Situated in the beautiful Duddon Valley, which is a peaceful and unspoilt area in the southwest corner of the Lake District National Park. Nestled between Coniston and Eskdale, the valley was a favourite of the poet William Wordsworth, and has often been called a “hidden gem”. It is set amongst the beautiful Furness and Dunnerdale fells and close to the picturesque village of Broughton-in-Furness (approx 1 mile) which has previously been voted Village of the Year in 2002 and has an excellent community with cafes, pubs, local shops and bakery. The property is also close to the market town of Ulverston.

The popular Blacksmiths Arms in Broughton Mills is only 3 miles away and the Newfield Inn in Seathwaite, 6 miles away, Coniston is 9 miles and Ambleside is 18 miles away. There are good road links via the A595 and A590 trunk road connecting it to the M6, Barrow-in-Furness and north to Scotland.
