Church View Reviews

Comfortable and homely cottage well located on the outskirts of the village of Broughton with pubs, grocery store and butcher very close. A great base for discovering the Lake District and the lovely sandy beach at Silecroft. My x2 pooches were very happy there too!
Lovely cottage in a fantastic village with all the amenities you will need. Great location with so many places to visit
Very amazing cottage to spend the week walking and then relaxing in the evenings
Really liked the house and location in Broughton, local shops are great, pubs too although the food in Kings Head is over priced. We found certain things in the kitchen needed cleaning before they could be use, oven trays, frying pan etc and some need replacing. Bath waste doesn't flow away. Heating needs setting up, it came on in the middle of the first night. Other than that good house economically priced.

Had a great week at church view. Plenty of space. Lovely village location and we visited both the pubs which were really welcoming. Our only niggles were minor but the pillows definitely need upgrading and maybe some summer duvets. The garden is a lovely space but just felt it would have been great to have some chairs rather than just the wooden garden benches. We were definitely made to feel welcome and a nice touch with a yummy cake, milk and butter. We would definitely book again.
This property is very spacious and has everything you need for a comfortable stay. We had an issue with the heating but the owner resolved it very quickly and was really helpful throughout our stay there. We ate at the local pub Kings Head and the food was great. There is a good choice of shops in the village too.
The six of us, with three dogs, had a comfortable week at Church View. The two bedrooms at the front have a great view of the church and the estuary beyond. There is a wellequipped kitchen and ample space downstairs. We parked four vehicles in the allocated space. Broughton is big enough to have most of what you could need pubs, a caf, excellent butchers and bakery. We ate at The Kings Head twice, fish and chips recommended. The Blacksmith's Arms in Broughton Mills was great for a celebration meal. The choices for walks from the house might be a bit limited but the southern lakeland and coastal routes are a short drive away.
The house was spacious, warm and comfortable, with everything needed for a party of nine five adults and four children. There was a large, secure garden that was perfect for our three dogs. The house is in a delightful village with friendly people and familyrun shops, and we found plenty of attractions within easy driving distance. Our host, Paul,was very helpful. All in all we had a great holiday.
Judith
Excellent comfortable property with friendly helpful owners that live in the village. Anything that could be improved Some extension plugs would be good in the twin room as the sockets are hidden by the beds but thats all. Everything else was spot on.
Very happy with the property and location. A warm welcome from the owners too.
As a party of 6, plus 3 dogs we all thoroughly enjoyed our week at Church view. Lovely spacious property in a quaint village. Two pubs with 5 mins walk. Great facilities at the house including a washing and drying machine. Very clean throughout. Large enough to accommodate 9 people. Safe enclosed outdoor space for dogs and large garden with lawn. Thank you very much Paul and Ann.
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. ..lovely cottage lovely village,and beautiful walks with the doggies
We have such a lovely stay and the house was lovely. It was the little things that really made it, like the bread, milk and butter that had been left for us. Thanks to the lovely host for this and we hope to come back and stay sometime
Fantastic stay at a beautiful home. We had a fabulous Christmas Thankyou
The cottage was spacious and very comfortable. With a great secure garden for the dogs to roam. Lovely views looking out and walking distance to pubs and shops. The owner was very helpful sharing places of interest and provided a lovely welcome pack. The village is lovely with walks from the doorstep and its well positioned for walks in the area of Eskdale, Coniston and a lovely beach at Silecroft.

A warm welcome on arrival on picking up the keys. A beautiful property in a lovely village. Highly recommended.
We had a lovely stay at Church View and would highly recommend it as a great base for exploring The Lakes, especially if you have dogs. There was plenty of space to park 3 cars, which included an SUV. The garden was lovely and spacious for the dogs and Broughton itself well served by some great pubs.
We had a lovely week in Broughton in Furness, its a friendly village and quiet compared to most of the Lake District. Although its small it has all are all the facilities you need. Would particularly recommend the Square Cafe, the Old Kings Head and the most amazing bakery. Church View is perfect for a family holiday. Paul is a great host and is there instantly if there are any issues, dealing with them immediately. The garden is fantastic for children and dogs. Would highly recommend both the house and the village and hope to revisit in the future.
Ideal house and location for our week's family stay. We thoroughly enjoyed it.
Small issues at the start which were cleared up by Paul, other than that a nice place to stay with your family. the good thing is you can take your dog with you without having to worry about him. great area for touring the south Lakes with lots of walks.
The house was lovely, Paul kindly brought us logs and kindling for the log burner, but the house was so warm we didnt use it. Its a great property for family there were six of us for a couple of days and 4 4 small dogs for the rest of the week. We were greeted with fresh bread, butter, tea and cake from the local bakery which was delicious. The house is in a great location with lovely country views, it was easy to get to the Lakes and the beaches were fabulous for kite flying. The pubs in the village were 5 minutes away as was the bakery, grocery shop and the butchers, with home made pasties, pies cakes etc. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and for us it could only have been improved if the upper garden was more dog secure, we had to keep ours on a leash or they would have escaped. I have recommended this Cottage to friends.

Howard
Lovely cottage in a great little village. 2 good pubs and excellent local shops
We spent the first few days cleaning the property due to the unacceptable standard we found the property in. Very disappointing for the amount of money we paid for the week. The property has a lot of potential if it was clean and the owners were very welcoming, however it doesnt compensate for the sub standard hygiene and cleanliness, you dont and should not be expected to go on holiday and have to clean a property on day 1. Unfortunately we wont be staying here again!
Jennifer
Great welcome from Paul with the additions of bread,milk,butter,cake,gin and tonic. House spacious with some great features. Good heating system, WiFi was ok. Bathroom requires overhaul and some kitchen utensils require replacing. Living room furniture has seen better days Overhaul a good staycation. Vi

Lovely property in a lovely location
Host greeted us and left some very nice provisions for us. House was very comfortable and garden great for the dogs. The town had very good amenities and three good pubs two of which offer a tasty menu. Well worth a visit.
Brilliant location. Close to butchers and pubs. Close to lovely walks. Cottage has a spacious garden and all rooms are a good size. We were greeted by Paul who was a great host and left us with a few essentials to make our stay comfortable on arrival. The cottage was clean and well presented but the sofas could do with a good once over. Overall, Good size cottage, great location, would recommend to anyone.

We felt that the downstairs toilet should have had a lid and functioning seat, bearing in mind the property was fairly expensive to rent and having 2 toilets is a necessity in a property of this size. Much of the kitchen equipment looked like it had been rescued from a skip and needs replacing. Also, before we left we cleaned up and it was clear the property hadn't been properly cleaned in a long time. The location of the property, at the base of a steep hill, meant that there was a lot more road noise than we were expecting, and I would not have got much sleep had I not used ear plugs. On the plus side, the property was larger than expected, nicely decorated and generally in good condition, the location was better than we were expecting, and the sofas and beds were comfortable. We feel that with a bit of love and a bit of effort, this would be a lovely property and our overall experience was positive. Despite the few downsides, we would stay there again.

House is a true home from home, Broughton is a fab place with all you need.
The cottage was very comfortable. The garden was a concern as I had three dogs and it most definitely wasn't fully enclosed. I had to make barricades to stop them getting out. I had contacted you to make sure it was, prior to booking so, as you can imagine, I was deeply disappointed upon arrival. The village was delightful, beautiful walks and fabulous pubs. People we met were so friendly. Not the cleanest cottage we have stayed in and a strong smell of dogs on the sofas. Aside from that, lovely.
Nicola
It was a great village and the house was very nice. But the mattresses were not comfortable in one room and one of us had to sleep on the floor. The shower curtain was also mouldy and there were dog hairs on the sofas and rug. The sofas looked a bit worse for wear too. To be fair, we didn't tell the owner while we were there and when we told her after we left she was very apologetic and said that she would have rectified it all had we told her. I would stay there again but we would need to know that there were new mattresses and new sofas.
We all had great time in the cottage. Plenty of room and enough comfortable sofas and armchairs. Spacious kitchen and bathroom. Downstairs shower room was quite large too. We took two dogs and with large garden there was plenty space for them to run around. Paul the owner met us at the cottage and explain how to use the cooker and central heating. He was so friendly and helpful telling us places to visit. Car park was big enough for four cars. We had three cars and there was still ample space left. Villages extremely friendly .we would go back again.
A wellappointed cottage. Lots of space for the whole family to feel comfortable. Good location. We were able to park 4 cars on site.

The website does not mention that the cottage fronts on to the main road through the village. Not only is the road quite well used and therefore noisy, but there is a give way sign directly outside the cottage instructing traffic to give way to oncoming traffic. This means that vehicles stop directly in view of the windows limiting privacy and that they stop directly opposite the entrance to the parking area beside the house. The entrance is extremely narrow my car's sensors beeped every time we drove in and out and tight especially when turning left off the road. This is not such a problem if no traffic coming from the village has stopped to give way to oncoming cars as you are then able to swing wide to turn left but, when they have, it really limits the turning circle into the driveway, so much so that I scraped the lower part of the passenger door on the left side of my car on a stone that juts out from the bottom of the stone wall that was not visible in the mirrors etc. It was not clear where the onroad parking that is mentioned on the website is. It was a narrow busy road and we would not have risked parking our car there. I would warn any drivers of SUVs or estate cars to think twice before booking the house for this reason.
Angela
The facilities were perfect for bringing four families, with children and dogs, together. Lots of space and comfort. The garden was enjoyed by all
Broughton in Furness is an unspoiled delightful area of the Lake District
