Millwood Manor

About this property

Settled on the outskirts of the town of Dalton-in-Furness, Cumbria is the Grade II listed Millwood Manor. This impressive, dog-friendly, historic holiday home benefits from extensive grounds with lawn, multi-level patio and furniture, ample off-road parking, a spectacular location near the coast and the adventure-filled Lake District National Park and four well-appointed bedrooms sleeping up to twelve guests; perfect for families or friends gathering in Cumbria. Cross the threshold and unwind in either of the sitting rooms which boast a soothing woodburning stove or crackling open fire, idyllic places to warm your feet in front of the TV after a day full of exploration. Allow the designated chef of the group to whip up a storm in the fully-equipped kitchen fitted with an electric range cooker and sample their culinary creations in the formal dining room with seating for the whole group. Reminisce on the cherished memories you have created so far before stepping outside to soak up the last of the sun on the patio where you can raise a glass of your favourite tipple to your holiday. When the sky darkens, head up to the first floor to wash off the day in either the bathroom or shower room ahead of catching your rest in one of four bedrooms; choose from a double, or three family rooms with super-king-size, doubles, and singles. Find local amenities in the heart of Dalton-in-Furness home to a variety of stores and pubs as well as a quaint castle. Alternatively immerse yourself in history at the 12th-century ruins of Furness Abbey or The Dock Museum in Barrow-in-Furness, which is also home to Biggar Bank, Sandy Gap and Walney Island Beach with views across the sea. Follow the coast north to find the National Trust’s Haws National Nature Reserve where you can take scenic coastal walks with your beloved canine companion through the dunes on Roanhead Beach with views across to Millom. Take a short drive into the Lake District National Park to explore the famed lake town of Windermere, where you can take to the water on kayaks, paddle boards or simply admire the views by boat, and Coniston where the brave can try to summit The Old Man of Coniston for breath-taking views. Experience the wonders of the Lake District and Cumbria at Millwood Manor.

Dalton-in-Furness, a historic settlement, can be found in a little valley on the end of the Furness Peninsula that sticks out into Morecambe Bay. Dalton, the former county seat of Furness, now boasts a diverse collection of establishments catering to its residents. A Victorian drinking fountain, the market cross, and 19th-century stone slabs used for fish drying are just a few of the noteworthy buildings in and around the town's central square. Dalton Castle, a pele tower built in the 14th century, was initially used as a safe haven by the monks of Furness Abbey, a magnificent sandstone ruin in a tranquil forested valley. The South Lakes Wild Animal Park, the lone Laurel and Hardy museum in Ulverston, and the Haventhwaite Steam Railway to Lakeside (from which you may catch a steam train to Bowness or Ambleside) are all within easy driving distance of the city. In addition to Cartmel, Holker Hall, and Grizedale Forest, the beautiful Duddon Estuary and Duddon Valley are located just to the north of Dalton-in-Furness. Location on the outskirts of Lake District National Park and proximity to both mountains and beaches make this an attractive destination for hikers, bicyclists, and nature lovers.
