  Overall very happy with our stay in this cottage.

  The secludedness, peace tranquility, fantastic views and location of the cottage far outweigh any of the following, which I hope to be constructive criticism. Cottage would benefit from with a little updating and massive spring clean. It's only a 3 star so did not expect luxury but parts of it could've been cleaner, alot of cobwebs in kitchen corners, doorways, windows, edges of windows particularly velux in top bedroom which still had cracked glass with tape over. All that aside it was very well equipped (again some grubby utensils which we had to wash before use) with everything we needed in THE HEATWAVE week we were there. Couldn't get any hot water from kitchen tap or bathroom tap (luckily shower ok) so false economy as had to boil kettle to wash up. Bit too remote for us, long single track driveway tricky but did match description so we knew this. Again all this aside the positives are we had a great holiday stay, there were only 2 of us, ok for 4 but think would be a struggle with 6.

  The location is lovely and has plenty of walks straight from the property.

  We would stay again .Property was a little tired, cutlery , crockery and pans could do with replacing , curtain in lounge hanging off hook , one light bulb needs replacing in the lounge , bath panel cracked on corner . Otherwise comfortable as you would expect from a old cottage . The step coming out of the rooms a little dangerous, my 3 year old Grandson came out of the bathroom with his mum missed the step and came down the stairs like a rag doll . Luckily he bounced and did not sustain any injuries. If anyone is going to stay make sure you take water with you for drinking, cooking , brushing you teeth etc water at the cottage is not drinkable . We arrived at 5pm and needed to go into Coniston to get water . After a incredibly long journey by car from Bournemouth we just wanted a cup of tea . It would be a nice gesture to leave 2 bottles for guests on arrival day .

  We had a very enjoyable holiday at Holme Ground Cottage.

  The cottage is very comfortable although there is limited storage space in the kitchen. There are some very nice walks from the cottage eg to The Three Shires Inn at Little Langdale or to Holme Fell. We will definitely be returning. The one point that I would note is that the description on the Sykes website refers twice to a welcome tray with coffee, tea, milk and wine. A bottle of wine was indeed provided, but not tea, coffee or milk. This did not affect us. (We brought our own coffee, tea and milk.) However, if a visitor arrived late at night expecting to be able to make a cup of tea or coffee they would be very disappointed. This was also noted by several visitors in the visitor's book for the property. I suggest that either the description on the Sykes website is corrected or the welcome tray described is actually provided.

  We enjoyed a wonderful stay over the New Year.

  The cottage has a lovely view east towards the lake and it's only a 5-10 minute walk to the local shops, cafes and restaurants. We parked at Old Station Car Park as the roads were icy and narrow. The fire kept us cosy during the evenings, though we had to stock up on a lot of wood as it burns through it quickly. The bedrooms were comfortable, and the shower perfectly hot and powerful. We opted to take our recycling home with us as everything has to go in 1 bin to be sorted at the waste depot, and we felt more comfortable ensuring it was handled separately. We'd certainly come back to the cottage and to Coniston on a future holiday.
