“Cottage nicely located in village, close to amenities.”

Despite being on a main road, noise disturbance was minimal.

Despite being on a main road, noise disturbance was minimal.

- Mrs Spencer, March 2020
“Great location - will book again next year.”

- Mr Dugdale, February 2020
“Very comfortable and an ideal location for the walking sorts.”

Spacious kitchen and very fair amenities, the heating was superb and the shower very good. Rooms very good, however smaller 3rd bedroom with bunk beds not really ideally suited for two grown adults, 6ft plus! Remember this property is advertised as for 6 adults - I would rather rather say 4 adults and two children. With that said we still managed and it wasn’t a real issue. Parking good and off road. Key arrangement excellent. TV excellent. Wi fi excellent. Clean towels supplied and spotless accommodation. One main bathroom however there was also a downstairs loo. All in all a very fair price for a great property and would more than be happy to recommend this cottage to friends and family. Disliked · 3rd bedroom - bunk beds. But as said is still manageable so not really a dislike more than an observation.

“Weekend in Coniston”

This is a very tidy well equipped cottage virtually in the centre of the village. The house is warm & cosy and the beds are comfortable. The only drawback is it says sleeps 6. I would suggest that this would be ok for 4 adults & 2 children, given one of the rooms has bunk beds and only one bathroom, it does not suit 6 adults. The kitchen is also a little small for 6 adults to eat together.

“Wonderful facilities, spotless and cozy.”

- Mr Nicholas, December 2019
“The cottage was cosy and warm and generally clean the only thing I noticed and another adult in our group also commented on was the shower.”

It had mould which could easily have been cleaned off with a spray of bleach. Had I stayed longer I would have done it myself. The shower curtain was the same. Other than that I would highly recommend it.

- Mr Shirvinton, November 2019
“Stayed here many years ago.”

Very comfortable and convenient for all the local facilities. Would definitely like to return again. Many thanks

- Mrs Whittington, June 2019
“We found this a very comfortable property.”

The kitchen was well equipped and fitted out with plenty of room for mealtimes.The tv was good as was the Wi-Fi and cell phone reception.The lounge had 2 large comfotable sofas and the beds were also comfortable.Plenty of towels too. The off road parking at the rear was easily accessible and spacious.The location in the heart of Coniston was ideal for us as all shops,pubs and cafes were only a 5 minute walk away. Also Coniston is a great location for exploring the rest of the Lake District.All in all a very pleasant and happy holiday.

“Pleasant Cottage”

The location in the heart of Coniston is ideal.All shops,pubs and cafes are a 5 minute walk away.Coniston is also great for exploring the rest of the Lake District.The property is well equipped all round with good tv,Wi-Fi and cell phone reception. Also has off road parking at the rear. A repeat visit is planned.

- Ronald N, May 2019
“Lovely location but the accom was rather tired looking seriously needs updating for the price they charge and to say its for 6 adults is a definite stretch 4 maximum apart from that like i said nice location but not worth the price at all .”

- Mrs Turnbull, May 2019

Many thanks for your valuable feedback, we are very disappointed that one of our properties has seemingly let us down and not provided you with the experienced that we had hoped for. Owner relations
“We were well informed about the property before our visit .”

The cottage was clean and comfortable. The property is well situated for local amenities and central for touring around the Lake District.

- Mrs Eastman, April 2019
“Ideal location in Coniston”

- Miss Davis, March 2019
“Have stayed at this cottage 6 times now so obviously we like it.”

New smart TV was a bonus as weather wasn't too kind. Unfortunately bed wasn't very comfortable - kept rolling into middle - and we're certainly not fatties. Also bathroom heater was still broken - not a major problem but the way the wind was it was a bit draughty in there and could have used some heat. In general we had another good stay though

- Gould, March 2019
“When we got to the Cottage they had storage heaters but they only got turned on when we were there, so it was very cold, we did find 2 electric heaters later that evening and an oil heater (which we had been told about).”

The owner did say that 2 of the radiators where not working which isn't nice when the temperatures dropped to -4. The cottage was clean and comfortable. We were told that some fire materials would be available for our first coal fire but when we got there, we had nothing so had to go out and get some which was disappointing because again, it was so cold and having to go back out. Had the storage heaters been put on the night before ready to emit heat for when we arrived the experience would have been a lot more enjoyable from the start

- Ms Mckenna, February 2019
“Great house.”

Couple of minor issues with heater not working in bathroom but we were made aware before we went. Kitchen was fab with everything we could and some! New sofas are comfy. (You should update the pictures on the listing) Good sized property.

- Mrs Shaw, November 2018
“The DVD player doesn’t work as there is no scart connection on the Tv ( discovered when we settled down to watch a film we had brought with us especially) .”

The central heating system seems pretty archaic with no adjustment and could definitely do with an upgrade ( heats in early morning when your going out and cools down in the evening when you want it to provide heat . No where really to air and dry wet clothes comfortably ( needed walking in the autumn lakes weather) this is not helped by the above mentioned central heating .

- Mr Longstaff, November 2018

Thank you for providing your feedback, since your stay we have now had a new heating system put in place. The property now offers a Thermostatically controlled heating system and with radiators in each room, we have now also added heated towel rails in the bathroom and downstairs toilet. Owner relations
“This was my first visit to the Lake District, having travelled the world, and most of the U.”

K. In my 84years. I found the visit amazing, and wonder why I have been so slow in my travels into roaming Cumbria before. I found Barrowdale so beautiful in its bleakness and my dog was in her element.

- Mr Hook, May 2018
“The only issue with the cottage is the appalling hot water pressure.”

The water comes out of the taps in a trickle making washing up great fun and taking a bath impossible.

- Mr Hill, April 2018
“Fantastic!”

The was a great property within easy walking distance to the centre of the village, and the takeaway / chip shop on the corner for rainy nights. The rooms were well furnished comfortable with plenty of built in storage in the bedrooms. There was a large area to park behind the houses but getting back onto the road from between the buildings was quite tight with a blindspot to the main road and the only real downside to the stay.

“warm ,comfortable and everything we needed”

located close to all local amenities and not too far from some nice walks second visit and will probably come again

“3 Low House Cottages, Coniston”

House was in a good location, close to local shops etc Excellent base for all our walking needs We were able to take a dog without extra charge all equipment in the house was good and plenty of everything Excellent value for money Only one downside for a family would be comfortable seating in lounge really only for 4 adults and the house can take 6. Would be ideal for 4 adults and 2 children

- A FlipKey verified reviewer, January 2011
“Holiday with children”

We enjoyed our stay at Low House. The cottage was clean with a good amount of space. One thing that could improve things would be to provide a travel cot and highchair, we had to take ours and it was a squeeze in the car. I think this would put me off booking somewhere that doesn't provide these in future.
