This was a great holiday . The house was very clean comfortable and well equipped. Short walk to the lake and short walk to the start of the old man of Coniston. WiFi worked well and was private and park space was a proper space. Coniston was a lovely place with a ton of walks for all levels. Nice views from the back bedroom and it was so quiet even though you were right in the centre of things. Thanks cottage’s who came out in the evening and helped when we got stuck with some of the smart things . Thanks for a great holiday.

The cottage is a lovely cozy little cottage well situated and everything you need provided. A lovely welcome package and Christmas card. On the down side the cleaning could have been better mainly floors. The container for biscuits had some tea bags left in it. The kitchen definitely needs some attention as doors falling off. On saying that we have stayed there before and would stay there again. Just a little TLC 👍🏻

Lovely cottage, well located for all amenities in the village and a short walk to the lake Cottage could do with a clean around the lights as cobwebs on the standard lamp and wall light in the living room. Scissors would be a good addition in the kitchen and unfortunately the logs left had got damp so didn’t light the log burner properly.Even with the above will definitely return
