Holme Ground Cottage

It is a cosy, very clean, charming cottage with everything you need for a holiday.

Good routes nearby, Coniston with supermarket, shops, butchers and pubs is only 10 minutes by car. We enjoyed the open fire, the views from the rooms, the watercolour paintings. Definitely recommend - 10 out of 10.

Very comfortable, great location with good access.

We mangaged the whole week without driving from the cottage, everything done from the door.

This was our 3rd stay at the cottage and first in Summer.

Love the cottage and location, it’s so quiet with infinite walks from the door! It would be nice if the garden was fenced to provide privacy and stop dogs wandering but apart from that all good

A lovely cosy comfortable well equipped cottage.

The garden is teeming with wildlife and we saw a red squirrel and a woodpecker right by the back door. This is my second stay and I hope to return. Fantastic location if you want to walk from the door and forget the car and potential traffic. Very helpful owner. Many thanks :)

The location is lovely and has plenty of walks straight from the property.

We would stay again .Property was a little tired, cutlery , crockery and pans could do with replacing , curtain in lounge hanging off hook , one light bulb needs replacing in the lounge , bath panel cracked on corner . Otherwise comfortable as you would expect from a old cottage . The step coming out of the rooms a little dangerous, my 3 year old Grandson came out of the bathroom with his mum missed the step and came down the stairs like a rag doll . Luckily he bounced and did not sustain any injuries. If anyone is going to stay make sure you take water with you for drinking, cooking , brushing you teeth etc water at the cottage is not drinkable . We arrived at 5pm and needed to go into Coniston to get water . After a incredibly long journey by car from Bournemouth we just wanted a cup of tea . It would be a nice gesture to leave 2 bottles for guests on arrival day .

Overall very happy with our stay in this cottage.

The secludedness, peace tranquility, fantastic views and location of the cottage far outweigh any of the following, which I hope to be constructive criticism. Cottage would benefit from with a little updating and massive spring clean. It's only a 3 star so did not expect luxury but parts of it could've been cleaner, alot of cobwebs in kitchen corners, doorways, windows, edges of windows particularly velux in top bedroom which still had cracked glass with tape over. All that aside it was very well equipped (again some grubby utensils which we had to wash before use) with everything we needed in THE HEATWAVE week we were there. Couldn't get any hot water from kitchen tap or bathroom tap (luckily shower ok) so false economy as had to boil kettle to wash up. Bit too remote for us, long single track driveway tricky but did match description so we knew this. Again all this aside the positives are we had a great holiday stay, there were only 2 of us, ok for 4 but think would be a struggle with 6.

Lovely, comfortable and homely cottage in a beautiful setting.

Shame about the shabby condition of the neighbouring properties and their gardens, and the unwelcome attention from a large, albeit friendly black Labrador from a neighbours cottage that frightened our smaller dog and kept her indoors.

Fantastic location and the cottage had everything we needed and was very comfortable.

The garden looks out onto the fells and is great for bird watching and relaxing. The owner was very helpful with some minor maintenance issues which were dealt with promptly. It was very good to have the second parking place as there is no overnight parking nearby. Coming back next year! Many thanks for a great stay

We had a very enjoyable holiday at Holme Ground Cottage.

The cottage is very comfortable although there is limited storage space in the kitchen. There are some very nice walks from the cottage eg to The Three Shires Inn at Little Langdale or to Holme Fell. We will definitely be returning. The one point that I would note is that the description on the Sykes website refers twice to a welcome tray with coffee, tea, milk and wine. A bottle of wine was indeed provided, but not tea, coffee or milk. This did not affect us. (We brought our own coffee, tea and milk.) However, if a visitor arrived late at night expecting to be able to make a cup of tea or coffee they would be very disappointed. This was also noted by several visitors in the visitor's book for the property. I suggest that either the description on the Sykes website is corrected or the welcome tray described is actually provided.

Good points: The cottage was cosy and well-equipped although very limited storage space in the kitchen for food.

There were lots of wet-weather walks from the door or nearby. There are plenty of bigger walks from the door or with a short drive but the weather only allowed us one day of going high. Beware: It would have been a squash for six people. The hot water tap in the bath ran extremely slowly which put us off using it more than once. The lane from the main road is small which is no problem in itself but might be offputting for less-confident drivers; it was awash and the adjacent stream close to breaking its banks on our (very wet) arrival day! Overall: Good value for money and we'd consider returning.

Wonderful property in an amazing location.

Lots of great walks on your doorstep. We have stayed there twice now.

Cottage is in a lovely, quiet location that is surrounded by a multitude of accessible walks right outside the front door.

Due to being rural, the internet is occasionally slow and the hot water occasionally takes a while to kick in, but aside from those little issues, this place has everything you need for a comfortable holiday surrounded by beautiful nature.

A lovely property.

Comfortable, roomy, very good location, splendid views.

Lovely, quaint, warm, old cottage.

Great location for walks around Langdales, Colwith Force etc. Lots of wildlife in the garden and a nice real fire.

Cottage is in a great place to explore the quarry and mines, lots of them.

plenty of walks from the door. Short distance to Coniston or Ambleside for shopping or meals out. Washing machine needs attention/repair very very noisy when on spin cycle.(not because its overloaded) Second parking area is not useable when wet as it is only a grass area (got stuck twice) needs to be fixed as no other area is available and it annoys the residents if you park in their places. All parking areas are marked. Was a nice holiday, apart from the three storms.

The property was lovely had everything needed for a really nice relaxing time.

Nice little touch of the Xmas welcome pack with crackers, xmas cake and wine and roasting tray and foil for cooking (which we forgot very nice) very cosy little cottage lovely and quiet, with a lovely garden area. plenty of birds and squirrels which we fed as requested, was nice to sit and watch them. bedrooms warm and cosy (too warm as we discoved had to turn the heaters off) but no complaints would love to stay again, stunning cottage in a beautiful location, walks from the door if you wanted. Turned out it was just mum and daughter plus our 4 legged friend, fantastic!!!!!!

We had a family adventure arriving during the evening of Storm Arwen.

We lost electricity after cooking supper on the first night and it never came back (same for much of Cumbria) for the rest of our 3 nights stay. The cottage was a delight as we spent evenings sat around the open coal fire with lamps, playing monopoly. Very happy with all the furnishings and beds etc. The cottage is the perfect place to walk from: either for short strolls through the forest, or a much bigger ascent of the nearby 770m peak. We hope to come back as soon as we can!

We all enjoyed our stay and hope to return again next year.

The window in the master bedroom wouldn't open and the duvets were quite thick for summer.

Otherwise as expected - a basic but comfortable house with all the necessities. We enjoyed the use of a log fire on the rainy days. Lovely, quiet, rural location. Excellent for walks.

Lovely tranquil location up a beautiful valley on a no-through lane, good walking from the door.

Facilities good for a little terraced cottage, beds and pillows very comfortable!

The cottage is right up in the fells, a little off the beaten track, but close enough to the shops in Coniston for convenience.

There are wonderful walks on it’s doorstep, which worked out very well for us, as I could leave my daughter watching TV and go for a short hike before dinner.

Very well equipped kitchen but not much storage space for own supplies!

Patchy wifi for those who are bothered by these things. However, loved that there were lots of walks from the front door.

Peaceful relaxing location.

Yet close to all attractions.

Wonderful location for walking and relaxing.

Beautiful views and well kitted out kitchen. Only drawback was thin curtains that let in a lot of light meant sleep could have been better.

Lovely quiet location which is ideal for walking.

Really enjoyed our week away to the Lakes.

We had beautiful weather. The house is lovely and quiet. Enjoyed the endless bird song and fire in the evening.

We had a lovely break in the Lakes, cottage was lovely, weather good, just a few showers.

Went for some lovely walks. Would stay again. Thank you

Really enjoyed our week away to the Lakes.

We had beautiful weather. The house is lovely and quiet. we enjoyed the endless birdsong and fire in the evening.

Our 4th stay.

Again very comfortable and we love the artwork

We had a lovely week staying here!

We enjoyed Grizedale Forest, Wetherlam, Motor Museum and a boat trip on Coniston Water. What a perfect location to stay.

We had a lovely stay in your gorgeous cottage!

Such a beautiful location and beautiful space. We loved the walking and the nearby quarry is incredible. Very comfy beds.
