Cedar Wood Coniston

A very well equipped house with fabulous views of the lake from the garden.

Beautiful cottage, inside and out.

A perfect home from home.

Cedar Wood is a fabulous place, the views are wonderful and stunning, the location perfect, total peace.

All the rooms are spacious, very well laid out and the facilities are 5 Star. The perfect place to hide away or go enjoy the amazing Lake District. I have used Lake Lovers for many years and this has to be one of the best homes I have stayed in We really did not want to go home. Thank you Kevin and Brygida

The property was extremely comfortable, well maintained and very clean.

The photographs do not do justice to the property and the view over Coniston Lake was breathtaking. We chose Cedar Wood because of its central location giving easy access to Windermere, Langdale and the Northern Lakes. The Ship Inn, located a short walk from the house served excellent food and local beers and we visited it twice during our stay. Coniston Lake is also easily accessible via a road 100 yards from the property. Definately one of the best Cottages we’ve stayed in thro’ Kakelovers and one I am sure we will visit again.

We had a great week in Coniston.

The house exceeded our expectations from its location to its facilities. Everything you need is there and it was warm and clean. We walked down to the lake every day in the early evening and watched the antics of the Herdwick sheep. The views from the house are splendid, would love to return.

Cedar Wood did not disappoint- an extremely comfortable and well equipped home, amazing views, and a great location.

Having stayed in many locations around the Lake District over the years, this is definitely one of favourites and we hope to return.

Amazing, we didn't want to leave.

A spacious well equipped house in a great area. It had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. The views from the house and garden are lovely.

Comfortable house, immaculately clean and modern with stunning views.

Well equipped kitchen, tea towels etc and welcome pack (coffee etc) were a thoughtful touch. Nice hand wash and lotion in bathrooms. Gardens were well tended and had plenty of seating for beautiful lake views. We enjoyed our stay.

WOW….

what an amazing property in a wonderful location. Absolutely stunning. We were 4 adults and a dog and everyone was catered for. The view from every window was stunning. The kitchen has everything you need. Sat on the terrace with a cuppa in the winter sunshine I will miss. It’s only a short walk into coniston and a selection of great pubs all dog friendly. The Ship Inn is on the way and definitely worth popping in for drink and food. Would not hesitate in recommending. Hope to return.

We’re just back from an absolutely lovely stay at Cedar Wood Coniston.

The house is lovely, warm and comfortable and very spacious for us, Mum, Dad and our son and daughter and their partners. Perfect for our post Christmas/New Year get together. The kitchen is well equipped with everything needed in a home, even a coffee machine which we did use and we left a box of pods for the next occupants! Sitting room was comfy for us all with ample seating and fantastic views across Coniston water. The bedrooms were lovely and beds were comfortable for us all. It was so peaceful too, even the sheep, who greeted us every morning, were quiet! We had our little dog with us too and she enjoyed the under floor heating! The decor and furnishings are all trendy and lovely quality. We enjoyed the walks to town both along the road and the scenic route through the fields and along the lakeside. There was only one pub open, the Crown Inn which we can highly recommend, good food and friendly staff. The Ship Inn which is nearer to the house was also fab. (The other pubs in the village were shut for January) also had fish and chips and they were very nice too. When we had a question for the home owner, Steve answered us promptly, which was very reassuring. We all had a fabulous stay and would love to return one day!

Beautiful location, the view is amazing.

The house has high quality fixtures and fittings. Considering the weekly cost of rental there was no special welcome to the property or area. Other properties we have used went to the effort of providing some local treats! The small commercial pack provided was not even enough for 6 people! Disappointed to find blood and other stains on the duvet and mattress cover when stripping the bed we had slept in all week prior to our departure! There is no excuse for this. Overall this didn’t detract from having a lovely holiday in the Lake District.

Cedar Wood is a fantastic property with stuuning views set in a great location to enable you to explore Coniston and the surrounding areas.

Being able to look down onto the lake from the living room and garden was a treat and a great way to get away from it all! I will be back.

Property was great and as advertised.

Was clean and well prepared. We loved the proximity to walks for the dog, the lake, the Ship which had good quality pub food to save driving out all the time. Thank you.

Quite simply a stunning property.

Perfectly clean. Concise instructions with regards to maintaining and checking out. So well furnished. Overall just very grateful for our stay and jealous of your home. Very much intend on booking again in the future.

Cedar Wood was excellent!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The accommodation was well equipped, spacious & beautifully located. If we were to make any comments / suggestions it would be that the entire property was warm, very warm & the upstairs rooms were absolutely baking with no air flow! Appreciate it is July! Some form of window coverage in the kitchen would be ideal as there are a lot of windows which have beautiful views, just too bright at times & contributed to the heat! A washing line perhaps? Maybe a retractable one as we were in a running event & kit was washed well by the lovely washer but the clothes horse although good, wasn't sufficient for a full load of several peoples kit! Would have liked a few more smaller drinking tumbler glasses perhaps but the kitchen was very well stocked. A good few of the mugs were sadly chipped on arrival. Ensuite bathroom fan worked intermittently & the basin occasionally had a drain like aroma. Might have appreciated from a full length mirror somewhere in the property too. Stunning property, loads of storage & beautiful fittings, clear instructions for everything, friendly neighbours & livestock! We would stay again!

We had a lovely stay at Cedar Wood and would definitely return.

This was our first time in the lakes and this was the perfect location to explore the local area. The house was comfortable and welcoming and equipped with everything we could possibly need. Any issues were quickly resolved by the owner.

A really lovely home from home property.

Nicely cleaned, comfortable living area and kitchen, lovely outdoor furniture and garden. Amazing views.

We have had a lovely stay at Cedar Wood, the property was as described and what a view!

We had a few rainy days so made the most of the property which was great! We had our 3 year old grandson with us and nothing was an issue, very accommodating! The only criticism is that there was a lot of mess on the patio as there is a bird nest which we appreciate will be hard to keep clean and as we say this is only a small critic! Thank you for a lovely week!

An amazing property in a wonderful location.

The house was very well appointed and the bed in the downstairs master bedroom was extremely comfortable. The kitchen had all the appliances, crockery, utensils and pots and pans needed. There was plenty of comfortable seating in the lounge and on the patio. The view was amazing and we enjoyed watching the sheep and cows in the field at the end of the garden. It was easy to walk into Coniston and to the lake via the well maintained public footpath near the lake. The cruise on the lake was great, and there were some lovely cafes and pubs nearby. We were amazingly fortunate to have sunshine every day and temperatures in the mid 20s. Many stunning walks nearby, we’d definitely recommend the All Trails app to find interesting routes. There were a couple of things which are probably worth knowing: A parasol for the garden would have been most welcome; The house notes suggest refuse will be recycled at the tip, however, we saw recycling lorries Thursday morning and most houses seemed to have a purple recycling bin as well as the green general waste bin; plus, the WiFi is poor and intermittent. All in all though, it was a brilliant property and we had a fabulous holiday.

We had an amazing time at this place, the property is really well equipped with everything you need and it was amazing to have the farm backing onto the garden with the stunning view over the lake.

The owner was also super responsive with a few small queries, would highly recommend

Lovely property - exceptionally clean throughout and with good facilities.

The house isn't an obvious choice but it is lovely inside. Great showers, enormous bath (a 7ft person could lie down in it and be submerged). Fabulous view from the rear, off street parkiing and very very quiet. We moved here after renting a different property in Grasmere with another company that was not as described and were very happy with our choice. The only possible criticism (as many others have said) is a lack of glasses / cups. The house sleeps up to 6 and there are only 6 cups/. They only cost a few quid so would definitely make the experience a bit better, but this is a minor oversight. The internet seemed to drop to to 0.2mb for the last day we were there as well, but that didn't seem to be related to the house, more likely the ISP. We have already reserved it for next year.

Lovely large property with stunning views .

Very comfortable beds , great showers and a well equipped kitchen . All very important! Very convenient location and easy to walk into Coniston. Would highly recommend.

Excellent accommodation in lovely location, close to amenities with beautiful views.

Certainly hope to return.

Firstly we appreciate that the owner has put a lot into this property, nice fixtures and fittings of good quality.

Sadly, they are being let down by the people who clean and maintain the property. A filthy toilet brush is unforgivable. Cobwebs and dirty floors and soiled pillow covers. The gardener who was there 5 minutes used a mower that does not collect the grass which then gets walked indoors. The patio area and furniture has not been cleaned for some time. The one complaint which was most significant is Sykes description of the property, even leading to miss selling. Sykes clearly says there is a bedroom and bathroom on the ground floor, when in fact the only room on the ground floor is the kitchen/dining room. One of our party is a wheelchair user and finding there is actually 3 steps to go up to get to the bedroom, bathroom and lounge affected his holiday independence badly. He had to ask for assistance when going to bed, going to the bathroom and joining the rest of the family in the lounge. No where in your description of the bungalow do you mention 3 steps, you always refer to ground floor. You need to point this out to future customers.

We liked the space and the way the bungalow had refurbished.

The furnishings were of a good quality and it was spotless. The view was fabulous although sadly impeded a little by the height of the central flower bed. The owner was quick to respond to questions during our stay, we did have issues with the wifi and never quite got it working properly in the lounge. We felt that the kitchen lacked some items, and to just have 6 everyday drinking glasses was very frustrating as was the lack of any tupperware to keep left over food or take out. We were also disappointed in the welcome pack, I can't recall the last time we stayed somewhere and opened an empty fridge, surely a pint of fresh milk is possible. Maybe some kitchen roll, foil. For the high price there was nothing that made us feel special eg no bottle of wine or cake, biscuits etc. Indeed we had to buy washing up liquid and had only 2.5 toilet rolls in 3 toilets for a 2 weeks stay. There was no mid stay clean. The linen was left on the doorstep and damp by the time we returned. We had to stripped the beds and so had to re make with old linen before changing them again the next day. The dirty linen was not collected. There were no mattress or pillow protectors in the downstairs room with the result that both were stained. There was no local information, maps, guide books, fliers. We did find a small booklet in an unused kitchen cupboard as we were leaving. It was not left out. We had not realised this was a Sykes property, we would not have booked had we known. I disagree with their approach to many things and particularly their attitude during covid. I suspect had the owner lived nearby and managed it personally it would have felt far more welcoming and that someone had made a real effort to make our stay special rather than just routine.

We stayed in the cottage for a week in February half term.

Despite the cottage being listed as dog friendly we would not recommend it for dog owners, the garden with its fencing is too low and wire to be secure and with the inquisitive sheep in the next field we couldn’t allow our dog free rein in the garden. The drive is also an issue, we arrived in the dark and damaged the side of our car turning into the cottage as the wall is not lit so is impossible to navigate at nightwithout someone being outside to direct, and is difficult in the day even with light. The cottage is very nice and spacious with plenty of room for the 4 of us, however, it did lack some basic extras that we would expect for a highly rated cottage in this price bracket such as washing up liquid, more than 2 dishwasher tablets and maybe an extra toilet roll for each bathroom?

The property was lovely!

Really clean and finished to a high standard. The showers were great, beds comfortable, and we had nearly everything we needed (a potato masher and some more glasses, mugs and large plates would have been good). The car charger was brilliant for us and the owner called us to help when we couldn’t work out how to get it working. The property is close to Coniston with all its amenities, about 10 mins’ walk via the path or the road. The views of the lake are beautiful and we would definitely return.

We had a fabulous stay.

Lovely, comfortable property with excellent facilities. Very clean and had all the essentials needed. Stunning views from the living area.

A beautiful property in a beautiful setting.

We felt there were a few things missing in the property like it would have been lovely to have had a sun canopy for the outside table, there was also no pizza cutter, the wooden table outside had seen better days, a washing line would have been helpful too, not as many accessories in the kitchen as we had hoped there would be. Also the property could do with a good cleanup, lots of dust and cobwebs inside and outside. Apart from these things it was a well sized property with beautiful views. Not sure if we would stay there again. Coniston itself is a beautiful part of the Lakes District, we would definitely stay in Coniston again.

We had the most wonderful time in Coniston and the house was just perfect.

It had plenty of room, it was comfortable, the garden was a delight and we couldn’t get enough of the view….the perfect location, overlooking the lake. After a day of exploring the area and challenging ourselves to various walks and hikes (the Coniston Old Man is visible from the front of the house) it was great to come back and chill in what felt like home from home - all we needed was right there. I did not want to leave so hopefully will be back again to visit.

We had a fantastic stay at Cedar Wood to celebrate my dad’s 60th.

As soon as we walked through the doors of the property, we noticed the spectacular views which really did make it special. The property itself is clean, well stocked and really thoughtfully designed. The beds were comfy and showers were powerful! Overall, we all felt the house was even better than we’d imagined from the pictures online and would really recommend it for a great stay in the lakes.

Entrance is extremely difficult and that's with an Audi TT Coupé.

No mention of the two roads. House itself is superb.

My wife and I had a wonderful week at Cedar Wood helped somewhat by glorious sunshine the whole time.

The accommodation is superb being spacious, modern and with a great view. Absolutely will recommend at every opportunity. Thank you Sykes and hope to find a similar property through you in Devon for September.

This is an amazing property.

Very modern with a view to die for. Everything has been thought of for the perfect holiday.

Beautiful property with fantastic view.

Very well thought out and furnished beautifully. Our only downside was the internal steps with Mum as struggles going up and down for the toilet and downstairs bedroom but other than that it was perfect

Really lovely house and comfortable.

Great location,

Beautiful property with fantastic views of the lake and top-class facilities.

We had a really enjoyable and relaxing stay at Cedar Wood and would love to return.

I spent a long time searching for suitable accommodation, (3 bedrooms, minimum of 2 bathrooms, parking for 3 vehicles and dog friendly) so that my son, his partner and their young dog and my sister and her husband could join myself and my husband to celebrate my 70th birthday.

We arrived in November 2021 during a day of torrential rain and found the cottage to be so cosy and warm particularly with the underfloor heating. I had made a note of the owner’s guidance re the heating system but luckily we didn’t have any issues, turning it down low in the evening or when we went out and up again in the morning or on our return when the cottage quickly got warm. The cottage is immaculate, beautifully furnished, styled and decorated to a very high standard. My family said the beds upstairs were very comfortable and my husband and I found the bed in the large downstairs bedroom to be so comfortable that I made a note of the mattress and we purchased one on our return! The kitchen had everything we could have needed and was a delight to use. We received a small welcome pack and as recommended, I brought with me pods for the coffee machine. The lounge was so peaceful and the views from the kitchen and lounge were stunning, (as were the views from the back bedroom) with a lovely secure garden overlooking a field of sheep and the lake. My son’s little dog loved that he could go out of one door and ask to come in at another! The following 2 days must have been some of the warmest November days on record and we were able to walk down to the lake and also to Coniston village, where we had very enjoyable meals at the Black Bull Inn. We all agreed Cedar Wood was the perfect choice - we couldn’t have had a better weekend. We too can highly recommend Cedar Wood and look forward to returning in the future.

Cedar Wood is a fabulous quality property.

We have stayed in a wide variety of accommodation over the years but we can honestly say that Cedar Wood is at the top of that list and we can’t wait to book again! The cottage is spacious, with plenty of rooms and a fenced garden with fantastic views. Loved the double patio doors off the kitchen, it made it feel so light. It would be lovely to go back in the summer and make use of them and the outdoor seating area. The kitchen has plenty of cupboard space if you had a bit of a longer stay. We were there for a weekend in Early November. The lounge has comfy sofas and feels cosy at one end of the room for chatting or relaxing and the other end for watching some TV. The ground floor bedroom is extremely spacious with dressing area and on suite shower room with the most wonderful shower! The 2 upstairs bedrooms are again spacious with lovely touches, like the lighting that automatically comes on/goes off in the wardrobes. There is a lovely toilet/sink bathroom upstairs too. This is a very well thought out property with quality furnishings, the floors, doors, curtains and bedroom furniture are all of a lovely standard. A nice little welcome pack in kitchen of teas/coffees/sugars and biscuits was a nice touch. I think a few essentials in the kitchen cupboards would be very much appreciated, for example tomato ketchup & brown sauce. Vinegar. Salt & pepper. Things that have a very long shelf life but that are unlikely to be taken on a weekend away. A great selection of kitchen pots and pans etc are available. We had a small issue with the heating, it wasn’t really on when we needed it but we weren’t too cold (although the weather was mild). We tried to adjust it but it was more the times it came on rather than the temperature. There were blankets in the cupboard if needed. Comfy bed in the downstairs room (can’t vouch for the upstairs ones, though my mum and kids said they were good). Also noted was that the TV’s were of a good size and range of channels to choose from. The dog was happy in the garden watching the Herdwick sheep in the field behind. My children loved the book selection available too. The walk down the path to the water and surrounding area was great to explore. We didn’t get to see much else as the weather was pretty awful on the first day but we managed to get out the second day. We immediately wanted to rebook this property for a longer stay! Highly recommend it.

Cedar Wood is a fabulous cottage!

Extremely comfortable, spacious - well presented and clean. Beautiful views! Well located and close to pubs etc. with walks from the door. Also I think cottage is nicer than photos (which is pretty rare). Nothing negative to share (apart from terrible weather but meant we appreciated the house even more I think). We like staying in different places but hope to be back at some stage.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Cedar wood.

The house exceeded our expectations- the view from the kitchen/garden/lounge is beautiful. The photos don’t do the rest of the property justice- it is finished to a very high standard with lots of lovely little touches. The kitchen is very well equipped and the beds are so comfy. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this property!

Excellent location for us as my wife only has partial mobility she could enjoy the views when I went out to walk the dog.

Short walks were available from the door with the option to take much longer walks over Coniston Old Man, Wetherlam & the Dow group of fells. The cottage is very roomy, comfy and very well equipped. One very small improvement would be to fit something in the bathroom shower for soap / shampoo, much like the en-suite shower (but lower).

Heating was preset on ‘Nest’ and it was meant to be on a room thermometer which always seemed to read higher than it actually was, therefore on cold, wet days when we needed to dry off coats etc, it didn’t come on, we couldn’t put it on manual and it felt rather cold.

First house I’ve stayed in for ages with no ‘welcome pack’, great house though and very clean. Amazing views, well equipped house and fabulous location.

Cedar Wood was a lovely property with beautiful views of Coniston Water from the main reception rooms and rear garden.

Highly recommended for a relaxing holiday with lots of walks in the area.

Amazing house with stunning views.

Everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We couldn’t fault a thing.

Cedar wood was stunning!

It has been well maintained and felt brand new. It had everything you would need in the kitchen and plenty of utensils for cooking in. The house had loads of gadgets, and underfloor heating. The bedrooms have plenty of storage and are very comfortable, the upstairs twin has amazing views. The garden is stunning and safe for little ones and dogs. Loved the stone bench at the bottom of the garden , lovely views of the lake from there. I would of liked a built in BBQ shelf as we had nowhere to stand ours on safely without scorching the walls so didn't use it. The drive takes some negotiation if like us you have bigger cars but ok once you master it. The garage has electric doors great to store prams or bikes, with access to the house internally. There is a pub 5 min walk away, and plenty more in the village, with loads of shops and cafés, Lovely walks all around the area, 15 min stroll from the house takes you down to the lake. I can't criticise anything about our stay we loved everything. The owners have thought of everything to ensure you stay is wonderful, would highly recommend Cedar Wood and would definitely return if staying in the lakes again.

Fabulous property - high quality fittings and furnishings, lovely patio/garden and really well equipped; great location with stunning views.
