"The cottage was well equipped to a high standard."
It was situated in an attractive village with two pubs serving food within walking distance. The owners were friendly without being intrusive and ready to suggest amenities worth a visit. We had a thoroughly enjoyable time and this area of the Lake District is less commercialised than other areas yet has some beautiful scenery.

"Fantastic cottage - cosy, comfortable, with everything you need provided - well stocked kitchen, comfy beds, toiletries in the main en suite and mirrors beside plug points for drying your hair (this is my pet hate as so many places don't have this, so extra bonus points from me!"
!). Lovely views from the upstairs lounge. Julie was friendly and helpful, giving us ideas of where to go and what to do. Really appreciated the bottle of fizz and cookies that were left for us as well as the scones and cake brought round on our last night. It's these little extras that make all the difference. Loved the hot tub at the end of the day. If I had to criticise anything, it is the lack of bright lighting over at the sitting area for evening reading. However would highly recommend this cottage.

"We had an amazing stay here."
The owners were fab and clearly really loved and looked after the accommodation. It was ideally located for us. The beds were incredibly comfortable. The house was really clean and so was the hot tub. The owners were very thoughtful and left lots of little treats for us - mini eggs, cookies, Prosecco and some homemade scones and coffee cake! They also had flip flops and gowns available for the the hot tub which was really helpful and an airer to dry off wet costumes/towels. All in all a lovely holiday.

"Had a lovely stay at Coney Garth Retreat."
The retreat itself has been done to a very high standard and is so homely. The hot tub is a lovely added extra, and was nice to use after a long day out. Hosts Julie and Geoff were great, providing information on places to visit and even providing toys to entertain the kids on rainy days, not to mention the amazing homemade treats, its no wonder people come back again.

"Julie and Geoff Nugent were very helpful and ensured we were happy with everything on our arrival on during our stay."
They were both very informative of what was around the area to do and visit. Geoff took us around the luxury retreat on arrival, explaining everything we needed to know. The situation of the retreat is very peaceful, beautifully kept and the village itself was ideal for walks and for a visit to the Royal Oak pub for lunch/drinks is highly recommended. The hot tub was a lovely bonus which was checked on a daily basis. The nice touches of the prosecco, biscuits and home made scones was really appreciated and the scones were delicious. I would definitely recommend the retreat to anyone as it is definitely a luxury escape from real life!

"A fabulous cottage with everything you need for a comfortable stay."
Julie is a lovely host - freshly baked scones, with jam and cream, delivered on a very wet day lifted everyone’s mood! The Royal Oak in the village serves superb food. Recommend paddle boarding on Wastwater and a trip to Go Ape Whinlatter if you’re with teenagers/young adults. Seascale is lovely and has a fabulous ice cream shop too. Coney Garth is a great base to explore the West Lakes from.

"Wow! What a fabulous place!"
The accommodation was amazing, decorated to the highest of standards with all the luxuries you could possibly want! The local area is beautiful and quiet, we loved taking the cycle routes to Seascale for beach days and ice cream and to Gosforth for some yummy Italian food! Wast Water was incredible, one of my favourite days! The Ravenglass railway and Muncaster Castle are close by for and well worth a visit! At the end of busy days we came back to the cottage to relax in the hot tub and enjoy the fizz and other treats left by Geoff and Julie; fantastic hosts with great local knowledge and ideas about how you can spend your holiday! We’d waited so long for this holiday and it was definitely worth the wait! I don’t think I’ve ever felt so relaxed and refreshed! We cannot wait to come back! Xxxx
