• "Fabulous we loved it!"

  Location is really great, facilities are great. Took us a day or two to work out the parking but once you are used to it you can get 4 cars on the front and a transit at the back. It’s literally 5 mins walk from the lake great for a wild swim before breakfast! Kids loved the table tennis in the cellar, it was like a ‘den’ for them.

  Thank you for a great review! Property Owner

• "Great house in a wonderful location."

  We were 3 generations of family (7 adults, 3 children and 2 dogs) celebrating an 80th birthday and this was perfect. Comfortable bedrooms, the kitchen was really well supplied for self-catering and a nice big dining table. Seating area in kitchen could be a bit cosier (we spent more time there than the proper sitting room), but that’s a small niggle as the property worked so well. Great location in Consiton village and an easy walk to the lake. Nice little play area opposite too. Would definitely recommend.

  Thank you for your review, much appreciated Property Owner

• "Really lovely house in the heart of gorgeous Coniston and we had a fantastic weekend celebrating our sons 21st with family."

  There was something for everyone in the area from a potter round the village to the Coniston Round. The beds are very comfortable, bathrooms were clean. Loved the top bathroom! The kitchen was a little tired but we had everything we needed. The owners were very friendly and responsive. Thank you for a great stay.

  Thank you for your review. Much appreciated! Property Owner

• "Generally great house and location for a large group."

  It would not take much to improve the ratings - making sure all bedrooms have litter bins and all bathrooms bath mats for example. The quality of bed linen and towels was very good and the beds are comfortable. However, en suites and bathrooms could receive a bit of TLC (refurbishment) and the bathroom on the second floor needs to be finished. The kitchen and catering provision does let the side down. If you are cooking for 14 then you need cookware of an appropriate size and quality - that was lacking. You don't want pots with flaking teflon! The cooker is inefficient and really rather annoying. You also need space / surfaces when catering for a large group. A table in the dining room to lay out food would be a good addition. More of everything and better quality is the order of the day. It's a 3.5 out of 5 from us.

  I think that’s a Harsh score, worst since we started 3 years ago and the house has never been better equipped. We are taking on some of the criticism but this is a 174 year old house which for most is its charm. Our phone number is provided in the house for anything the guests might struggle with. I’m sure you noticed the big improvements we have made and continue to make as we go. Property Owner

• "The house was ideal for our group of 10 walkers - comfy beds and pillows as well as roomy bathrobes, plenty of hot water, a very large fridge."

  The big sunny dining room was perfect for planning walks and lingering over dinner. The quiet location is a great starting point for many local walks as well as a boat trip across the lake to Brantwood.

  Thank you your a lovely review, we hope to welcome you again sometime. Property Owner

• "We had an amazing stay at Waverley!"

  The house was perfectly located right by Coniston lake and town, which is arguably now my favourite place to stay in the Lake District. Nearby was a local co-op for groceries, a petrol station and a handful of pubs to stop by and grab food or a pint. Waverley itself had plenty of rooms for our group, and had all the basic amenities we needed for a long weekend. The kitchen was well stocked with equipment, dishes, cutlery and even a dish washer. The house was ideal for our big group and our friend’s dog, who absolutely loved the space outside. It was beautifully furnished with big mirrors, had a modern feel, was cosy and I would recommend it for anyone wanting a home away from home!

  Thank you for your lovely review Property Owner

• "The property is located very close to Coniston lake in a great neighbourhood."

  We found it very clean but kitchen was very poorly equipped. We couldn’t work the induction hob because there were no compatible pots/pans. Had to rely on only two electric points for cooking for 15 people. The property had no bin bags/kitchen rolls etc.

  Hi, thank you for your honest review. We are sorry you couldn’t find the induction pans and pots, they are there I promise, our mobile numbers are provided if there are any issues. We have taken on new cleaners which also restock the house ready for the next guests and it’s unfortunate if this didn’t meet your expectations. We will go through the kitchen supplies personally and make sure everything within reason is present. We hope you enjoyed the complimentary extras which we don’t advertise. Property Owner
