  • "What a beautiful home!"

    it was very spacious, clean and had all the amenities we needed and more! It was in a fabulous location within a few short minutes walk to Coniston. We did have a minor maintenance issue that was rectified within a few hours of reporting. The only downside were the upstairs showers the water pressure was extremely low.

  • "Beautiful house, outstanding conservatory."

    Could do with a lock on the downstairs shower room to avoid awkward encounters with the in laws !

    Thankyou for taking the time to do a nice review. We agree the door should lock so we will put one on . Hope to welcome you back one day . Property Owner

    Both the house and the village have everything you need for a classic Lake District holiday. We thoroughly loved our week there and will return.

  • "We had a really lovely stay at Holme Fell."

    The things that let it down where the garden, when we arrived the grass was very long and quite a few brambles growing o we the bottom decking. The gardeners did come on the Thursday and mow the lawn and did some maintenance so the Friday was fine but this was our last day. It would have been nice to have more information about the area, there was a folder but a little limited. At other properties we’ve stayed in there has been a welcome pack on arrival which always seems a lovely way to welcome your guests.

    Thankyou for your feedback but disappointed to see your expectations were not met. I apologise for the garden but the gardener calls fortnightly so we will consider asking him if he can do it weekly . I will take another look at the information folder and regarding the welcome pack we do supply fresh milk , tea and coffee on arrival. The welcome pack we did offer was not always used but we will consider trying again . Hope your grievances do not stop you from staying again . Property Owner

    It's perfectly located within 2 minutes walk of Coniston's shops and pubs and 10-15 mins walk from Coniston Water. The house was spacious, clean, well maintained and Gail, the owner, was very helpful. We'd recommend it without reservation.

  • "We all fell in love with the house as soon as we walked in-it felt really spacious and is beautifully decorated to a high standard throughout and extremely clean."

    The open- plan kitchen and conservatory is huge with lovely sofas to sit and relax and enjoy the views. The bedrooms felt very luxurious with lovely en-suites and the beds were extremely comfy too. The location is perfect in a very quiet cul-de-sac with lots of cafe's and pubs nearby and some nice little shops where everyone was so friendly. We all hope to return again very soon-Thank you.

    Thankyou for taking the time to do the lovely review Fiona. It was good to hear you enjoyed Holmefell and Coniston village. It will be a pleasure to have you as returning guests in the future. Property Owner

  • "Lovely large clean property suitable for a few families."

    Morning sun in the conservatory into open plan kitchen breakfast bar. Downstairs zip link twin/double has separate bathroom off the kitchen with walk in shower - suitable for elderly parents. Quiet cul-de-sac location with short cut few minutes walk to village & The Crown. Outside bins crammed full on arrival and little firewood. Garden needed doggy bags & no welcome pack. Still, 10/10 for house cleanliness, property suitability & bathrooms, settees & bedrooms' standards, thank you for the holiday, great memories! Book Holme Fell if searching for this type of house.

  • "The space, layout and facilities were all very well thought out."

    This is an extremely comfortable and attractive holiday let which will obviously appeal to groups of friends or extended families wanting to get together in this popular location. It worked very well for our arranged break (6 adults comprising 2 couples and 2 singles) allowing us to enjoy memorable times together but with the benefits of spacious en suite bedrooms to retire to.

  • "Holme Fell is a lovely comfortable and very well equipped house, furnished to a high standard."

    There are great views from the 3 upstairs bedroom, all of which have en-suite facilities. We loved sitting in the conservatory and enjoying the surroundings. There is also nice seating areas outside. The house is convenient for Coniston Village, a few minutes walk away and its amenities. You can also walk to the lake in 15 minutes. Coniston is a great place to explore the beauty of the Lake District and all it has to offer. All in all would thoroughly recommend Holme Fell for a lovely comfortable stay. It will not disappoint.

The property

Fabulously-located in the pretty village of Coniston, Cumbria is this superb four-bedroom dwelling, Holme Fell.

Benefitting from pet-friendly accommodation, a woodburning stove and stunning views of the Lake District National Park, Holme Fell welcomes up to eight guests to bask in the ultimate escape to Cumbria.

Upon entering your new home-from-home, take the weight off your feet in the open-plan living space, ideal for hosting family mealtimes and spending quality time altogether; kick back on the sofa as your other half gets to grips with the well-equipped kitchen to rustle up a tasty home-cooked meal, either to be enjoyed at the breakfast bar or outside in the enclosed garden.

Soak up your surroundings and pop open a bottle of fizz as you debrief on the day’s events so far or plan for the one’s ahead.

If the evening grows cooler, retreat to a homely living/dining and cosy up in front of the roaring woodburning stove, ready to relish a movie marathon or catch up on your favourite shows on the Smart TV.

If it’s some much-needed rest and recovery you’re seeking, why not take advantage of three splendid en-suite bathrooms or a ground-floor shower room, treating yourself to a warm shower or indulgent soak in the tub prior to catching some rest.

Choose from a super-king-size, king-size or double on the first floor, or a super-king-size (zip/link) on the ground floor to snooze the evening away, all neatly-presented with plenty of storage to house your belongings in.

If you can tear yourself away, kickstart your itinerary with a stroll into Coniston where you’ll find The Ruskin Museum, in addition to a lovely selection of shops and pubs which are ideal for stocking up on the essentials or treating your family to a hearty lunch.

Heading towards Coniston Water, be sure to stop off at the National Trust owned Steam Yacht Gondola, Hougan Manor Estate and Brantwood, before taking a dip or trying your hand at a range of watersports upon the third-largest lake in the Lake District.

For plenty more to see and do, head to Bowness-on-Windermere, home to The World of Beatrix Potter Attraction, in addition to the much-loved author’s former home at Hill Top, Orrest Head Viewpoint and Holehird Gardens, with Wray Castle and Fell Foot, also residing only a short distance away in Ambleside.

Well-positioned to also visit Rydal, Grasmere and Kendal, all with a plethora of amenities and attractions to experience, Holme Fell is the perfect base from which to explore all that the Lake District has to offer.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £450.
