Previous visitors' comments about Shepherds Villa:
The kitchen was perfect all the big pans suitable for making big chilli's, curries etc. Perfect location for the local pubs, shops and beautiful views. Would highly recommend for a group of friends or a family get to together
Mrs Porter, Birmingham, May 2009
We love the Lake District and Coniston is the perfect location for exploring the region. The house was very comfortable. We all loved having a sofa and small table and chairs in the kitchen.
Mr Killmister, High Wycombe, April 2009
A fantastic property - extremely comfortable and homely (brilliant as we had children with us), well equipped, faultlessly clean and the space is wonderful.
Mr Barnes, Chester, April 2009
The property location was great and the size was really good. The property was very clean and the kitchen had all the equipment we needed.
