“We had a wonderful week.”

Our hosts were welcoming and their cottage incredibly well equipped.

Our hosts were welcoming and their cottage incredibly well equipped.

- Mrs Bennett, July 2021
Ms Cunningham July 2021

“We stayed at Underwood at beginning of July 2021.”

We chose the house carefully as we needed ground floor accommodation with at least 2 en-suite bedrooms - one for my elderly Mum with mobility difficulties. It was perfect! Second bedroom with compact shower and toilet - so easy for someone with limited mobility as she could hang on to something at all times. She enjoyed having access to the Conservatory from her room (small step down). There is one heck of a slope to get to the house - but as you can park one car right outside the front door - my Mum managed fine. This isn't a chic modern, glossy place - more homely and charming. The photos are very accurate. But everywhere was clean, tidy and well maintained.

Dr Harley June 2021

“The cottage was a good size for 5 adults, infant and baby and had every facility we could think of, including the hot tub of which we made ample use, even though it would not have been a reason for choosing a place to stay.”

We were impressed by the quality of everything. These were not owners who thought anything would do for their guests. The place had an air of being looked after and cared for and this made it feel more like a home. rather than holiday let.. Its location overlooking Coniston Lake is enviable and the view from the sitting room window stunning, enough to lift anyone's spirits even on the most inclement of days.

Mrs Snee August 2020

“Underwood is a fantastic cottage.”

Very well equipped and ideally situated. Owners on hand if needed but not intrusive. If I had to find a criticism it would be that the whirlpool bath has been replaced with a shower. Hot tun fab. Would highly recommend this holiday cottage.

Mr Hill December 2019

“Beautiful cottage - just outside Torver Well appointed - very kind hosts who couldn’t do enough to make sure our stay was special.”

The Elf on the shelf was a nice touch - and our 7 year old twins enjoyed the complimentary biscuits The highlight for them was the hot-tub just outside the heated conservatory - and the spare towels were a welcome surprise The cottage made a nice break very special.

- Mr Hill, December 2019

Mrs Barker May 2019

“We had a super time and Helen & Allan looked after us very well - just one small point we have used Sykes a number of times and this is due to the accuracy of the listings - however on this occasion we did feel the photos made the house look a lot bigger than it was - especially the outside area which is important when you have children.”

- Mrs Barker, May 2019

Thank you very much for your feed back, We are pleased you enjoyed your stay I have had Sykes out to re take all my photos and have asked them to show the outside space, Thank you Thank you Owner relations

Mrs Wiggins November 2018

“We had an excellent long weekend at Underwood with 3 generations of family celebrating a diamond wedding anniversary.”

It was good that all the bedrooms were ensuite and that it was mostly on one level ,only the conservatory had steps .it was well equipped, very clean and comfortable . It would have been nice if the heating had been on for our arrival as it was cold that day but it did warm up when we lit the fire and boosted the central heating . Overall it was a good few days and I have no qualms about recommending this cottage .

- Mrs Wiggins, November 2018

Mrs Pollard July 2018

“We enjoyed our stay in this clean, comfortable and well-equipped cottage.”

The views are spectacular and the hot tub was a very relaxing place to be at the end of a busy day. The helpful owners live next door and came quickly if we needed anything but otherwise left us to enjoy our time at the property. Our dog was welcomed, settled down quickly, and enjoyed her walks along the safe path across the road. We had plenty of good quality towels and good quality linen on our very comfortable beds. A very enjoyable week.

A great base to explore the surrounding areas.

“Location was great for all activities planned.”

accommodation was exactly as described. Hot Tub was used nearly every day we were there. Hosts (Helen & Alan) extremely pleasant & not intrusive. We would recommend & re-book another week @Underwood

- Mr Hunt, October 2016
Rev Greaves September 2016

“The cottage was far better than expected.”

It' s location was excellent for many walks and only over a mile from Coniston lake. The cottage itself was decorated to a very high standard and had everything you may need including a jacuzzi, which was ideal after long walks. The cottage had a lovely feel to it and it certainly made us relax and settle into our holiday. Some may feel that an intermittent broadband would be a problem, but not for us that was part of the appeal to be away from all those emails. Besides BT wifi was available through their hotspot sites so if we did have withdrawals that was always an option. Though to be honest just looking out of the window at the stunning views was all that you needed. Helen and Alan the owners were very friendly and welcoming.

- Rev Greaves, September 2016
Mrs Parker August 2016

“There was so much to do so we'll be coming back again!”

- Mrs Parker, August 2016
