Snaptrip says
Lilac Cottage is appreciated for its cleanliness, comfortable beds, and good-sized rooms. It is well-placed for exploring the Lake District, despite some concerns about traffic noise. The property requires attention to maintenance and accurate descriptions.
Guests that stayed at this property said
The property is generally found to be clean and well-maintained, with new carpets and comfortable beds. However, some reviews mention a smell of damp and presence of mould, which affects the overall perception of cleanliness.
The cottage's location is convenient for visiting local attractions, but the proximity to a busy road and associated traffic noise has been a concern for some guests.
Guests find the beds comfortable and the rooms of a good size. However, the presence of damp and traffic noise has impacted the comfort level for some.
Facilities like the bathroom and kitchen are praised, but issues with maintenance, such as doors that are difficult to open, a non-working hob, and lack of drying space for clothes, have been highlighted.
There is no mention of gifts or extra thoughtful touches provided by the hosts in the reviews, so it is not possible to assess this category.
About this property
Broughton-in-Furness 5.1 miles. Lilac Cottage is a wonderful, semi-detached property that dates back to the 17th century and is located in the small Cumbrian village of Beanthwaite. Lilac Cottage is an excellent option for friends, families and couples, thanks to its convenient position just outside the Lake District National Park and its breath-taking view of the Duddon Estuary and Coniston Mountain. One, off-street parking spot and a front raised garden with seats and a summerhouse overlooking the valley are among the property's many benefits. There is a modest but well-equipped kitchen on the ground floor, perfect for whipping up tasty dishes to share with friends and family over a bottle of wine in the dining room's exposed-beam setting. Proceed into the sitting area, which also features exposed beams, and unwind on the sumptuous sofas in front of the TV as an open fire crackles in the background Finishing the ground floor is a combined utility room and cloakroom for your use. Take the stairs up to the first level, where you'll find three bedrooms, two doubles and a single, and a stylish bathroom with a freestanding tub and a walk-in shower. Adventure awaits at Lilac Cottage. Note: This property can be booked with Ref. 1118407 together sleeping up to 7 guests.
Broughton-in-Furness, a settlement that has been around since the 11th century and is now just six miles from Coniston Water, is located in the southwest corner of the Lake District. There are numerous things to see and do in this area, including a charming cobblestone square with a magnificent horse chestnut tree and Georgian-style buildings surrounding it. You can easily access the stunning natural landscapes of the Duddon Valley and the more secluded fells of the Lake District from this settlement, making it an excellent home base for a walking or climbing vacation. William Wordsworth and one of Britain's greatest 20th-century poets, Norman Nicholson, both made this region famous via their writing and poetry. Brother of the Bront sisters and author Branwell Bront spent some time in the village. In close proximity is Foxfield, from which you may board the Furness Railway for a scenic journey along the west coast of Cumbria. This picturesque town, located in the heart of the Lake District and not far from the coast, is an excellent jumping-off point from which to discover the region's many enchanted lakes, mountains, and moorland.
