Overall we were very pleased with our stay, we were very comfortable, great garden for our dog and perfect position for village amenities Probably due for some items to be upgraded and larger bath towels would be appreciated but would definitely use again when staying in Coniston

Cottage was fantastic but a few things in the kitchen let it down a bit,we had a grill pan but no grid/mesh tray so were not able to grill, also no measuring jug, not big issues

“Booked several times through Lakelovers and never been disappointed, however, although we had a great holiday, we were underwhelmed with the accommodation.”

Chiefly the beds were very uncomfortable as was the sofa. Also felt damp on arrival and strong smell of pets - especially after heating been on. The position of the property is great for walks and amenities and very quiet. The garden is good size but maybe a couple of sun chairs would be a nice touch. It wouldn’t stop me booking through yourselves again - just wouldn’t book Sethera and wouldn’t recommend it.

Mr Geldard July 2021

“Fantastic location in the village of Coniston.”

Size and views from the back garden are a real plus for the property and we felt that more could be made of this with provision of modern outdoor furniture. House is compact but a lovely living/lounge area is bright and spacious. Would definitely return.

Mrs Leslie July 2021

“We really enjoyed our stay and the location is in an ideal place and it's nice and spacious for a sleep 4 cottage, the only downside is that when we tried to rebook for next year the price had gone up by £400 from the price we paid for our stay this year, so we've booked something with another company for a lot less than the £1180 quoted by lakelovers.”

“Lovely bungalow in quiet close.”

Ms Armistead May 2021

“A nice bungalow with a massive garden, unfortunately the living room furniture is dated and uncomfortable also the beds are hard.”

Would definitely book again if it was revamped

Mrs Webber-cross April 2021

“Curtains needed in the second bedroom - children woke very early (530am) Blind not adequate for a good nights sleep.”
