"Unbelievably clean and comfortable cottage."
Very well stocked. Sky TV. Games. Wood for log burner. Lovely, albeit remote, location. Pub a few steps away. Plenty of walking and cycling options from the cottage. Have already recommended the cottage to several friends.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review of your stay and we’re glad you found plenty of outdoor routes to enjoy from the doorstep. We aim to make the house as comfortable and as fully equipped as we can to make our guests’ stay as easy and enjoyable as possible and thanks also for recommending us to your friends - we’re truly humbled and grateful and look forward to welcoming them to Torver too in the future.

"Comfortable house in quiet location with easy access to the hills without using the car."
Short drive into Coniston for all amenities and a good local pub if you don't want to drive.
-
"We loved our stay in this very comfortable, well maintained and warm cottage - first class accommodation."
The owners were very welcoming and it was obvious that they take pride in their property to provide an excellent base for their guests. Great location and easy access to all parts of the Lakes. Would highly recommend.

Great well kept clean property, great access to many parts of the lakes and 100 yards from a lovely pub that does great food

"Absolutely lovely stay at Ash Gill Cottage."
Quality linens, furniture etc which gives a luxury feel to the property. The Wilsons Arms and the Torver Deli are very handy. And walks from the front door on Torver Common are excellent too.
-
"Fabulous property, one of the best we’ve ever stayed in."
Location is perfect for accessing from the south, and for exploring the surrounding area. (And being able to access Coniston Old Man directly from the house was the icing on the cake, such a beautiful walk.) Plenty of parking space. Downstairs rooms are good size, with huge comfortable sofas, and well equipped modern kitchen. Plenty of space for boots and for hanging coats. Bedrooms all very comfortable and spacious. Would definitely stay here again if we return to the Coniston area.

"I don't really want to leave a review as then others will know what a lovely place Ash Gill Cottage is."
The owners have put a lot of thought into what makes an excellent self-catering cottage. It's very well equipped, very comfortable, and extremely homely. Oh, and it was immaculate. 2 little things would be nice, the option to turn one if the twins into a double and a slow cooker to have something ready and warm to come home to after walking in the area. We didn't rate the pub, food was ok, and we thought overpriced and the service was slow but Coniston and Ulverston are only a short drive away for supplies. The location of the cottage is ideal for walks. We are already looking at returning next year.

"Lovely cottage and lovely location."
Had everything we needed. Very clean and comfortable. My only suggestion was some basics in the cupboard such as salt pepper oil sugar. As I wouldn't expect to bring those items.

"Loved the cottage."
Clean, spacious, tasteful and well equipped. Excellent location for exploring the southern lakes. Pub nearby was good for a decent meal or a pre dinner drink. Would recommend.
