Extra Amenities

Situated on a working dairy farm in the village of Bigrigg between the Western Lake District Coast and the Lake District National Park, Springfield Farm Cottages provide a peaceful retreat and a great base from which to explore the surrounding area. The cottages give you the best of both worlds. Whether you’re looking for a coastal retreat or a holiday full of action packed adventure, the properties tick all the boxes. They enjoy spectacular views over the adjoining land, and you can wake to see cows grazing in the fields, and there’s no traffic or noise to disturb you other than the birds in the trees and the occasional ‘moo’. Both are well equipped to offer all your home comforts and have been tastefully decorated and thoughtfully furnished throughout with guest experience in mind. You can easily walk into the village for the local shops or perhaps a quick pint!
