Local Attractions
The majestic Duddon Valley is an explorer's paradise and the best part there's no crowds (shhh)! Walking, biking, swimming, it's all here.

The drive through the Duddon Valley and over the Wrynose Pass is certainly not to be missed during your time in the area, it offers amazing views across the southern Lake District from one of the most spectacular mountain roads in the UK.

From Seathwaite visitors can visit the Memorial Bridge and stepping stones near the Newfield Inn. Seathwaite Tarn also is nearby, where fly fishing is available with a permit available from the inn. The village of Ulpha and its riverside setting is a favourite amongst locals and visitors during the warmer months. Over 300m of grassy riverside allow those who visit a chance to picnic, relax and wild swim in the various pools and shallows of the river.

The largest town in the area, Broughton-in-Furness dates back to the 11th Century and is situated to the south west of the Coniston Fells making it a great base to explore some of the quieter and most beautiful parts of the Lake District. Just a couple of miles from the village is the small hamlet of Broughton Mills and the highly acclaimed Blacksmith's Inn that offers great local food and beer.

the cottage is located on a working farm in a very nice location. The farmer is very friendly and a bottle of wine and some milk were provided. The accommodation is excellent and we will return.

The cottage was lovely and great value for money. The experience of checking in and out was easy and it was warm and cosy. The farmer was friendly and the cottage was a great spot for us in The Lakes.

We had the most wonderful stay in this cottage. It has all the essentials you need and the amazing added bonus of a wood-burner! The cottage is a real gem surrounded by the rugged beauty of the Lake District! Ullswater and Derwentwater are a must visit during your stay. Can't recommend this place highly enough. The owner was an amazing host and we got to enjoy being on a working farm with the occasional sheep sprinting around!

Tarn Foot Cottage is super and has everything needed for an 'away from it all' holiday in the rural Lake District. The location is amazing, being surrounded by fells and farmland. The cottage has a traditional feel and is well-appointed with everything needed for a comfortable stay. It was lovely to be welcomed by a bottle of wine and fresh flowers - very much appreciated.

Lovely cottage, very clean, well set out and comfortable and in a great location - wonderful walks on the doorstep. We loved being in the middle of the valley and the views were great. This was a good "get-away-from-it-all" holiday, thank you for the welcome wine, flowers and pint of milk too.

Very happy with our stay. The cottage is in a very picturesque area and we enjoyed going out for walks in the surrounding hillsides. The owner was very welcoming and a pleasure to talk to about the surrounding area plus sheep farming in the hills.

We really enjoyed our break here. The location is lovely, perfect for us as we like remote and isolated. The farmer owner really enhanced our stay, he was very friendly and helpful and happy to share his obvious pleasure in his farm by answering my endless questions!

Tarn foot cottage is a gem and the most delightful place to stay. The road in is awesome, (please bring supplies it's very remote).We were so happy with this place, the sounds of the working farm are a joy but not intrusive, wildlife in abundance, my camera is worn out, but it's also so quiet and peaceful. Through the week we basically had the farm to ourselves. Walks are amazing from every direction. Our ageing German Shepherd Ozzy was in his element. We came here to give him a fantastic holiday and he did, as did we too. We are definitely coming back. The owners of the farm were more than helpful and very friendly lovely couple. The cottage is so full of character, I could go on for ever about this wonderful place. Please come and find out for yourselves it's such a fantastic place, its perfection. I'm missing it so much.

We stayed at Tarn Foot Cottage on a working farm at the head of the Duddon Valley. The cottage was comfortable and had everything we could possible need. The enclosed area round the cottage was ideal as we have two dogs and could happily let them wander in and out without worrying that they would escape. The views of the surrounding area are stunning and there are some excellent walks from the front door. I would certainly recommend this cottage.

This place is fantastic. If you want to escape the whole world then come here. Will we be back? Yep. We are actually still here as I type this review, so you know the wifi works. Two regrets, first we have to leave a day early due to some family news, second central heating works so good we didn't get to fire up the log burner. Everything works well. It is out of the way so it means country roads for at least 6 miles to get to it. Punch in postcode on sat Nav and it will take you straight to the farm. It is a working farm so if you don't like the sound of cows or bleating lambs (who wouldn't my wife had to pick one up to move it off the lane, bless) then this is maybe not for you. We have two dogs and you will have a secure yard both front and back of the cottage. Room to easily park two estate cars. 10 out of 10.
