them to anyone.

"This cottage is in a delightful location especially if you are keen walkers."
The weather on this occasion was superb and sitting in the orchard area looking over the view of the valley was amazing.
-
"I enjoyed the surroundings as it was my first visit to the Lake District."
The owners' mother lived next door and was so kind, and helpful. She had so much knowledge and experience of this beautiful place. I was going through a difficult time and found the peace that I was looking for. Thank you . My dog Hugo loved it too!
-
"An amazing cottage, hidden away in a glorious location."
The cottage was warm, spacious yet cosy. Bedrooms very comfortable and the luxury of an open fire was great.

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.
