Thornthwaite Farm  

Set in the Woodland Valley just outside Broughton-in-Furness, Thornthwaite Farm sits about 3 km from the town centre and 13 miles from Lake Windermere. The farm lies within a Site of Special Scientific Interest and Special Area of Conservation, surrounded by 150 acres of ancient woodland and sweeping Lakeland fell views. Nearby highlights include Bowness-on-Windermere (20 miles), Sizergh Castle (25 miles) and Go Ape at Broughton-in-Furness (14 miles).

Cottage-style accommodation with views of the Lakeland Fells and simple, comfortable interiors. Each cottage has a fully equipped kitchen (dishwasher, oven, microwave, fridge, toaster, tea/coffee), flat-screen TV and bed linen; some units add a separate seating and dining area. The estate features lowland flower meadows, rocky outcrops, streams and rare orchids and mosses—perfect for walkers, cyclists and wildlife watchers. Wake up to fell views and take advantage of on-site trout fishing or river-bank angling.

On-site restaurant serving local cuisine and a barbecue area for relaxed al fresco evenings. Explore 150 acres of woodland, enjoy the farm’s private trout fishing lake, and spot badgers, fox cubs or barn owls at dusk. Free private parking, elevator access for guests with reduced mobility, and property-wide free Wi‑Fi keep stays easy and connected.

Free Wi‑Fi and free private parking — handy for guests needing to stay connected while on the move.

Taste local cuisine in the on-site restaurant, then fire up the BBQ for a laid-back meal outdoors. The farm’s menu and nearby villages bring authentic Lakeland flavors after a day on the fells.
