Coney Garth Retreat

We loved everything about Coney Garth cottage.

The house was very cosy and clean..the best bit was the view we got from the kitchen. The owner was very warm and friendly, made us fresh cake and scones which was a welcome surprise. She also helped us by giving us a list of places which we could visit and we loved the recommended places. Thank you so much for a lovely comfortable cottage that made our holiday special.

Lovely cottage, peaceful and quiet and the hot tub a plus.

Julie the owner made us feel very welcome and we had lots of information on where to visit and eat/drink. The surrounding areas to visit are just amazing and the scenery is out of this world. Thank you for a wonderful holiday and we hope to be back again soon.

Clean and comfortable cottage in a peaceful setting.

Friendly hosts. Glad of the air-conditioning unit during our week of hot weather. Ideal location to explore West Cumbria. Hot tub was a bonus

Julie was a great host and the little extra's was a nice surprize

Fabulous host and great welcome, so much local information not forgetting the wine and treats

We had the most relaxing, enjoyable stay at Coney Garth Retreat.

Very comfortable and well thought out accommodation with everything you need, including the fab hot tub! Julie is a great host and we really appreciated the goodies we received on arrival. Would definitely recommend this lovely property in a beautiful part of the Lake District.

Me my partner and 2 kids stayed for 4 nights to be honest it was the best place where we ever stayed .

It was clean and all nice furniture .A big window on the 1st floor with amazing view, hot tab was perfect at the end of our busy days . Julie was so nice and a fantastic host ,she gave us information about all the best things to see and do . She also left some chocolate eggs out for the kids and then to top it off home made scones on the day we were leaving. we are definitely going back. 5 stars . Liene and Neil

Our second stay at this property and it won’t be the last.

Julie is an amazing host and nothing is too much trouble, the cottage has everything you need and is cleaned to a very standard. Highly recommend!

Just home from a 5 night break, 2 adults, 2 children (13&9).

Perfect homely cottage situated in a lovely little village. The owner Julie is a lovely lady and has so much passion for her little properties. Goes above and beyond to make you feel welcome, offering recommendations and lovely chats to gorgeous little touches like fresh bakes and decorative items for Easter and a bottle of fizz. The cottage is perfectly clean with everything you need and would expect from a Cottage let. Lovely thick big towels, fresh white bed linen, robes and flip flops for the hot tub. We recommend the local chip shop ‘Frasers’ just a few miles out the village, we enjoyed a chippy tea one evening. Village pub has a lovely atmosphere. Real friendly people. Lots of hotspot walks only a short drive away. We enjoyed our stay so much we’ve booked to come again. See you next year, we all can’t wait

A perfect base for our Scafell Pike adventure!

We had a truly wonderful stay at Coney Garth.

Perfect peaceful location, great facilities and such a friendly, warm welcome from Julie. The hot tub was the ideal way to relax after a day of walking/exploring. Plenty of nice thoughtful touches - including tasty home baking! Thanks very much for everything Julie.

Such a nice property which is close to the seaside and to many other key areas of the Lake District.

We couldn't fault it.

The cottage had everything we needed. Would definitely recommend this cottage. The owners were very welcoming and you could tell they really took the effort to make your stay a very good experience. Wouldn't hesitate in going back again.

Absolutely amazing.

From the moment we got there Julie was a magnificent host. Every little detail was covered. We made the most of attractions around, muncaster castle, St bees Whitehaven, Derwent water ( paddle boarding) and lots more. We slent our honeymoon here and could not have chosen a better destination. A knock on the door one evening, Julie with scones straight out of the oven with jam and clotted cream. Julie you are amazing. If you've found Coney Garth retreat but are not quite sure. STOP THERE. I can guarantee you will not be disappointed. Our first trip but will definitely not be our last

We had a fantastic stay in the retreat.

Julie was such a lovely host and went above and beyond to ensure we had a great holiday. The retreat was decorated beautifully and had everything you would need from a home away from home! I have already recommended the retreat to family and friends. We will certainly be back in the future. Thank you for such a memorable stay Julie. The Keeney Family

Lovely holiday property, clean, comfortable and the Hot Tub was great.

The owner was really friendly and gave good suggestions on things to do in the local area. Despite wet weather we had a good week away as a family. Our girls (8 & 10) enjoyed the play area in the village and also days out including the Pencil Museum at Keswick, the Aquarium at Maryport, walking round Buttermere and fun at St Bees beach and playground with yummy cakes from Beach Road Bakehouse

Fantastic property and the owner had thought of everything you could possibly need.

Julie had great tips on what to see and do while in the area! The scones and hot tub made the stay perfect!

Julie the host was fab, attentive and kind, we arrived late and she still took time to show us round the cottage and highlight the local area, there was everything we needed, she had thought of everything, the views were amazing, definately one to revisit

We had a lovely welcome from Julie, who showed us around the property and gave us information about the area.

The property was exactly as described. Well presented, beautiful views, snug, and with lots of thoughtful extras. The hot tub was fabulous with sensational sunsets. Julie was the perfect host, we had a brilliant week, thank you.

Lovely clean property.

Nice scones from Julie in the week, and add extras in the cottage. Feel it would be nice to cater for 4 adults, as well as 2 adults , 2 children in bathrooms. Lovely cottage would definitely return

We had an amazing experience With a family of 3 little kids, service was to the next level, hot tub was as good as can be beautiful views.

Would definitely recommend staying at the Coney Garth Cottages.

Absolute luxury the cottage is amazing and Geoff and Julie such brilliant hosts.

We couldn't have asked for a better holiday can't wait to go back.

We stayed in the retreat for a week and couldn’t have asked for anything better.

The cottage had everything we needed. Having a hot tub was also ideal after a day walking on the fells. It’s ideal for walking in Wasdale as it’s only 25 minutes away. The welcome pack of Prosecco and biscuits was lovely and even more so when we had scones and cake delivered which was a nice surprise. The view from the lounge which was upstairs was a nice addition.

We throughly enjoyed our stay the cottage was spotless and was equipped with everything you could need.

The owners were lovely and it was a lovely surprise when they sent warm scones with jam and cream which was much appreciated. Would definitely recommend and look forward to booking again

Stayed here for a week and had the best stay ever, retreat has everything you need, and more.

The owners are a stones throw away, without being intrusive, and they are the nicest people you could wish to meet. The village is great, with pub and great food, sky sports a bonus, all the locals very friendly. All in all a definite book again from us. Stephen and Angela

If you are looking for a retreat look no further.

I honestly can’t fault this property from location, quality, cleanliness and friendliness. This truly is a home from a home with the added luxury of the hot tub, perfect for star gazing. Julie went above and beyond for all Our needs. We are only sorry we couldn’t stay longer. Will 100% return. Thank you

Absolutely gorgeous and spotlessly clean.

Beds very comfy and everything needed at hand. Could not fault it.

Coney Garth Retreat such a beautiful cottage and like a home from home (just much better).

Loved the quarkiness of upside down living and couldn't ask for better facilties and the hottub was just what was needed after a day's exploring. The host where simply amazing from the little welcome packs to the lovely homemade cakes and scones, and where most helpful providing lots of knowledge of places for us to visit. We will definitely visit Coney Garth again

We had a great time.

The accommodation was first class and the owner very friendly and helpful. I would have no reservations at all in recommending it to anyone. Plenty to see and do in the area - lots of information in the cottage and helpful ideas from the owner.

Excellent holiday base.

Brilliant upside down accommodation. Great first floor lounge and kitchen. The hosts, Geoff and Julie were very friendly and helpful. Amazing places to visit within easy reach of Beckermet. A great holiday.

Lovely accommodation with added bonus of a hot tub.

Comfortable beds and well kept open plan living-room/ kitchen. Julie was a fab host, providing great knowledge of the area and a delicious treat of cakes and scones mid-week. Quieter part of the lakes with a beautiful beach and surroundings nearby to explore. Muncaster Castle and Wastwater are brilliant places to visit.

Lovely modern property and a warm welcome, after a rainy trip on the motorbikes.

Coffee tea etc was kindly provided, as was a bottle of Prosecco biscuits and cake :) quiet private location, hot tub was used rain or shine, pub a walk away. Off road parking available. Lots of beautiful rides around the lakes and nothing too far away. Would definitely recommend and will happily return

Absolutely gorgeous cottages.

We loved everything about it. Definitely 5*. Hosts very friendly and very generous with homemade goodies and bubbly. Hottub a great bonus and views from our upstairs lounge amazing. Everything was available in cottage. DVDs and games if required. Cupboard stocked with household essentials. Thick fluffy towels and robes. Beautiful area to explore. We seen so much without travelling to far. Walked 40 miles in 6 days. Won't hesitate to book any of 3 cottages but think Retreat was best......

Lovely house in a location just out with the busy tourist areas.

Within a few miles of the local co-op and a brilliant playpark around the corner for the kids. Most lakes were within 1 hour drive. The house itself was very easy to live in and we loved the upstairs living room as the bedrooms downstairs tended to be cooler at night. The hot tub was only used a few times and was well maintained and clean. The communication from the hosts was very friendly and helpful, suggesting local attractions that the kids would like (Muncaster Castle was great!). They also dropped round home made scones and a bottle of bubbly which was very kind. Lovely break!

We had a super week stay at the Retreat, the accommodation was first class.

The retreat is situated in a lovely village in a lovely area of Cumbria. The treat we recieved of fizz, lovely cream sconce, lemon drizzle cake and white chocolate cheese cake which arrived on different days during the holiday were all much appreciated. The hot pool was lovely and was used daily, even though the weather was hot for the whole week. Views from the garden and hot tub were very relaxing. My sister and brother in law visited and stayed overnight they were impressed by the property . Would certainly consider staying again sometime in the future.

Julie was very welcoming, providing an abundance of advice on days out which were excellent.

A gorgeous cottage, which was very clean and with everything you could possibly need. The beds, settee and even the chairs at the dining table were extremely comfy. Lots of little extras like washing up liquid, dishwasher and washing machine tablets, foil, bin bags and even coffee pods! Dressing gowns and flip flops for the hot tub a great idea. The fizz, biscuits and scones much appreciated and delicious. Lovely aspect with all day sun. We totally relaxed and watched the sun go down from the hot tub every night. Thanks for a perfect stay - a 5 star cottage and we will definitely be back!

Amazing space with a warm welcome .

.. we had an excellent break

Thank you to Julie and Geoff for a warm welcome to the cottage.

It's in a lovely quiet location. The property was stunning and the fizz and biscuits were much appreciated when we arrived and the parcel of cake to take home was delicious! The location is great for access to the lakes and also the coast, we had a great stay!!

Stunning, affordable place to stay.

Great location for the lakes, country pubs or general walking. We loved it, definitely be returning. We were looking for somewhere relatively close with a hot tub and we found this gem. When we fancy a hot tub, chill out then this will be the place we go, no need to search elsewhere. Clean, comfortable and modern. Great hospitality from the owners. We all loved it.

Beautiful retreat in a great place to explore the west side of the lakes.

Extremely clean and well equipped, good views from the kitchen of the fells and a wonderful hot tub to enjoy. Would definitely recommend, the owners are friendly and welcoming with scones, cake, prosecco and Easter treats!...why wouldn't you want to come back? Thanks Julie and Geoff

We had a great week, lovely place to stay and very clean.

We had a lovely trip in the Lake District.

Despite the weather being not so great, the cottage was a real tranquil home away from home. It was well equipped and little things the owners had done like the welcome Prosecco, the cookies, scones etc just made the stay even more special. The cottage was clean, modern and the hot tub was a real treat, perfect for those cold days. Beckermet itself is a small town but friendly and a really nice place to just get away from the business of day to day life.

Absolutely brilliant.

Exactly how it was described online. Would highly recommend. The owners greeted us with fresh scones which were lovely. Gave us recommendations on the local area for activities and food and drinks. Would definitely come back. Mark :)

Beautiful property, excellent hosts.

Great location for lots of different activities

I had a fantastic 3 night stay at the retreat.

Julie was lovely and explained everything about places to visit and eat. Cottage was so clean and welcoming, such a quiet relaxing village, just what I was in need of. Thank you julie for the bottle of Prosecco, enjoyed in the hot tub and the wonderful biscuits and cake too! Hopefully will be back soon

Beautiful property.

Brilliant facilities. Lovely attentive hosts. Would thoroughly recommend this property for a relaxing break.

Absolutely amazing place I would definitely recommend this to everybody to go and stay there.

Everything is on your doorstep, Beautiful scenery, You have everything you need provided for you there. And the hosts are friendly and very welcoming. Perfect little touches with the scones fresh cream and jam, Oh and who can forget the bottle of bubbly to have in the hot tub. Perfect

Excellent in every respect.

It was an imaculate property. The owners provided many little extras which helped to make a superb place to stay.

Very warm welcome, great location, superb facilties and going the extra mile with a ready to go hot tub, chilled prosecco and freshly baked scones and cake.

Luxurious experience all over!

In my view, the key considerations which elevate any assessment of holiday accommodation to "excellent" and above, are the extent to which the advertised description of the location and the accommodation is matched in reality, and the extent to which the owners go above and beyond to ensure that every small detail achieves perfection.

'The Retreat' more than justifies being classified as excellent. The introduction from Julie was welcoming and explanatory, augmented by her most appetising home baking. The accommodation was impeccably clean and furnished to the highest standard. The 'Retreat' is fully equipped and all appliances are provided with every necessary sundry. The Retreat enjoys the optimum location within Beckermet, being in the village but also on the edge of the countryside, and within 5 minutes walk of two pub/hotels: that is increasingly unique nowadays. Altogether, I reccommend the Retreat in the highest terms.

This cottage is absolutely gorgeous!

We loved our time staying in the retreat. It was so clean and modern, light and the window in the kitchen was just wow. It made cooking so much more enjoyable :) The hottub was lovely and we often had the cows coming to visit haha. Overall, I would stay here again and would highly recommend it to a friend. Geoff and Julie are wonderful hosts and were there if we needed anything. Julie, your scones and cakes were delicious and made my partner very happy!

Must go, you won’t regret it!

This is the best self catering place I have ever stayed. Hot tub amazing, properly lovely, the hosts are perfect, shout to Julie’s who is just lovely and her baking is to die for, little complimentary extras such as Prosecco and the toiletries are really luxurious. They really understand what a guest looks for.

The cottage was well equipped to a high standard.

It was situated in an attractive village with two pubs serving food within walking distance. The owners were friendly without being intrusive and ready to suggest amenities worth a visit. We had a thoroughly enjoyable time and this area of the Lake District is less commercialised than other areas yet has some beautiful scenery.

Fantastic cottage - cosy, comfortable, with everything you need provided - well stocked kitchen, comfy beds, toiletries in the main en suite and mirrors beside plug points for drying your hair (this is my pet hate as so many places don't have this, so extra bonus points from me!

!). Lovely views from the upstairs lounge. Julie was friendly and helpful, giving us ideas of where to go and what to do. Really appreciated the bottle of fizz and cookies that were left for us as well as the scones and cake brought round on our last night. It's these little extras that make all the difference. Loved the hot tub at the end of the day. If I had to criticise anything, it is the lack of bright lighting over at the sitting area for evening reading. However would highly recommend this cottage.

We had an amazing stay here.

The owners were fab and clearly really loved and looked after the accommodation. It was ideally located for us. The beds were incredibly comfortable. The house was really clean and so was the hot tub. The owners were very thoughtful and left lots of little treats for us - mini eggs, cookies, Prosecco and some homemade scones and coffee cake! They also had flip flops and gowns available for the the hot tub which was really helpful and an airer to dry off wet costumes/towels. All in all a lovely holiday.

A fabulous cottage in a great area to explore smaller lakes and beauty spots.

Great facilities within the cottage - couldn’t think of anything else you could possibly need!!!

Accommodation was like home from home.

Very clean and spacious. Host where very welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. Would recommend a stay here.

Beautiful accommodation, we had the perfect 1st stay in the lakes, we will definitely be back!

!

Really nice and comfortable property.

....we had such a relaxing time. The hot tub was great and such a cozy sofa to snuggle into. The hosts were fantastic and the Prosecco and scones were a lovely touch as well....will defo reccomend the place to friends and family

Had a lovely stay at Coney Garth Retreat.

The retreat itself has been done to a very high standard and is so homely. The hot tub is a lovely added extra, and was nice to use after a long day out. Hosts Julie and Geoff were great, providing information on places to visit and even providing toys to entertain the kids on rainy days, not to mention the amazing homemade treats, its no wonder people come back again.

Just perfect lovely cottage surrounded by beautiful countryside.

Could not have wished for more. Great hosts, lovely warm welcome.Prosseco, biscuits and coffee to welcome us. Fresh homemade scones during our stay. They even gave us some delicious apples from their garden when we left. Which we have just finished. So we will need to retur soon.

Julie and Geoff Nugent were very helpful and ensured we were happy with everything on our arrival on during our stay.

They were both very informative of what was around the area to do and visit. Geoff took us around the luxury retreat on arrival, explaining everything we needed to know. The situation of the retreat is very peaceful, beautifully kept and the village itself was ideal for walks and for a visit to the Royal Oak pub for lunch/drinks is highly recommended. The hot tub was a lovely bonus which was checked on a daily basis. The nice touches of the prosecco, biscuits and home made scones was really appreciated and the scones were delicious. I would definitely recommend the retreat to anyone as it is definitely a luxury escape from real life!

A fabulous cottage with everything you need for a comfortable stay.

Julie is a lovely host - freshly baked scones, with jam and cream, delivered on a very wet day lifted everyone’s mood! The Royal Oak in the village serves superb food. Recommend paddle boarding on Wastwater and a trip to Go Ape Whinlatter if you’re with teenagers/young adults. Seascale is lovely and has a fabulous ice cream shop too. Coney Garth is a great base to explore the West Lakes from.

Wow!

What a fabulous place! The accommodation was amazing, decorated to the highest of standards with all the luxuries you could possibly want! The local area is beautiful and quiet, we loved taking the cycle routes to Seascale for beach days and ice cream and to Gosforth for some yummy Italian food! Wast Water was incredible, one of my favourite days! The Ravenglass railway and Muncaster Castle are close by for and well worth a visit! At the end of busy days we came back to the cottage to relax in the hot tub and enjoy the fizz and other treats left by Geoff and Julie; fantastic hosts with great local knowledge and ideas about how you can spend your holiday! We’d waited so long for this holiday and it was definitely worth the wait! I don’t think I’ve ever felt so relaxed and refreshed! We cannot wait to come back! Xxxx

Another great holiday at coney garth.

Julie was very accommodating and responded to requests as well as checking on our comfort. We would definitely recommend staying here!

Well thought out quality cottage, couldn't fault it and the owners were very generous lovely people

The cottage is beautifully furnished a true retreat.

The views are stunning. Local area has lots to offer - hot tub was a bonus. Highly recommend we will be back.

We had a wonderful holiday at Coney Garth Retreat.

The accommodation was utterly fabulous, well appointed and sparkling clean. The hosts were on hand for any questions and even brought us a homemade afternoon tea - the scones were delicious! We will definitely be booking again.

Had a great trip, hosts were fab & the accommodation exceeded our expectations, would definitely recommend!

Absolutely Fabulous!

! We had such a great time!! We will definitely recommend it!!

This was our second visit to the cottage but it still exceeded expectations, some nice unexpected extras from the owners was wonderful.

The accommodation is comfortable with well stocked high quality fittings, furniture and equipment. Location provides good access to many of the area attractions. Highly recommend.

Had an amazing 4 days in this gorgeous cottage.

Every single thing we needed was in the cottage. Julie and Geoff the hosts wee fabulous and the wee touches such as Prosecco and home made scones were lovely. The hot tub was great and we made good use of it. One of the best holiday cottages I have visited and look forward to a return visit.

Great cottage, hosts Julie and Geoff about if needs be but not intrusive.

Lovely scones, biscuits and fizz. Lots of extras in the cottage like loo roll, washing up liquid, dishwasher tabs etc. Nice village, able to walk to the beach.

The owners of this cottage are literally the loveliest people you could meet.

Made us feel very welcome and the cottage was immaculate. Was also lovely for them to have had the hot tub heated and ready for when we arrived. Getting greeted with a hot tub and a bottle of Prosecco was much appreciated. Would highly recommend.

Had a fabulous weekend at Coney Garth retreat .

Beautiful property in beautiful village . Hosts amazing and arrived Saturday with freshly baked scones jam and cream which were lush. Hot tub gorgeous . Had a meal at the white mare in the village which would highly recommend. Thank you so much and planning a return.

Fab holiday cottage, absolutely everything thought of by the owners Geoff and Julie.

We wanted a relaxing break before the rush of Christmas and that’s what we got. Perfect house, perfect scones Julie ;) and perfect Lake District to explore, not forgetting the lovely pub down the road. We hope to return xx

A very well appointed property.

The hot tub was a must after a day of walking! A warm welcome from our hosts.

This cottage is a wonderful place to go to and relax its so peacefully in a lovely village setting.

Geoff and Julie are a lovely couple who all ways put you first. I would like to thank them both such a wonderfully stay, and me and my wife will be back to enjoy another week there soon. First time to the lake district but not the last you can get to every where you want from this cottage. Once again thank you both for a fantastic week

The cottage and hot tub were lovely and very clean.

The owners were welcoming and the facilities excellent . It was a great location with lots of places to visit to keep the whole family entertained. We had a great holiday and would highly recommend to others!

We absolutely loved this holiday rental.

The retreat is beautifully finished, clean and generous in size throughout. The hot tub is lovely and clean and was a favourite with our children. The TV is set up with Netflix and the retreat has WiFi, both which made it easy to entertain the children in the evenings. We would 100% recommend booking the retreat.

The cottage was bful the country side was amazing!

Everyday the hot tub was cleaned out. We will be coming back. Thank you for making us feel so welcome Elaine - Manchester

The retreat is amazing!

Very clean and furnished beautifully. We loved the hot tub and fantastic hosts who made our stay extra special with some lovey touches. The location is good, a few things to do near by. The only thing we would have liked is a more lively pub or more pubs near by.

Fabulous luxurious accommodation, lovely little extras provided by hosts , location in a lovely quiet setting and accessible to surrounding attractions.

Would highly recommend .

This is a superb new barn conversion with everything required to enjoy a holiday.

Very comfortable with lovely views and a delightful hot tub. Plus a very good pub / restaurant only a few minutes walk away. With the Lakes and the Coast on the doorstep it is absolutely perfect!

Fantastic accommodation.

Owners really helpful and friendly.

We felt very welcome and at home.

The cottage was a great space for a family holiday and a good location to explore the Lakes from. There were lots of little touches here and there which added to the whole experience! We would definitely return.

Afordal luxury in the stunning Lake District.

Was a pure joy to roam about the fells all day, then return to a hot tub and stylish accommodation. Our hosts could not have been more friendly and really went the extra mile to make us feel welcome. A few less marketing emails from Sykes would make this the ideal experience.

The cottage was spotless , the owner lived 100 yards away and was most helpful, all the facilities including the hot tub were first class , and the local pub , really only 4 minutes walk , was excellent for both food and drink, the cottage was central to most area facilities.

we had an excellent long weekend and would certainty stay there again

Stunning holiday let with all the mod cons including underfloor heating and a fabulous hot tub!

Lovely relaxing break! Can't wait to visit again!

Coney Garth Fam is an excellent property.

From location to facilities and everything in between it was fab. We will DEF recommend both the property and Sykes cottages to others.

Lovely, friendly, clean, well maintained - couldn't think of a way of improving it!

It was perfect!

Would highly recommend to anyone, it’s an amazing getaway! Very friendly and helpful host, exceptionally clean, and lovely facilities (and a very very nice hot tub) 11/10!!

Amazing stay in this wonderful cottage.

The attention to detail in each room was lovely and the owners were accommodating to our needs, but kept to themselves to ensure that we had full privacy and made the most out of this mini break! Would definitely stay here again and recommend it to others, especially as it has a hot tub!
