    “The sitting room was not as pictured on cottage website which shows a two seater settee facing the fireplace/TV and a single chair at the top of the stairs under a standard lamp.”

    The settee has been replaced by a single chair. From the chair at the top of the stairs there was no window light to read during the day and it wasn't easy to see the TV so I had to move it each day so it was next to the other chair and because there was no electric socket there to move the lamp, move it back to the top of the stairs to read after dark.

    The settee has been replaced by a single chair.

The big bedroom window meant a lack of privacy in the bedroom and the bed was hard. The shower was weak and if that is due to limited water/ water pressure due to location why install a jacuzzi! Lots of don't do this/don't do that notices and we were well into our stay before we found the what you can do in the area info in a drawer. Would have been nice if someone had checked all was OK after we arrived.

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.
