“Excellent accommodation, tastefully decorated , Everything you needed for a comfortable stay Would definitely return”

- Edwin, September 2024
Caroline September 2024

“Our 2nd stay here because we loved it first time round.”

A cosy cottage in a quiet location, but on the doorstep of a great area offering lots to do and see without too much travelling. The cottage is warm and comfy, beautifully equipped. The log burner an absolute boon on a chilly evening, and a very comfortable bed too.

- Caroline, September 2024
Julie July 2024

“Enjoyed our stay here.”

Had some good weather. Saw a lot of the area. Loads of useful information supplied by the owners. A non stick frying pan would be a good addition to the kitchen utensils and a larger TV screen in the sitting room. Bathroom and bedroom both lovely and the supply of logs was a great touch if required.Internet reception really good. 10/10

- Julie, July 2024

Hello Julie, I am glad that you had an enjoyable holiday in Corn Cottage; there is now a new non-stick frying pan in the kitchen. Kind regards Frances Property Owner
Peter July 2024

“The floors were very challenging for Bertie our cocker spaniel ( not very dog friendly )”

- Peter, July 2024
James June 2024

“Beautiful cottage that finds a great balance between being homely with a bit of luxury.”

The bath in particular is amazing and great to come home to after a day out. Kitchen has all the appliances you'll need, though could do with some non stick pans. There's some great walks straight from the cottage - highly recommend beacon tarn. 15 mins drive to Coniston and a little further to Ambleside gives easy access to more popular areas. Andy lives next door and was very friendly and on hand to make sure we had everything we needed.

- James, June 2024
Simon May 2024

“Great cottage in a great location.”

All you need for a trip to the Lakes. Walks straight from the door or a short car trip to the local attractions. Would recommend.

- Simon, May 2024
Tricia March 2024

“We had a lovely stay at Corn Cottage, everything we needed for a short break, super comfy bed, hot shower and cosy wood burner.”

Plenty of walks right from the door and also short car ride to all the sights. Great communication from the owners. Thank you

- Tricia, March 2024
Sally March 2024

“We have stayed in many cottages in the Lake District and this was the best so far.”

We cannot fault it. Having an unlimited supply of logs in the winter months made it a real home-from-home. A kitchen that has everything we needed for our self-catering holiday. We want to come back again so we can use the beautiful summer house !

- Sally, March 2024
Shirley February 2024

“Well equipped cottage in a good location.”

Owners were nice, they came to say hello on arrival and to ask if we needed anything. Log fire was lovely and made it very cosy. Logs were not rationed. We did not have any trouble with WiFi. We would definitely go again

- Shirley, February 2024
Krizysztof January 2024

“The location of Corn Cottage is perfect.”

The walks from the doorstep are plentiful and fabulous. There is parking for one vehicle on the property, with more at the roadside. The cottage was presentable, however, the toaster didn’t work and the owners were notified and happy to replace, but we used the grill in the oven. The dishwasher worked once and the wash cycle was poor. Again, the owners were notified. This would explain the dirty teacups and pans that on our arrival we had to wash by hand. That said, lots of hot water and the owners kindly provided plenty of logs at no extra cost. I am sure that the issues we had can be easily addressed by the owners.

- Krizysztof, January 2024

Thank you for your feedback and we are sorry that the cottage fell sort of our usual high standard on this occasion. You are right that the toaster had stopped working, I offered a replacement straight away but you preferred to use the grill. The dishwasher (a Zanussi domestic model) is working fine. I suspect you opened the door before it had completed the cycle and failed to press the reset button afterwards. Appliance instructions are in the house information folder. I did offer to come in and check the dishwasher as soon as you mentioned that there was an issue, but you refused. All guests are asked to leave the cottage clean and tidy for the next guests. We do check round as we are cleaning the cottage, but not thoroughly enough this time, and we apologise for that. Had you let me or my husband know at the time we would have sorted it at once, we live next door. We are disappointed to receive such poor feedback as we enjoyed chatting in the garden on more than one occasion, and you gave no clue that you were so dissatisfied. Property Owner

- Maureen, December 2023
Michael. November 2023

“Beautiful cottage in gorgeous location, although a little difficult to find.”

Bed was the comfiest I've ever slept in, and the log burner made the place feel so cosy. Lovely walks, good birdwatching and fishing on Coniston a short drive away. Loved it !!!!!

- Michael., November 2023
Peter October 2023

“Cottage was ideal for 2 of us plus dog.”

Well enough equipped in kitchen. Somewhere indoors too hang wet coats would be useful though we were very lucky with the weather. Log burner was great as cottage was a little cold but this was mid October. Sofa was not the most comfortable Shower would have been nice if a bit hotter. Red Lion pub a short drive away did good food. We were able to do a lovely walk from the door to Beacon Tarn. Other walks a short drive away. Over all, we enjoyed our stay. Thank you.

- Peter, October 2023
Thomas October 2023

“Lovely stay very peaceful great location and walks on your doorstep couldn't ask for anything more”

- Thomas, October 2023
Denise September 2023

“Perfect cottage for 2 and a dog.”

Clean, comfortable, well equipped, and in a lovely location. Great scenic walks from the door with clear instructions provided.

- Denise, September 2023
Jane September 2023

“Delightful cottage in quiet and beautiful countryside.”

The owners have thought carefully about providing everything you need for a lovely holiday in the Lake District. Had no problems with the wi-fi.

- Jane, September 2023
Linda September 2023

“Owners and Neighbours were really lovely and friendly but not intrusive.”

Cottage was great as it had everything you would need. The weather was brill so most of the time was spent in the Summer house, which surprisingly has a USB port for charging your phone. I would love to return hopefully when a bit colder to experience the log burner. I can confirm that the Garden is not Dog Proof as mine escaped on several occasions. This cottage is ideal for a relaxing, peaceful vacation with lovely views and locals.

- Linda, September 2023

Hello Linda, So glad you enjoyed the good weather and the summerhouse; and thank you for your kind words. As you say the garden is not dog proof, particularly for small or large dogs who can get over or under the fence, or possibly through the hedge. We have no plans to alter the fencing at this time. Best wishes Frances Property Owner
Paul August 2023

“A picture postcard cottage set in the most marvellous of locations.”

Literally minutes away from wonderful walks with breathtaking views around every corner. The garden is a sun trap, both front and back. Fenced and gated, so secure for canine companions. Perfect base to explore the area from.

- Paul, August 2023
Julie-anne August 2023

“We wanted to stay somewhere peaceful, quiet, clean, safe and comfortable.”

We were also looking for ease of access to amenities and walks - for us Corn Cottage was simply perfect.

- Julie-anne, August 2023
Ian July 2023

“Had a very calm and relaxing time.”

Really enjoyed the summer house and the walks from the cottage. It’s great to be in the outdoors walking or canoeing. But it’s even better if you can return at the end of the day to comfortable welcoming accommodation.

- Ian, July 2023
Steve July 2023

“Perfect for us, as a couple with a dog, to enjoy the charm of the Lake District.”

A lovely walk up out the back to Beacon Tarn, with not much further to ridge views of Conniston Lake.

- Steve, July 2023
Mark July 2023

“Delightful little cottage with easy access to other places in the South Lakes.”

Lots of supportive information with friendly and helpful owners. Walk straight out on to the fells and super wild swimming tarn nearby. Well equipped cottage with pretty patio and summer house to sit out with the hound.

- Mark, July 2023
Kevin June 2023

“Very nice enjoyed our stay there was everything we needed.”

Would suggest putting the sign on a post we missed it first time but maybe that's us.

- Kevin, June 2023
Caitlin June 2023

“Such a beautiful little cottage in a lovely location in the southern lakes!”

We just had a fantastic week there with our dog. Loved the outdoor space in the heat - I’d say this is dog proof and out spaniel loved the garden. Bed was super comfy, great bathroom and the cottage has everything you need!

- Caitlin, June 2023

Hello Caitlin So pleased that you enjoyed your holiday in Corn Cottage and that you liked the bathroom which we updated during Storm Arwen when we had no power for 5 days so it all had to be done with hand tools and head torches! Much of the garden is dog proof for medium and large dogs, and those not too agile or adventurous! A small determined dog, or a good jumper would be able to get out. Kind regards Fran Property Owner
Stuart May 2023

“We really enjoyed Corn Cottage.”

The equipment level was spot on, maybe a radio would be a good addition as my phone didn’t work on the speaker provided. Storage, comfort of bed, shower/bathroom, heating, log fire were all excellent. We only self catered once during our four night stay, but all the necessary equipment was available to cater for that option. Loved the outside area. Location good for Coniston Lake and we enjoyed walks from the cottage. All in all a lovely place to stay. Thank you Andy and Fran.

- Stuart, May 2023

Hello Stuart Thank you for your kind feedback, especially your comment about a radio. It prompted me to check the TV options and I have established that the radio is available through the TV, so will alter the house information to reflect this. I am glad you enjoyed walking from the cottage. Best wishes Fran Property Owner
Jean April 2023

“This cottage is fantastic, well equipped, lots of information on walks and the Lakes.”

We loved the summer house in the garden. Lovely views from windows. Some great walks literally over the road.

- Jean, April 2023
Jacqueline October 2022

“Good position, friendly owner, had a really good week, Thankyou.”

- Jacqueline, October 2022
Lorinda July 2022

“The garden would have been perfect if it had been totally secure for dogs.”

Our dogs are small so could get under the fencing. Lounge would have been perfect if one comfortable chair was provided in addition to the settee.

- Lorinda, July 2022
Elaine July 2022

“The only negative point was the Wi-Fi connection was not very good.”

Other than that a lovely cottage with lots of character, in a great location

- Elaine, July 2022
Sheila June 2022

“We had a lovely stay in this delightful cottage.”

The location is idyllic and we loved we could walk from the cottage. The owners provided a file of walks to choose from in a handy folder. They live next door and were helpful but unobtrusive. We were blessed with beautiful weather which was a bonus. We would love to return.

- Sheila, June 2022
David June 2022

“Well presented homely feel to well equippedcottage, we had a very relaxing stay.”

Liked the two private quiet sitting areas. Super location with extra bonus of being able to walk dog on fells 2 mins from front door. Very quiet. Stunning scenery. Easy and hard walks from door. Think our 20 month old collie loved it even more than us! Really enjoyed the whole week and apart from hotspots was quiet on the little side roads and places like Langdales - and do the drive over Hardknott if you dare! Corn Cottage is a gem!

- David, June 2022
Julie May 2022

“We loved the cottage, lovely views from every window.”

Inside was gorgeous and there was a generous supply of logs and kindling included for the woodburner which we enjoyed lighting in the evening. Outside was a lovely little garden with the added bonus of a summerhouse to sit in. Owners were welcoming and on hand if needed. An absolutely perfect place to stay.

- Julie, May 2022
Susan April 2022

“Beautiful cottage with all you need for a relaxing holiday.”

- Susan, April 2022
Derrick March 2022

- Derrick, March 2022
Emma March 2022

“Lovely cottage, tastefully decorated, very clean and well equipped.”

Lovely walks direct from the cottage.

- Steve, February 2022
Samantha February 2022

“Corn cottage was delightful.”

We really enjoyed the log burner and the cosy atmosphere. The under floor heating in the bathroom was most welcome too. Another great feature of the cottage is its proximity to great walks straight from the front door which was most useful to us as dog owners. Also, we were really grateful for the kind attention of the owners.

- Samantha, February 2022

Fabian October 2021

“Nettes kleines Cottage in guter Lage.”

Leider war das Geschirr nicht ordentlich gespült, so dass ich erst Mal diverse Töpfe und Teller von Hand spülen müsste. Dafür eignet sich das Cottage ideal um von dort zahlreiche Wanderungen zu starten. Nette Vermieter.

- Fabian, October 2021

I am sorry that you found a few pots and pans had not been properly washed. I would have been happy to wash them for you if you had let me know at the time. I am glad you enjoyed visiting the area. Property Owner
Ashley October 2021

“A really cosy place, far off the tourist trail.”

Discovered Ulverston which is a really great, functional town with an amazing indoor market and the most incredible butchers in the high street. And there's a Booths! Only downside was the absence of a washing machine but you can't have everything!

- Ashley, October 2021
Deborah September 2021

Host met us on arrival and left us to enjoy our holiday would definitely return.

Anne May 2021

“A perfect little gem of a cottage which had everything we would need for our stay.”

The Owners of the cottage were super helpful and friendly. The cottage was very homely and the fire was amazing!

Thank you for an amazing week away.

- Catherine, October 2020

- Stephen, September 2020
David September 2020

“Frequent visitors and knew what were booking.”

Still the same positive interaction with owners and the overall experience was again thoroughly enjoyable and relaxing. Only negative was the sofa was uncomfortable and could do with replacing. However, this wouldn't stop us returning for another enjoyable vacation.

- David, September 2020
Helen September 2020

“Lovely cottage in a beautiful area.”

Although nearer to a busy road than we thought the noise was not an issue as we might have expected. Overall a great base for walking and trips out

“Well located cottage with lovely walks from the door very cosy with log burner and well equipped for an enjoyable holiday will visit in the future.”

- Arthur, August 2020
Donna July 2020

“Lovely cottage that was a great location for lots of walks.”

Owners seemed very helpful and I’m sure if we had needed anything they would have helped. Cottage was fully stocked. Location was quiet and peaceful and the summer house in the garden was wonderful. If we were being REALLY picky the fridge was small and therefore lots of the food didn’t fit and there was nothing available to light the fire. But we would be more than happy to return as it was a lovely week in a lovely cottage.

- Donna, July 2020
Tim July 2020

“Really enjoyed it.”

Whilst advertised with no washing machine it would have been great if there had been one. But I understand there may not be anywhere to put it.

“Really lovely cottage and tranquil location.”

Considering the weather was so hot during our stay the cottage remained cool which was great. On arrival we really appreciated the tray left out with flapjacks and the jug of milk in the fridge, it's the little things that mean a lot.

- George, July 2019
Mark June 2019

“This cottage is simply perfect as a base for touring the lakes on your bike or car and as a walker we had a fantastic week.”

About the location

WATER YEAT, CONISTON WATER

Torver 3 miles; Coniston 6 miles; Ulverston 8 miles.

Water Yeat is a small hamlet in the Crake Valley, not far from the shores of Allan Tarn, featured in Arthur Ransome's book Swallows And Amazons as Octopus Lake, and a 10 minute walk from the shores of Coniston Water in the beautiful Lake District National Park. At the southern tip of Coniston Water, where Allan Tarn turns into the Crake River, lie the Hamlets of Water Yeat and Nibthwaite. Coniston Water, one of the most imposing and beautiful English Lakes, is situated to the west of Lake Windermere. To the northern end of the lake, the pretty village of Coniston is surrounded by some of the most beautiful scenery in the Lake District National Park and makes a superb base for touring Hawkshead, the Langdales, Ambleside and Windermere. Also in the area is Beacon Tarn, featured on Britain’s Favourite View and also reached when venturing along the Long Distance Path of Cumbria Way. Beacon Tarn is a wonderfully tranquil place and well worth a visit. Superb walking, mountain biking and climbing are available locally on Coniston Old Man, Tilberthwaite and Wetherlam, while Grizedale Forest offers lovely woodland trails. The quiet lake is ideal for dinghy sailing and canoeing, or a leisure cruise on the beautiful steam yacht 'Gondola'. Visit the Beatrix Potter Gallery at Hawkshead, Tarn Hows, one of the most visited beauty spots in the country, or Esthwaite Water, famous for its fishing.
