Stone Arthur Cottage

Stone Arthur is a lovely cottage in a peaceful location.

My only disappointment was the welcoming pack although the wine and chocolates was a lovely idea, I personally would have preferred local produce like milk, butter and eggs especially after a long journey. Loved watching the birds and listening to the sheep. The garden was just right. Aga was easy to use. Plenty of utensils well equipped kitchen. Bedrooms were more than ample, beds comfy.

We just stayed for a week, what a beautiful place, the cottage is amazing and the views are breathtaking.

A great location with walking distance to 2 pubs (remember to book as they get busy), and lots of walks. We loved it so much we rebooked for next year, would highly recommend.

Had a fantastic week staying at stone Arthur cottage, absolutely loved the quirkiness of the cottage and how so many of the original features have been kept, the views from the garden are beautiful.

We found the facilities very good and the beds were so comfortable, the only negative I would say is that the sofas in the sitting room were probably the most uncomfortable sofas I’ve ever sat on, they were like sand bags and could definitely do with being replaced. We found the aga very difficult to cook on and there was nowhere to grill anything, I think an air fryer would be a good addition to the kitchen. Would definitely stay here again and would recommend the property once the sofas have been changed

2nd time staying in Stone Arthur Cottage, great spacious property along with great character and stunning views Would return without hesitation

We had a fabulous Easter week in Stone Arthur cottage and it had everything we needed for a great holiday.

We even managed to cook an Easter Sunday Roast lamb in the Aga with no issues! Cottage is beautiful and we loved the quirky traditional features (although our 6ft 4 son wasn’t built for the doorway height in those days!

This was our first visit to Stone Arthur but I don’t think it will be our last.

A beautiful cottage in a great location. The cottage had everything we needed. Loved the enclosed garden. Despite it being early April, we managed to sit outside with a cuppa and enjoy the sunshine. Great walks from the doorstep. Great food at the nearby pubs.

Fantastic cottage in a brilliant location

The cottage is in a wonderful quiet location with everything we needed within a short walk or drive, yet with amazing views and walks on the doorstep.

The rooms are bigger than I thought they appeared in the photos, and it looks like there has possibly been some fresh decor and replacement of some of the bedroom furniture like the huge new bed in the main bedroom since the photos were taken. We found the main lounge sofas very lumpy/uncomfortable and we were grateful for the additional small lounge off the kitchen/diner which was sufficient as there was only 2 of us. Overall I'd say the cottage was in good order and pretty clean considering the age and type. Highlights were the lovely enclosed garden for our dog, good heating (underfloor, radiators, AGA) and plenty of hot water and decent showers, PIR security lights outside for late/early dog walks, spacious homely feel, lots of storage and well equipped kitchen, and wonderful location. As other reviewers have stated you will need to bring everything you need aside from salt/pepper if you want to cook - by that I mean things we might normally find in our rental property kitchen like a roll of kitchen towel, oil for cooking, basic spices, cling film/kitchen foil, tea and coffee, dishwasher tablet or 2 - some of these things are shown in the photos but not provided. It's also the first property we have ever been to (and we have come to the Lakes a few times a year for many years now) where there has been no welcome pack at all - not even the wine/biscuits other guests seem to have received! Again these things are not necessarily expected, however they do seem to be the norm based on our experiences. Overall a really enjoyable stay and we'd happily return in the future.

A wonderful cosy and comfortable cottage set in beautiful surroundings.

Booked for a 60th Birthday celebration and it certainly didn’t disappoint! Well equipped spacious kitchen/diner/lounge we found perfect for entertaining. Lovely cosy lounge with a log burner and comfy settees. Bedrooms are spacious with high quality bedding with comfortable beds and plenty of storage. Garden area was lovely, we stayed in December and so could not make full use of but idyllic for the summer months. Grasmere is a 15 minute walk away with the added bonus of a lovely pub just 5 minutes walk away down the lane. *Really nice touch from the owners with the cottage decorated out with Christmas trees and decorations. We had a perfect week for celebrations so many thanks, we will be back !

Lovely character property in great, quiet location.

Excellent accommodation size and layout. Very well fitted out. Experienced some issues with the heating - extremely hot on arrival then heating/hot water failed but Sykes maintenance team responded quickly. 2nd shower unit cubicle didn't get hot water all week (mildly warm at best). Be aware of some low head height restrictions at a couple points which require ducking under and a couple of uneven interior steps but OK when used to it. Would book again as a lovely property and knowing that any issues get resolved.

Great accommodation — quirky and comfortable Best thing was being able to go on wonderful walks from front door I only needed to get back into the car once in our week to go 10 mins to a lightweight’s take off for Hellvelyn and then walk right back home Pub at the bottom of the drive had good food Up there with the best places we’ve stayed at in the lakes Book it!

Cottage is in a great location.

The bed in main bedroom was extremely comfortable and the shower in the main bathroom was powerful. However, the whole cottage needs a deep clean, it wasn’t up to the standard we would expect. We couldn’t get the heating to work upstairs, it was cold and felt damp. The downstairs toilet was horrendous, it had a terrible sewage smell. No basics in the kitchen like oil, basic spices, kitchen roll, foil etc. The welcome pack was not what we’re used - it was a pack of biscuits and a bottle of wine. We normally get milk, butter, eggs as well as a treat and a bottle of wine. This cottage wasn’t cheap so we expected better. Overall a very disappointing experience!

The cottage was absolutely stunning!

Comfortable beds, big sofas, well equipped kitchen and very conveniently placed. The walks from the doorstep were amazing. We had a wonderful stay. Plus, having The Travellers Rest just down the lane was a huge bonus!

Only one - could do with handrails on the steps at the front I am 81 years and found the steps inside and out challenging.

Apart from that it was great.

Beautiful, Stunning cottage, so clean and has absolutely everything you need.

I was really impressed. Bedrooms are beautiful too, so much space. You get what you pay for. Kitchen is spacious, loved cooking on the Arger Easy walk down into Grasmere, The Swan Hotel, fab food and hospitality. Lovely shops, eateries and a beautiful walk around the lake.

Lovely cottage great location.

Plenty of room. We were a party of 6 with a toddler and dog. Aga needs to be switched on all the time for it to work. Very warm downstairs. Cosy. Lovely outside space.
