“We had a wonderful 3-day stay over Christmas.”

The cottage was clean, warm and fantastically well kitted out. The complimentary Christmas tree was such a lovely touch. With only a 12 min drive to Lake Windermere, we were able to easily join family staying there, while we were able to enjoy the much less populated Esthwaite Waters. What a truly beautiful spot!

“We had a lovely stay in the cottage.”

The property is well placed with plenty of walks around. Bed are comfy and we found everything we needed in the cottage. Shame that the Coniston does not have a wood burner as this would make our stay even better.

“The bathroom door seemed to be stuck when we tried to get in to it, after several minutes of increasingly aggressive banging and pushing I realised the knack was to lift the door and was thus able to get in.”

A note to this effect would have been useful if the owners are not going to adjust the latch. They are probably so used to its ways they don't even notice it.
Mrs Allsop September 2019

“Lovely stunning place, so peaceful, relaxing and homely.”

Comes with all essentials needed for arrival
Mr Frankland June 2019

“Ideal tranquil location, especially with a dog.”

Private walkway to EsthwaIte lake was lovely, albeit somewhat overgrown and in need of strimming/cutting back! Beds very comfortable and nice touches like kitchen roll, washing up liquid, nice full hand wash in bathroom and full salt & pepper mills being provided and was much appreciated. Only problem was shower tray partially blocked, but was immediately fixed following notification to staff.

“It's a perfect setting for a getaway holiday : peaceful breathtaking views, cool refreshing air and cosy rooms.”
Mr Beresford May 2019

“Our cottage suffered from being able to hear the people upstairs moving about especially a creaky floor board above our bed.”
Miss Reed May 2019

“Coniston Cottage is in a great location, being in such a central place in the Lake District but also as it is surrounded by beautiful countryside and with plenty of walks right on the doorstep.”

There is a footpath from the cottages down to Esthwaite Water and it is also in very easy walking distance of Hilltop (Beatrix Potters home, now owned by the National Trust) and the pub (booking required for meals)! I would thoroughly recommend walking to Wise Een Tarn from the village. Coniston itself is a clean, ground floor apartment set in a courtyard of other holiday cottages/apartments. Unfortunately the noise from the upstairs apartment did somewhat spoil our stay. There really isn't much sound proofing between the two floors and the floor itself creaks, loudly, whenever anyone walks over it. This was unbearable at 6am in the morning. I feel that a bit of time/money spent on the upstairs apartment, even to just secure the floorboards, would make a big difference.
Mrs Travers April 2019

“Cottage apartment comfortable, clean, good location adequate facilities.”

Generally good value only negative was noise from upstairs apartment. Well organised system .
Mr Purcell December 2018

“Perfect location for our break with our dogs.”

Plenty of great walks, welcomed at local pubs with 2 large dogs and accommodation offering all the comforts of home.
Mr Broomhead December 2018

“Nice quiet area, views are great, cottage was lovely.”

You could do with sorting the gaps out around the front door and the shower tray drained very slow. But all in all me and the wife loved the area and look forward to coming again.
Mr Marston November 2018

“Lovely location.”

Plenty of space and dog friendly. Hope to be back on the spring.
Mr Hulse October 2018

“Lovely location, excellently presented.”

Although the hot water failed for a day it was fixed promptly.
Miss Carr June 2018

“Stunning location.”

The accommodation is not luxurious but it is comfortable and spotlessly clean. The garden is great for dogs and children but although there have obviously been tubs for bedding plants in the past these were no longer in use. It did look a little lacking in TLC as a result. My husband has limited mobility and although Coniston is not specifically adapted for disabled people he was able to manoeuvre his walker around inside with no problem and use the shower with the suction grab handles that we brought with us. The only issues that we had were a) not enough toilet paper - there is an "allowance" of 2 rolls so if you think that you are going to use more then bring some with you! b) We had very heavy winter weight duvets, we asked if they had any summer ones but they did not but we were supplied with an extra sheet to use with the bedspread. If we continue to get such hot summers then this is maybe something the managers of the accommodation would like to consider. We will certainly return
Mr Waller May 2018

“It was our first visit to the lakes ,the cottage was absolutely brilliant the scenery was stunning , the gardens were immaculate and we spent many evenings there watching the sun set over the hills , The location was perfect to explore the area .”

We will defiantly be coming back very soon to the cottages. Thankyou for an amazing experience ! .
Mrs Ohare May 2018

“Bathroom not too clean,and a bit shabby compared to the cottage we had last year No teaspoons, had to buy some, no dustpan and brush for quick spills, had to go right round building for a Hoover.”

Fabulous location tho, we thoroughly enjoyed it. These are just minor issues

About the location

SAWREY

Hawkshead 2 miles.

The village of Sawrey is situated two miles from Hawkshead down the eastern side of Esthwaite Water, overlooked by the woods and tarns of Claife Heights. Sawrey consists of two separate hamlets - Near Sawrey and Far Sawrey - both with a cluster of picturesque cottages, tea rooms and pubs. Near Sawrey is famous for Hill Top, the 17th century farmhouse where Beatrix Potter wrote her acclaimed children's stories. Now a museum, owned and run by the National Trust, Hill Top is one of the most visited houses in the Lake District. Far Sawrey is the hamlet furthest away from Hawkshead and the nearest to the ferry point on Windermere. It offers a church and pub/restaurant with a beer garden. There are good walks in the area, including those to Claife Heights and in Grizedale Forest. It's also a great base for enjoying a wide variety of typical Lakeland pursuits - with watersports close at hand on Lake Windermere, fishing on nearby Esthwaite Water and, of course, fell walking.
