    “The cottage's main positives are it's position high above the village and the view of the lake from it's garden.”

    We have visited Coniston yearly for the last 30 years and this is our first stay in Lavender Cottage. The cottage is quite tired and well worn in places especially the soft furnishings and bedding, also some plaster is cracking off the walls and there is black mould in the bathroom however the kitchen is totally ridiculous, it seems every cupboard has been filled with useless clutter and there is nowhere for guests to store their supplies apart from on the worktops, every cottage we have stayed ...

    We have visited Coniston yearly for the last 30 years and this is our first stay in Lavender Cottage. The cottage is quite tired and well worn in places especially the soft furnishings and bedding, also some plaster is cracking off the walls and there is black mould in the bathroom however the kitchen is totally ridiculous, it seems every cupboard has been filled with useless clutter and there is nowhere for guests to store their supplies apart from on the worktops, every cottage we have stayed in has had cupboard space available for guests! The kitchen also has a foisty smell especially from the base cupboards at the fridge end. As always we enjoyed our time in Coniston, we have stayed in lovely cottages over the years always in one of the 2 rows of miners cottages and we would rate this cottage as average.

    I am sorry to hear that your stay at Lavender Cottage wasn't as positive as I'd have hoped. Previous guests have commented that they have found the range of kitchen utensils helpful but I am planning on consolidating cupboards when I next visit to leave space for guests to use. I am surprised that you found the soft furnishings and bedding worn as everything has been updated in the past two years, including new sofas in August and a new main bedroom mattress in January. I am constantly refreshing things so that it feels like a home away from home. Property Owner
