“The cottage is beautifully situated, with Coniston Water partially visible from the cottage.”

Behind the cottage is a large field and it had a herd of cows and calves in it. In the evening they tended to be further up the field but in the morning right outside our window.

“The holiday home was perfect and ideally suited for a short walk into Coniston or for walks off the doorstep without need for using the car.”

The home itself kitted out very well, super clean and very cozy. Already thinking of booking again
Ms Thomas August 2019

“Very lovely location and everything was comfortable and convenient.”

Not having WiFi was a bit of a problem for longer stays as these devices need updating which requires a WiFi connection overnight where they can be plugged in. Not sure the towel heater is working but having a dish and clothes and washer/dryer was wonderful. I loved the privacy and quiet!
Mr White August 2019

“The surrounding scenery and the garden was lovely.”

The accommodation was lovely and clean. We were disappointed with the bed, which was very hard and uncomfortable. There were no hooks behind the bedroom door to hang dressing gowns. And as we are in our 60's we found getting out of the bath after a shower very slippy, no rubber mat in the bath and no grab handle to help.
Mrs Gerrard July 2019

“This was our second visit to this apartment in Coniston.”

The apartment is in a stunning location with views over the lake. We particularly enjoyed watching the numerous birds including woodpeckers that visited the feeders each day. The apartment is clean and comfortable and has everything that you need for a great stay.
Mr Hammond July 2019

“The joy of waking up in the morning to birds and sheep when its usually road traffic and trains was wonderful.”

The cottage was so well equipped and the location was fantastic for visiting the rest of the lake district. We loved sitting in the garden in the early evening watching a multitude of birds feeding. This was a perfect week for us.
Mrs Jubb July 2019

“Nice location.”

Clean and comfortable cottage and very peaceful. Pretty central to main places within lake district. Beautiful scenery.
Mr Mcteer August 2018

“I think the cottage was great - my only criticism is the bed being very small and for us for this reason it felt a bit uncomfortable.”

But loved the cottage decor and kitchen/bathroom had absolutely everything you needed. The garden is a real bonus- beautiful and with views of the lake. Paths to Coniston from the property not walkable due to accessibility (if you either were wheelchair user or have a pram it’s a no no)- so a point could be made but it doesn’t claim to be a family property so i suppose it’s up to us to ask those questions next time. Overall I would definitely recommend it to a couple wanting a stay in the lakes.

“Would be great next time to have extra towels but apart from that perfect”

“Fantastic cottage”

Lovely well equipped one bedroom apartment. Between Coniston and Torver overlooking the lake. Very nice to have sheep grazing in adjoining field and an abundance of lovely garden birds feeding on bird feeder and occasional rabbit visitor. Well provided for cottage with washing machine and dishwasher, plus TV with freeview and DVD player. Nice selection of DVD's, plus various guides and maps for locality. Bed very comfortable. Will definitely book again.

“Lovely views”

We had a lovely stay last week in this cottage. It was very clean with all the necessities you needed. comfy bed although a little squeaky , warm as toast. The view across the valley was good but the best view were the little blue tits and the resident woodpecker just out side the patio doors. So many of then flying around all day. The only crit was that we could only stay 5 night and even though we are not in high season we had to pay for the full week which would stop us using it again next year . Sykes gave a quote for a shorter period but when we came to book they said it was a booking error and we had to pay the full price. After looking at so many properties we couldn't be bothered to start looking again. But as far as the accommodation, garden and cleanliness it couldn't be faulted.
