“Lovely little cottage in a good location.”

All very cosy but beds could have been better. Kitchen well equipped but sad there wasn't a coffee maker (even a cafetiere would be nice!).

“Absolutely loved the property.”

Incredibly comfortable, well equipped and well situated close to shops and the mountains for fabulous walks, without needing to drive anywhere. Love to return. A perfect stay! Thank you.

Rachel April 2022

“Very characterful hike-friendly and bike-friendly cottage (with useful bike storage shed at the back).”

We had a really comfortable stay and loved being able to walk straight into the fells from the path at the back. Thank you!

“Excellant as ever.”

Beautiful little cottage with all the facilities needed for a lovely holiday in The Lakes. Convenient for village, walks from the cottage and buses.

Lisa March 2022

“Such a beautiful little cottage, very cute with lots of period features, nooks and crannies and we loved the coziness of the log burner at night.”

The beds were super comfy and we had everything we needed for the perfect stay. We was also left a small laundry box from lake lovers that contained a dishcloth, scrubber, dishwasher tabs and a black bag. Car definitely needed to get around and we will be back to enjoy the Lakes one again. Thank you.

“The only niggle was the TV,not sure if it signal problem or a wiring fault but couldn't watch TV very poor signal.”

Other than that all was fine.

- David, September 2021

Thank you for letting me know. It was an aerial problem. I have also replaced TV with new SMART TV which I am hoping is obvious to operate! Sorry for the very late response but I only realised today I could respond. Property Owner

“Really lovely holiday cottage that was very well equipped and very thoughtful.”

The location was perfect as it felt remote but just a 10 minute walk to Coniston and trail accessible behind the home. Would highly recommend for a relaxing holiday away from the bustle of Ambleside and Windermere.

The property

The owners have created a comfortable and relaxing ambience having recently upgraded the kitchen and bathroom. Couples or families will feel entirely at home in this much loved holiday home. Curdle Dub is sheltered below the fells of the Coniston range in a peaceful position having a rural outlook towards the graceful valley at the head of Coniston Water and Grizedale Forest beyond. It is ideally placed for low and high level walks from the back of the cottage as well as mountain biking. The village of Coniston is a short walk away with its shops, supermarket, cafes and award wining brewery at the Black Bull. Escape here and find an unforgettable retreat, well-placed for you to experience the inspirational landscapes, fascinating history and spell-binding waterborne activities of this unique Lake District holiday location. == Accommodation in detail Arrive to your delightful sitting-out area, with a path leading to the entrance porch. Enter into the cosy living / dining room, adorned with old oak beams. You'll enjoy countryside views from the traditional window seats. The modern kitchen is well-equipped with upto date appliances and everything you need to make the most of precious time in this Coniston holiday cottage. Upstairs to the two bedrooms, one super-king size zip link bed (please specify super king or twins at time of booking) and one double, both with window seats, picture cottage windows and fabulous views. Modern, spacious bathroom with shower over bath. Secure external bike storage Location A holiday cottage in Coniston takes you away from the busy streets of Bowness, and the sometimes touristy feel of Lake Windermere. This picturesque and peaceful village lies in the west of the Lakes, on the edge of Coniston Water - the Lake District's third largest lake. Overlooked by the dramatic presence of Coniston Old Man - a famous Lake District hike - the lake provides water-borne activities in breathtaking surroundings. Coniston's Victorian stream yacht gondola and traditional launches offer relaxed, scenic cruises. You'll learn about Donald Campbell's famous water speed record attempt in 'Bluebird', and explore Peel Island which provided the setting for 'Wild Cat Island' in Arthur Ransome's Swallows and Amazons. Overlooking Coniston is Brantwood, historic home of the artist, writer and creative thinker John Ruskin. The house is open to the public and has an excellent cafe, The Jumping Jenny, with superb lake views. For exploring further afield, a holiday home in Coniston provides a peaceful, picturesque but convenient base. Find Hawkshead and Windermere to your east, Langdale and Grasmere to the north and Ulverston to the south, with manageable journeys by bus or car. For a spectacular scenic drive, head west to the Duddon Valley and follow Wrynose Pass to Eskdale, followed by Hardknott Pass to Little Langdale. Very steep roads but worth it for the scenery! Please note: Due to the age of the cottage, it has a steep staircase, a step in the kitchen and uneven floors upstairs, therefore Curdle Dub is not suitable for anyone with mobility issues.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £200.
