The house is in an excellent location in the village, is well-appointed and the owners are extremely helpful and responsive. We would not hesitate to recommend or stay there again - we had a lovely stay.

A lovely property central to everything in Coniston. Plenty to keep us entertained inside and out. All mod cons. Lovely warm property. Especially helpful with things to do, places to eat and wonderful walks to go on. Will stay again in a heartbeat. Thank you.

Myself and 2 friends rented this property for our annual visit to the lakes. The house was super clean, very well equipped (up-to-date) and tastefully decorated. It's location is fantastic with only a few minutes walk to shops and pubs. There's takeaways in the village if you don't want to eat at the pubs also. There's a dedicated parking space for 1 car and the house has a lovely log burning stove in the kitchen which makes for a lovely warm sitting room after a day walking the fells. The owner was very helpful with suggested walks and places to eat and very responsive to emails and queries. The only thing to note is that the staircase to the 1st floor is very steep so anyone whom is infirm or has difficulty with stairs might struggle. The house was exactly as described/shown on the advertisement and I cannot recommend the house enough for a welcoming place to stay in Coniston as a base. I'd wouldn't hesitate to use the property again when visiting Coniston in the future.

An excellent base for exploring this area of The Lakes. A real home from home, very comfortable, clean & well equipped. However, one of the key reasons we booked this property was for the off road parking & use of the garage to store bikes & kayaks. What we didn’t foresee was the neighbour deciding to not only use the parking space for themselves but to also block the garage door access. Sadly when asked to move the car the neighbour was less than obliging & very rude. We contacted the owner & he did his best to sort it but tbh it soured the end of our holiday.

Very clean accommodation, central to Coniston. Beautiful part of the world, house had everything needed for a relaxing stay.

We were very comfortable in this house in Coniston. It was spotlessly clean, furnished and decorated to a high standard and everything felt new or nearly new. The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen was equipped with everything we needed. The little garden was charming. Unfortunately the weather wasn't good enough for us to spend much time in it. The house is in a quiet side road just a couple of minutes walk from the village centre and about ten down to the lake. Gave 4 stars not 5 for location only because the view from the lounge is the houses across the street. Not a big deal, and obviously you pay more for a view. Brad was very helpful with lots of information about walks and places to eat, and when I couldn't get the heating to turn on (easily fixed). If you like somewhere quiet with lakes and hills on the doorstep this is a lovely place to stay.

A lovely traditional property in a good location. Coniston is a lovely quiet village, away from the crazy busyness of the more tourist areas, yet only 20 minutes from Windermere.I hope we will have the opportunity to stay again.

I 100% recommend this property. Stayed here with my wife, two adult sons and dog for a four day long weekend of hiking in the Coniston fells. The house is immaculate, equipped with everything we needed for cooking and relaxing. The location is great - literally less than 5 minutes to walk to all shops, pubs, cafes . Coniston itself is a great place, not too big or touristy but very picturesque, with the mountains looming above. Did some great hikes - we and our dog in particular especially enjoyed a 16km trek up The Old Man, round to Wetherlam then back down to the Yewtree Inn for a well deserved pint in the sunshine. Communications from Brad and Sue before and during our stay were first class.

Really nice property, good location in the middle of coniston. Perfectly located for hiking and activities. Very clean and tidy with good facilities. good communications from owner.

We couldn’t have wished for anything more, what a great place to stay! The house is beautifully furnished with a well stocked kitchen. The log burner makes for a cosy living room and the bedrooms are spacious and comfy. The location is unrivalled in the centre of coniston just seconds from pubs, shops, restaurants and most importantly beautiful walks on your doorstep. We’ll be looking to return!

We were delighted with the property - it was spotless on arrival with ample space for a family of four (2 adults and 2 teenagers). The lounge was a great place to relax at the end of a long day walking. With the kitchen at the rear and a shower room at the end of the kitchen this made getting clean so much easier and helped to keep the rest of the house mud free (we had rain) and all the more relaxing for it. The top bedroom was very cosy and comfortable giving a good nights sleep. The kids seemed to like their rooms too and this allowed them to have some space to themselves too. Brad and Sue (the owners) have everything covered and provided lots of excellent information before hand on where to eat and drink etc. We had a fantastic meal in the Steam Bistro but you will have to book in advance. We also ate in 3 of the pubs while there - we first visited the Yewdale Inn where the general bar staff were very welcoming and helpful and the food was very good overall. However, we were disappointed by the landlords attitude who ignored our children at the bar when no-one else was waiting and, initially, told us we would have to eat somewhere else because his kitchen would close in 15 minutes. Thankfully his bar staff recovered it for him and checked if the kitchen would be able to take another order. The landlord seemed more intent on imparting his knowledge or fine wine and gins to anyone who would listen rather than looking after customers. Its a nice pub with nice food and staff and would recommend regardless. One to avoid is the Sun Inn - we had a drink in here on the second night and they were very welcoming and we had a great time. As a result we decided to go back and eat there and very much wish we hadn't. The food arrived extremely quickly but with one dish (fish and chips) missing. This didn't arrive without chasing and when it did the fish batter was a pale grey and looked half cooked - which it was. The sun did replace it and offer a drink on the house which recovered some ground for them but the food overall was not up to scratch and lacked a little flavour and imagination compared to: The Black Bull - we stopped in here for a quick drink after a 13 mile hike - the food looked excellent and the fish and chips was superb (several classes above the Ship's offering). The range of beers and ales was also better in here and the whole atmosphere was so much more enjoyable. This was our favourite pub for food and drink

A lovely property with everything that you could possibly need. Thank you for another lovely stay.

My girlfriends and I (five ladies over 40) had a wonderful stay in Coniston, using it as our base to explore the Lake District (albeit briefly) over a few days. The cottage is truly a home from home, and the owners have given great thought to everything in it. We had great communication from the owners leading up to our stay, with suggestions of eateries, walks and what to do in the area. I would thoroughly recommend staying here and would not hesitate in returning in the future.

This was our 2nd time staying here and we enjoyed it even more than our first. Last year in October was great but this time in August was even better as we got to make use of the lovely private garden. The house is lovely, has a very homely feel to it and it was spotless again. It is very well equipped, everything you'd expect as well as maps/books of the area, board games, DVDs and much more. Really would recommend this house and the surrounding village of Coniston. There's some really good pubs, local shops and plenty of walks to do that start on your doorstep. We look forward to coming back again... Hopefully soon!

This 3 bedroom house is the best equipped we've ever stayed in and is in a great location too. Lots of places to eat on your doorstep plus local grocery shops for last minute bits. Coniston lake is within an easy walk too as are lots of walks. I cannot fault the house at all 5 star all the way. The owner messaged us before we arrived with all sorts of useful info.

All mod cons, clean and ready to use. A sack of logs was left for us but the weather was too mild to warrant lighting the wood burner. Would come again so long as the group wasn’t more than 4 - a bit cramped in the dining room.

A lovely house and the perfect base to explore the Lakes

Could not fault the property. Plenty of space for the 4 of us and 1 dog. We would definitely go again and recommend it to others. Clean with up to date fittings but very homely and full of character. Loved the log burner. Previous guests had mentioned the stairs as being steep. They are stairs typically found in Victorian properties, so absolutely no problem to us.

This is the best self catering accommodation we have ever stayed in, because it’s a beautiful home. Stayed for 5 days over Christmas. The home was spotlessly clean, and had lots of lovely little touches, Christmas Tree and lots of lovely decorations, door mat, logs for the fire, hand soap, games, logs for the wood burner, basically everything you need, it felt very thoughtful and extremely homely. The house is very spacious for 6, with lovely rooms, comfortable beds and the best stocked kitchen, which was superb for cooking our Christmas lunch in. Highly recommend the property, Brad and Sue were great, good communication, they gave us tips on the area, and a few walks which we did and really enjoyed. We would love to stay again. Coniston is such a lovely place to stay, especially in the winter, we had some stunning walks and views. Thank you for sharing your home!

A wonder stay in this beautiful property

We booked to stay in this accommodation and expected it to be nice but the photos really don't do it justice. The place has very large rooms, it was very clean, well equipped and in the perfect location. It has a very homely feel, the log burning fire was fantastic and there was a lot of books and maps to help with the local area if you are unfamiliar with it as we were. We can't wait for our next stay here next year in August! David & Jayne - October 2017
