Excellent!

Lovely little cottage!
We booked The Manse for a 3 night stay, we were very impressed, a real home away from home with every amenity you could want!
Great Broughton is a nice little village, the Punch Bowl is a little Gem of a pub.
Very easy access to explore the local area.
Cosy Cottage
A very cosy cottage with a very effective heating system and great coal-effect gas fire. We were very impressed with the overall cleanliness of the property and found the beds very comfortable. Access to the Lakes was very easy with the A66 running nearby. We didn't have very good weather, but were still able to do a number of walks.
Very small niggles : The hot water only ever dribbled out of the Kitchen tap which meant we had to boil a kettle to get enough hot water to wash up with. I suspect it's something to do with the pressure? A similar problem getting sufficient hot water for a bath. A few more saucepans too would be good. However, the cottage had a really good feel to it and we would certainly be happy to recommend to anyone who is looking for a cosy getaway.
Manse cottage, gr broughton
Well appointed propery close to main arterial route into west cumbria
Handy equally for west cumbrian coast and especially for western lakes
CAMRA recommended pub directly opposite, friendly and welcoming
Cockermouth on doorstep, cracking little market town
Would highly recommend
Very cosy cottage indeed!
Stayed here from 22nd to 29th July. Really cosy cottage. It was ideally situated for most of the places we wanted to visit. A comfortable bed, great selection of DVDs CDs and books to entertain and a lovely warm fire on the last few days when it got a bit chilly. It was also nice that things worked (ie Broadband) and there were plenty of utensils. Will recommend.
Only down side was trying to get the car out on to the road with selfish drivers going too fast in the village. You cannot see with the wall and I had to get my wife out in the road to guide me out.
Rustic
Well positioned to explore the surrounding area. Peaceful and relaxing. Wi if excellent beds comfy. Stairs tricky due to mobility issues but managed with caution.
Cosy Cottage
An excellent holiday cottage. We were there for five days including Christmas. Even the one wet and windy day was made enjoyable in this well-prepared and cosy cottage. Christmas decorations were up already! Directions to the property were accurate and there was already some heating on. There was plenty of information in the cottage about the facilities provided and possible attractions in the area. A prior exchange of emails with the owners added to this. Highly recommended.
Location
The Cumbria region
The Lake District national park is the UK's number 1 destination and its beauty is quite unique and cannot be compared. Every outdoor activity is catered for. The main interests are - bird watching, fishing (rivers and sea), golf, climbing, via ferrata, walking, gill scrambling, canoeing, boat trips, cycling and mountain biking. The tranquillity of the Western fells which are nearby lead you to the spectacularly beautiful lakes of Buttermere, Crummock water, Wastwater and Ennerdale water are all within reach by car touring and there are endless picnic sites. For the sporty the summit of England's highest mountain Scafell Pike is achievable and for the fell top bagger - the wainwrights will beckon. Lake side walks and boat trips are justly popular on nearby Derwentwater.
The village of Great Broughton is located on the river Derwent that flows from Derwentwater and Bassenthwaite lakes. The cottage is ideally located equally close to both the seaside (The Solway firth) and is in the Northern Lake District and Western fells. The village has a post office/ general store and has 3 pubs and a restaurant for bar meals at the Broughton Craggs Hotel . The beautiful lakes of Bassenthwaite, Buttermere, Crummock water, Derwentwater and Wastwater are easily accessible. Swimming and beaches are possible in the lakes and the seaside town of Allonby ( 20 minutes). The mountains of Skiddaw, Grasmoor, Haystacks and Scafell in the western fells are wonderful days out for walkers and mountaineers. The town of Cockermouth is nearby and is the home of Wordsworth house, Jennings brewery, boutique shops and restaurants. Keswick is a short 20 minute drive and this has market days (Thursday and Saturday), lake boating, the Pencil museum, swimming pool, Theatre by the lake, cinema and many thriving restaurants and shops. The Whinlatter centre is close by and features café, bike hire, high ropes course, mountain bike trails and a live video camera in the Osprey nest (May to September)
