These cottages are a relic of the bygone era of iron ore mining in Southern Lakeland, locally referred to as the "Treacle Mines". Built of the same local sandstone as many imposing buildings in the area, the cottages have been tastefully converted, whilst retaining many of the original features.
The properties are situated on the owners small, working farm - conveniently located "off the tourist trail" in a pleasant hamlet between Morecambe Bay and the Duddon Estuary. It is the ideal location for those seeking a peaceful retreat, with many places of interest including wildlife and nature reserves, yet still within easy reach of the traditional Lake District.
A welcome tray with homemade cakes is provided on your arrival.
