Well where do i start.
The most lovely of setting. In a quite area but close to so many places that are a must to see in the wonderful Lakes. I have looked back over many other reviews and it is very obvious that no one takes any notice what guest are telling you. Some of the issues i had other guest had back in 2016. The cottage is great for a base but you do need to address the fact it needs an update. The settee is very uncomfortable so much so i sat on the floor. You need to put the tiny TV back into the dolls house and get a decent size one. It was clean enough but i can see why other guest have complained. You really do need to put a mirror at the end of your drive it is not safe pulling out onto the road. The walled garden was a real treat, thank god i could use it as the whole week was completely ruined due to the fact the whole of the complex was hired out to a film company filming a Bollywood Film. I did not need an alarm clock as i was woken up at 6am every morning and again gone 11pm, I know the owner spoke to them but with around 30 people staying there there was no way it was going to be a good break. The smell from the chefs cooking was not good, filling the cottage all day, every day. There were black bags of food open in the yard and being enjoyed each day by the wildlife. I did get a part refund but still came home very stressed. You have one hell of a gem if you could only made the most of it. It was a bonus that the sun was out all week so i could go out as much as possible. Sykes sorry being told my only option was take the refund and go home was not really what i wanted to hear. This holiday was booked for a year. The film crew booked a few weeks.

The cottage was ideally placed being on the outskirts of Coniston but only 5 minutes walk from the shops, cafes and pubs.
It was a welcome bonus having off-road parking at the back of the property (not one but two designated spaces). The cottage itself has been beautifully refurbished and is spacious but very cosy. I love the little touches like the curtain tie-backs and the pretty cushions on the bedroom window seats. The kitchen has everything you need and the cooker was very straightforward and simple to use! Overall the bedrooms were well fitted with plenty of storage but I feel the mattress on the 5ft 'sleigh' bed may be near the end of its life as there was very little spring to it and not the most comfortable. The bathrooms were amazing. What a joy to have 2 big bathrooms, each with a large, walk-in shower AND a bath. Lovely to have plenty of space to move around unlike many en suite bathrooms which have been squeezed into a corner of the bedroom so they can tick a box saying "en suite"! A holder\shelf would be useful in the shower in the black and white bathroom for shampoo, soap etc. Sadly, visiting in March when the weather was very mixed, we didn't have the opportunity of sitting outside on the patio but I imagine it would be fabulous to relax with a drink and take in the views of the Old Man of Coniston just yards away. The pubs in the village all served good food but our favourite was the Crown Inn where the food was great and the staff were so friendly and welcoming. It was an easy drive to Ambleside, Hawkshead and Windermere and a little further to Keswick, our favourite town. Our first visit to The Lakes and I'm sure it won't be the last. Thank you.

We had a lovely stay except for the last night when we did not get to sleep until past 4 am.
I think it would be worth informing future guests that the cottage is one small part of a larger development which is set up for large groups. The place was ideal for us & our very nervous rescue dog until the Friday. On the Friday groups of men began to arrive throughout the afternoon & evening until there were 25+. A huge amount of alcohol was piled up on a table in the quad outside our back window & some of the men began to drink on arrival. They used the large barn for their entertainment and were continually on the move between the big house & the barn all night. Being 2 women in this sort of situation was unsettling as we are aware a large number of men together with huge amounts of alcohol can be unpleasant. As it turned out the men did not bother us ( we had drawn all the curtains & locked the door) but we were on high alert all evening as the noise level & movement grew and it spoiled our last evening. I think it is important that guests are informed about issues like this before they book. Had we known that a large male only group was booked in we would not have stayed & it has certainly put us off going back there again. I hope you understand our issue with this. We did not feel safe & although the men were simply enjoying themselves we were on edge.

Holly Tree Cottage is fabulous!
! The cottage is decorated and furnished to a high standard! It had everything you need for a mini break. Cosy living room and open fire, making evenings relaxing and comfortable. We enjoy cottage breaks; the beds, pillows and bedding ensured comfort and a good sleep unlike many weâve stayed in. The two bedrooms with full size bathroom en-suites - incredible!!! Our grown up son loved the bath in his bathroom with views of the Coniston fells!!!! The towels were luxurious too!! The garden and view from the back of the house was breathtaking!! 2 brilliant car parking spaces with good access! The front was also charming and just a couple of minutes from the small high street in Coniston!! We found our stay peaceful and relaxing which we really needed at this timeâºï¸ There are loads of pubs in Coniston for great meals and little gift shops too! We recommend the Coniston Inn which is a pleasant 20 minute walk from the cottage!! From the cottage you can drive to so many of the lakeâs spectacular places or just enjoy Coniston which is our favourite place in the Lakes! Recommend the Holly Tree to small families or 4 grown ups; 10 out of 10. Thank you to the owners, weâll definitely be back and thanks for the yummy welcome boxâºï¸

Stinks of dog pee, musty smell also, even in cupboards.
2 inches of hot water per day - nowhere near sufficient. No point having a roll top bath if you canât fill it!! Owner has been informed about this by others and itâs still the same. At £126 approx per night, thatâs a disgrace. Bee/wasp nest in chimney stack outside cottage. Furniture was dated, carpets were a disgrace. You wouldnât go barefoot or just socks downstairs. Wouldâve been much more practical to have wooden/tiled floor. Weâve stayed in many, many dog friendly places and this is the worst accommodation weâve encountered. Even the basic dog friendly travel lodges are better than this. The walled garden was lovely but outside there were a lot of dirty spaces, behind the wood shed were used bottle tops. At the side of the barn next to campfire weâre discarded alcohol bottles/cans. The staff were very friendly. Area was lovely, accommodation not. Tried phoning owner on day of arrival but went to voicemail which he says he never got. We left a day early as we were not using the property except for sleeping in. Waste of money. Dreadful shame as there was to be a wedding there later in the week and the whole venue had been booked. Hope they donât need to wash!!!
