The Low Farm - Beautiful 17th Century Stone Long House Near Coniston, Broughton-In-Furness

Lake District. Sleeps up to 9

This traditional Lakeland cottage has generous accommodation for up to nine guests and has many original features, including flagstone and Oak floors, beamed ceilings, wood burning stove, open fire places, original doors and timber paneling.

House sits on a generous plot with beautiful enclosed garden, great views & ample parking, just a short walk from the babbling, clear waters of the River Duddon. The spectacular scenery of the unspoiled Duddon valley made it a favourite location of both William Wordsworth and Alfred Wainwright, both of whom wrote extensively about this beautiful part of the Lake District. Whilst in an ideal location to access the central & southern lakes and all the amenities on offer, the pretty village of Ulpha is an oasis of peace and quiet in an area still dominated by traditional fell farming.

The village of Ulpha has a small shop / post office and the Newfield Inn / restaurant is 1.5 miles (comfortable walk) away in neighboring Seathwaite. The Blacksmith’s Arms in Broughton Mills (4 miles) serves great food and local beers and there are numerous other hostelries in nearby Broughton-in-Furness and Eskdale.  The Stepping Stones and Ulpha Bridge are popular spots for swimming, picnicking or just messing about by the river. There is great fishing in the area, Wasdale & Eskdale are a short drive away and for those looking for a bigger challenge Scafell Pike (highest mountain in England) and The Old Man of Coniston are within easy reach.
