"Station View is a super cottage, cozy, clean and very well equipped."
Very lucky to have 2 great pubs within easy walking distance … The Ship and The Commercial. Fantastic location to explore the West Coast - we enjoyed trips to the stunning Wastwater, a ride on La’al Ratty from Ravenglass, and a visit to Muncaster Castle. Bonus to have the main line railway just across the road - we went on the train to Carlisle.

"I love this are of Cumbria and the location of the cottage was perfect."
From the accommodation we crossed the lane and hopped on the train to travel up the coast, knowing we were coming back to a warm, well-equipped, clean and very comfortable cottage. The estuary is a very special place with stunning views and amazing light. I would definitely like to stay at this cottage again.

"We had a wonderful stay here, it’s a real “home away from home”."
We would stay here again as it has everything you need and is very comfortable and easy with our two children. We did have a couple of niggles on arrival as it had been empty for some time and so there were a few cobwebs in high places and some dust around. Under the beds, sofas and bedside cabinets hadn’t been hoovered so we had to do this ourselves. We mentioned this on arrival, and also because the toilet flush had broken (it was fixed within a couple of hours) and also the WiFi didn’t work for the duration of our stay. We were told that there was an oversight with it being empty for some weeks, so hopefully these issues were a one-off. It also would have been really helpful to have had some milk or something on arrival as there is no longer a shop in the village. Other than the niggles, we really had a pleasant stay, everything else was super clean and comfortable, lovely and warm and we never ran out of hot water. The loft room is fab for the kids to have their own space and the kitchen has everything you could need for a few meals. We will definitely stay again the next time we visit our family.

"This cottage was nice & comfortable."
Little bit of a problem with the electricity but it soon sorted itself out. The views & walks were lovely. The station was close but very handy & not really noisy.

"Everything as expected, great position, very quiet Only suggestion we would ..."
Everything as expected, great position, very quiet Only suggestion we would make is possibly bread milk butter provided for welcome pack instead of chocolates and biscuits as not close to shop to purchase said items However chocs and biscuits went down a treat
Thank you for the feedback- glad you enjoyed your stay! Hopefully the shop in the village will re-open soon and will see if we can make some adjustments to the welcome pack. Property Owner

The property

With an exquisite exterior, off-road parking, and great positioning to nearby amenities, this property is a fantastic base for a family looking to explore the Lake District National Park and its vast, stunning landscapes.
As you step into your new home-from-home, be charmed by a collection of well-presented living areas, including a fully-fitted kitchen, where the designated chef will find everything required to whip up delicious meals for the whole group.
Settle down to enjoy your feasts at the dining table before relaxing on the sofa in the living/dining room, where a Smart TV and crackling woodburning stove take centre stage.
A snug tucked away on the second floor of the house serves as a great escape for the younger members of the family who want to watch a film or two before bed.
As the evenings grow darker, treat yourself to a rejuvenating shower or a hot bath before retiring to a plush king-size bed - a perfect spot to unwind and prepare for a brand new day.
If you can tear yourself away from your peaceful lodgings, explore your local area by making the short car trip to Ulverston, where visitors can find attractions such as the Laurel & Hardy Museum and the Sir John Barrow Monument, as well as a range of excellent dining options, including the Old Farmhouse.
Whilst you're in the region, venture into the Lake District, where you can hop aboard the Lakeside and Haverthwaite Railway; get up close and personal with aquatic life at the Lakes Aquarium, or embark on a walk or bike ride along one of Grizedale's many rural trails.
If you don't feel like leaving the comfort of your new abode, why not enjoy the sights of the nearby railway line, including a whole host of trains chugging slowly past, sure to excite any keen trainspotters amongst your group; you'll also find a telescope in the attic, perfect for gazing out at the night sky!
Enjoy all of this when you book a stay at Station View.
Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £250.
About the location
KIRKBY-IN-FURNESS
Broughton-in-Furness 5 miles; Ulverston 5 miles.
Kirkby-in-Furness is a collection of six hamlets on the Furness peninsula overlooking the Duddon estuary. The village is home to a general store and two pubs as well as a railway station on the Cumbrian Coast Line. Just five miles away is Broughton-in-Furness which has much to please the visitor such as a pretty, cobbled square complete with a splendid horse chestnut tree, enclosed by shops, pubs and homes. 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. East of Kirkby-in-Furness is the ancient market town of Ulverston which still holds a street market every Thursday and Saturday. Today it’s well known as a festival town with events throughout the year, including walking and art festivals in the summer months and the renowned Dickensian festival in late November. One of the town’s great claims to fame is as the birthplace of Stan Laurel - it is now home to the only Laurel and Hardy museum in the world! Facilities include a wide range of shops, cafes, restaurants and pubs, a cinema and a leisure centre. All of the attractions of the National Park are easily reached and nearby family attractions include the World of Beatrix Potter, the Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway, the South Lakes Wild Animal Park and Muncaster Castle.
