The location is highly praised for its beauty, tranquillity, and proximity to walks and local attractions. The scenic and peaceful environment is a highlight for many visitors.
The cottage is described as cosy, warm, and comfortable, with special mentions of comfy beds and a welcoming atmosphere. A few comments about the second bedroom's low ceiling suggest slightly reduced comfort for some guests.
Facilities are generally well-regarded, especially the hot tub. However, some guests mention issues with Wi-Fi and a desire for better maintenance of certain amenities, slightly lowering the score.
Several reviews express appreciation for thoughtful touches like a pre-lit fire upon arrival and a homemade cake. While these gestures are warmly received, they may not be guaranteed for every stay.
About this property
This Rural location is set in the foothills of beautiful Lakeland mountains, near the National Trust's Tarn Hows and in peaceful countryside, Tilberthwaite Farm Cottage is the prime location for exploring the lake district. This cosy getaway welcomes a family holiday or a lovely break for a group of friends looking to explore all the area has to offer. Head straight into the sitting room and get toasty by the fire on a cold winter's night, later moving across to the dining area for a hearty meal cooked up in the kitchen. Climb the stairs, and from the window on the landing you can see right across luscious green farmland over to Wetherlam, the most northerly of the Coniston Fells. You have a master bedroom occupying a king-size double bed and lovely glimpses over the farmyard and the valley, the perfect scene to wake up to each morning when you draw open the curtains. Next, the twin room is ideal for those travelling with kids and the family bathroom offers a deep-soaking bathtub with a shower over. To the rear of the property there is a seating area perfect to sit with a drink watching the traditional rare breed Hardwick sheep on the lake district fells while you ooze in the natural ambiance all around you. Make the most of the glorious scenery and explore the area on foot or by bike, there are some fabulous routes to take right on the doorstep such as the famous Hodge Close and Cathedral Quarry where you can stop off for a drink at the Three Shires Pub in Little Langdale. Tarn Hows is a lovely circular walk to be taken at whatever pace you fancy, with ever-changing views season-to-season and spots for picnicking with your family and friends. Coniston is a charming village close by with traditional pubs and a few handy shops, dominated by The Old Man of Coniston, which rises dramatically behind stone-built houses. It beckons walkers and climbers, as well as those looking to get out on Coniston Water, one of the most beautiful areas of the Lake District. You are in a wonderful location for touring the ancient Grizedale Forest, Lake Windermere and the delightful town of Ambleside, a superb getaway not to be missed!
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. For watersports enthusiasts, the quiet lake is ideal for dinghy sailing and canoeing, whilst the less active can enjoy a leisure cruise on the steam yacht 'Gondola’. Tarn Hows is one of the most visited beauty spots in the country, while Esthwaite Water is known for its fishing.

The location was stunning although the road to get there was interesting. Be aware when taking your dog that there is not enclosed area so be aware that there are sheep wondering free by the property. The garden area was not as the photo so a little surprised.

It is comfortable, charming and pretty with every modern facility including new bathroom, kitchen and efficient heating. Good wifi and Freeview TV. Spacious bedroom with lots of hanging and drawer space. Although the welcome folder had all the basic info with emergency phone numbers etc it was very untidy and should be refreshed. The walking maps were unreadable. 4 adults may find the cottage a bit of a squeeze - the second bedroom has a very low sloping ceiling and the layout of the main room, although spacious, does not leave much room for the dining table. It is perfect for couples and families with children.
