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”

- Miss Sawford, August 2018
“Lovely accommodation in a quiet part of the Lake District.”

Everything was spotlessly clean and the garden with its wild life was an added bonus. Lots of walks within easy walking reach of the accommodation and I never used the car once during the holiday.

- Mr Noel, July 2018
“Cottage was brilliant great view and location for walks excellent.”

Food shopping in Coniston is very limited but local pub grub is excellent

- Mr Knowles, June 2018
“I realise that it is self catering but all that was supplied was a few dishwasher tablets and two cheap toilet rolls.”

No welcome pack, we have always had one but here not even a pint of milk. There was no hand wash in the bathroom and no bleach for the toilet. There is a washing machine but not even a couple of tablets left for that. A bit of a let down after two jolly good bed and breakfasts and a week in a brilliant apartment in Pittenweem. The cottage itself is lovely and the little garden is perfect and if you want to pack your kitchen sink this is for you.

“Second visit to this property.”

If you like peace & quiet in a rural location, enjoy the great outdoors with walks from the doorstep, then this is a property for you. Clean, modern, well equiped & a comfortable home from home. The wildlife in the garden is very entertaining.

- Mrs Crawford, May 2018

“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.

“Cottage was lovely and cosy and peaceful.”

Fully equipped. Wi-Fi would be good, hopefully will return here.

“Great location for exploring the Lake District, easy to get to most areas.”

Cottage had many extras which were appreciated EG dishwasher tablets, a simple thing you would not think to bring along. Thank You

“As above all fine, maybe worth while erecting a mirror at the road end, as exiting from the cottage lane onto the road is on a blind corner, an accident waiting to happen possibly.”

- Mr Rae, March 2017
“We enjoyed our week in Coniston and found the property very comfortable.”

My criticism would be the lack of extra toilet roll and lack of washing powder. I was unwell and needed both those items. One worrying thing in the bedroom was an electric light over the bed. It isn't working now but is presumably a decoration. Several times,as I sat up in bed the light jabbed me on the temple or ear. I thought it could have been dangerous for someone older than me or a person with limited movement. Apart from that the flat was very nice, and the birds in the garden were just wonderful for two bird enthusiasts ! Stella

- Mrs Skingle, October 2016
“The flat was ideal for two, very comfortable and clean with a picture window onto the small garden, and onward to Coniston Water.”

The location was ideal for us - a footpath starts ten yards down the road leading to the pub (10 minutes), the village (a further 5 - 10 minutes) and the top of the Old Man of Coniston hill (a couple of hours unless you are a fell runner - steep climb). Another footpath takes you to Torver (more pubs and a common), or down to Coniston Water and across to Tam Hows. We had a great week here.

“Wifi would have been a help in planning our days”

“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.

The property

Coniston 0.8 miles.

This immaculately-presented apartment is situated on the ground floor of a semi-detached property in an outstanding location, close to Coniston.

Boasting breathtaking views of the fells and open countryside, including that of the Old Man of Coniston, this delightful property is an ideal base for a couple or solo traveller wishing to visit and explore all that this area has to offer.

Inside this lovely apartment there’s a spacious and comfortable open plan living area with a well-equipped kitchen, dining area and sitting area with a gas coal-effect stove, as well as French windows that open out to the patio, from where you will be able to admire glorious views and birdlife, including woodpeckers.

The patio is a perfect spot for a morning coffee with a paper or map as you decide on the day’s activities, or for unwinding with a glass of wine in the evening, after which a good night’s sleep can be had in the double bedroom.

Coniston has a number of pubs, cafes and shops, as well as its own brewery producing Bluebird Bitter, which is named after the boat that broke the water speed record by Donald Campbell in 1950.

You may wish to decide to take a water cruise on one of the steamers, relax and enjoy the stunning scenery of the fells, or visit Brantwood, the home of John Ruskin, which is on the other side of Coniston Water.

Local hiking and walking is in abundance from the Old Man of Coniston to the surrounding fells of Dow Crag and Yewdale, plus the famous beauty spot of Tarn Hows is close by.

A short drive away from the apartment is Hawkshead, Ambleside, Windermere and Grasmere making this a lovely location for exploring the Lake District National Park and beyond.
