"Lovely cottage in a great location."
Mattress was uncomfortable but that was only problem. Would definitely stay again. All the information the owner left in the cottage about the area and the history of the buildings we were in was very interesting and informative.
Im glad you enjoyed your stay. This is the first complaint i have had about the mattress. It is 2 years old now, i will ask other guests on their opinion, as i know different people have different opinions on the comfort of a mattress, but thankyou for bringing it to my attention.
Kind regards

"Very beautiful cottage, clean and tidy."
Well thought out layout. Well equipped and large kitchen. Fabulous bathroom and a lovely big bedroom. Quite often cottages for two are very compact but this was perfect. Great location for walking from the door. Off road parking was a bonus as we never use the car when we’re visiting the Lake District , so it was nice to know it was in a safe place. All in all 10/10, one of the best cottages we’ve stayed in for a while. Highly recommend.

It is difficult to turn out of the cottage in your car, as you can’t see what is coming, so it would be great to have a mirror attached somewhere, so it makes it easier to see what is coming.
The cottage is clean, well stocked and has a great king size bed, which is very comfortable! Peaceful and a very happy place.

"The property is a lovely little end cottage on the main road into Coniston."
The road can be busy as the property is near the centre of the village but as such is very convenient for access to the centre. The property itself is perfect for two people (and a dog in our case). All the floors downstairs are hard and easy to clean when you come in from a rainy walk. The lounge is cosy and the kitchen is of a good standard. There were enough utensils. Upstairs feels warmer and is carpeted. The large bed is nice and reasonably comfortable and the bathroom facilities are great. It was nice to have some logs for the fire but there could have been some extra kindling. We received a small package of goodies which was a nice surprise. All in all we really enjoyed our stay and the property was just right for us. The location was perfect for us as it allowed easy access to the village and walks in the area, but it can be quiet busy at times. We did have an issue with a lose tap and radiator, but the owner was easy to contact and sorted it. We would definitely recommend this property and definitely stay there again.

"We just loved this cottage, welcoming, homely, everything we needed was there."
The owners little touches, like our welcome gifts were beautiful. The enclosed garden was ideal for our little Westie, the parking is great, off road and at the rear of cottage. Loved the fact there was a big shower but also separate bath, the bedroom is big and plenty of room to put our laugage, the location is good, although on the road, but this didn’t seem to worry us, as a few minutes walk and you are in the centre of village with, pubs, shops and bus stop and some beautiful walks. The view from the rear of the cottage is stunning. We stayed for Christmas and we enjoyed our Christmas Eve walk to come back to the cottage, lite the fire and drunk the mulled wine, just one of the gifts the owner left for us, our little westie(Otto) also made himself at home, so a big thankyou to the owner for making our Christmas a memorable one. There were only 3 things that I would like to see at the cottage, 1. An outside tap, to wash our boots and to wash the dog down, we managed with a bowl of water, just didn’t want to bring any mud in the cottage. 2. A bigger maybe microfibre back door mat to absorb wet coming in from outside. 3. A new kitchen rubbish bin as the one there the lid wasn’t working properly, but these are only things that we felt were needed. We will be sure to book again, can’t wait to come back. Thank you.

The cottage is clean and homely. There are beautiful views of Old Man Coniston from the garden and it was a secure space for our young dog. Kitchen and bathroom are both high quality. Just a short walk to the village but be aware that it’s on the main road so you do get a bit of traffic noise in the cottage and need to walk on the road for a short distance. Coniston is very dog friendly and the cafes and pubs were very welcoming.

"Overall it is a lovely cottage in a perfect location close to some basic amenities."
However the mattress on the bed is awful you can feel the springs. Also poor quality duvet and pillows. Did not have the best nights sleep. Also the placemats were dirty. However close to amenities and the beautiful Coniston Lake. Lots of amazing local walks including the Old Man if your up for a challenge. Kitchen had all the things you could want. Parking an added bonus and a must with it being so busy at the moment. Having a lovely treat arrival welcome box was a lovely little touch. Just needs that mattress sorting.
Thank you very much for your feedback. We are pleased to confirm that the mattress has been replaced.
