    “Disappointing and tired.”

    The kitchen was very lacking. The kettle knob was broken therefore dangerous to use as it was easy to burn oneself. The fridge/freezer was useless as the fridge froze everything. The rubbish bin had a broken lid which was corroded, not very hygienic. The one frying pan we used was not fit for purpose. The bathroom, as we were a party of three into our eighties, was not at all useful as we had to clamber over the side which was very high and wide, to take a shower. Also the light over the ...

    The kitchen was very lacking. The kettle knob was broken therefore dangerous to use as it was easy to burn oneself. The fridge/freezer was useless as the fridge froze everything. The rubbish bin had a broken lid which was corroded, not very hygienic. The one frying pan we used was not fit for purpose. The bathroom, as we were a party of three into our eighties, was not at all useful as we had to clamber over the side which was very high and wide, to take a shower. Also the light over the basin didn’t work and the taps were loose and very dirty .TV room cold and uninviting and the tv didn’t work for the first few days. Bedroom 1 bed ok but light on near side of bed only worked intermittently, power points difficult to use. All the radiators needed servicing, some were red hot while others didn’t work at all. Didn’t use the snooker room. Outside furniture in need of TLC. While the house had character it seems all rather tired and in need of some TLC. The gentleman , Colin, who lived opposite was very helpful and solved the tv issue. All in all disappointing.

The property

The Farmhouse is a charismatic 400 year old cottage that is beautiful both inside and out.

The property offers a great base from which to explore the vibrant village of Coniston, the majesty of Coniston Water as well as the wider Lake District.

A tranquil setting with a gorgeous garden, awe-inspiring views of the surrounding fells and Coniston Water itself.

There are great walks straight from the doorstep including the close by shores of Coniston Water and a host of local inns and local eateries, including the famous Drunken Duck Inn.

This area is popular amongst cyclists and mountain bikers due to its access to Grizedale Forest, just a few hundred yards from the cottage. Attractive old oak beams and flagged floors blend seamlessly with lavish furnishings and the welcoming wood burner, as well as an open fire, create a great ambiance for social gatherings or special occasions.

Suitable for two couples or a family, The Farmhouse offers plenty of space including two chic bedrooms that also enjoy the stunning scenery, plus there’s a luxury bathroom, perfect for a long soak after a day in the hills.

There are three resplendent reception rooms, one of which is a games room and also a delightful garden with raised decking, perfect for warm lazy days and al-fresco living.

Choose from a multitude of walks straight from the doorstep including the shores of Coniston Water and plenty of local inns and eateries surround this cottage - all close to hand.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £200.

About the location

CONISTON

Hawkshead 4 miles; Ambleside 8 miles.

Nestling at the head of Coniston Water, the pretty village of Coniston is surrounded by some of the most beautiful scenery in the Lake District National Park, making it a superb base for touring, with Hawkshead, Ambleside, Windermere and Grasmere just a short drive away. Superb walking, mountain biking and climbing are available locally on Coniston Old Man and Wetherlam, and the lovely woodland trails at Grizedale Forest. For watersports enthusiasts, the quiet lake is ideal for dinghy sailing and canoeing, whilst the less active can enjoy a leisure cruise on the beautiful steam yacht 'Gondola’, or visit Brantwood, the former home of John Ruskin. Nearby attractions include the award-winning village of Hawkshead, home of the Beatrix Potter Gallery, Tarn Hows, one of the most visited beauty spots in the country and Esthwaite Water, famous for its fishing. A first class holiday location at any time of the year.
