Loved the light, spacious bedroom and large shower in the bathroom. The TV in the bedroom was a nice surprise and very welcome.The views from the garden were stunning and it was very pleasant sitting on the patio in the afternoon. The box of goodies was much appreciated. Cottage is a short walk into the centre of Coniston and 15 minutes from the lake. Ideally placed for walking up the Old Man and to Tarn How. Would certainly recommend it to anyone wanting to stay in Coniston.

It's location in the village meant we were so close to all amenities , there's a variety of stunning scenic walks from the doorstep including over to Hawkshead and Grizedale forest then easy to catch a bus back or vice versa, easy to walk to the lake for a swim then with the additional comfort of the cottage, lovely log burner, excellent bathroom (the bath is perfect for a deep long soak after hard walks), comfortable bed and then the icing on the cake, the view from the garden beautifully relaxing and we especially liked the stable kitchen door so even when the weather was not so good we could still enjoy the view and let the outsdide in. Perfect.
