    “This was certainly one of the nicest cottages we have stayed at.”

    Exceptionally clean throughout, cosy and comfortable. It had great views over Coniston and was ideally placed for great walks to some of our favourite places. We didn’t use our car all week! We would definitely pay this cottage another visit.

    Thank you for the positive feedback - the views over Coniston and the fact that you can walk without moving the car are also things I love when I'm there! Property Owner
