  The property's location was perfect for me and also dog friendly too.

  So peaceful (silence and no light poution), beautiful views, and not too far from a couple of pubs and the village of Hawkshead. The field adjoining the property was perfect to let my dog Minnie, have a safe run around. I stopped in the Coniston accommodation which was perfect for me, very clean and very comfortable. I had previously read reviews that highlighted that you could hear some noise from the flat above but i accepted that risk when I booked. My lived experience was that during the first 4 days (of my 6 day stay) I heard very little. My last 2 nights was slightly more challenging though. Dont get me wrong, I didn't feel like I had part of the Riverdance dance troop staying above me but the level of noise did increase. Im not sure what the owners can do, other than let the flat above be very aware that not wearing clogs would be more than appreciated by those downstairs. I would advise that if you are easily irritated by any noise from above, then the Coniston isnt for you. I will be going back for sure.

  Stunning location.

  The accommodation is not luxurious but it is comfortable and spotlessly clean. The garden is great for dogs and children but although there have obviously been tubs for bedding plants in the past these were no longer in use. It did look a little lacking in TLC as a result. My husband has limited mobility and although Coniston is not specifically adapted for disabled people he was able to manoeuvre his walker around inside with no problem and use the shower with the suction grab handles that we brought with us. The only issues that we had were a) not enough toilet paper - there is an "allowance" of 2 rolls so if you think that you are going to use more then bring some with you! b) We had very heavy winter weight duvets, we asked if they had any summer ones but they did not but we were supplied with an extra sheet to use with the bedspread. If we continue to get such hot summers then this is maybe something the managers of the accommodation would like to consider. We will certainly return

  A lovely, cosy, tastefully decorated (love the bathroom) and well kept cottage in the heart of Hawkshead village and nearby local facilities.

  Ideal for walks or biking out into the surrounding countryside and fells and with easy access by car for south lakeland. Well placed for access to the Windermere and Bowness ferry by car, Grizedale Forest, Ambleside, Coniston, the Langdales, etc. The beautiful Cumbrian coast beyond Ulverston towards Roa Island is also within an hour's driving distance via Newby Bridge. Free overnight car parking with the permit provided is just a brief walk away on a residents' section of the village car park. We've stayed twice now and parking outside to load and unload hasn't been an issue and there have been no problems overnight on the village car park. The cottage is very well kitted out for a small property and is fully heated with a combi-boiler, central heating and a very welcome wood burner, but there are necessary compromises in the open plan kitchen and lounge area: for example there's high breakfast bar but no dining table. As ever, it's advisable check the photos and listing before booking.

  The appartment was immaculately clean and well appointed.

  It was right on the waterfront as advertised. We really enjoyed being so close to the ferry and watching the visitors come and go. A small complementary hamper was a really nice touch. The views were amazing with large windows overlooking the lake. A large bedroom with a kingsize bed seemed a luxury in a relatively modest accomodation. Excellent spacey bathroom. Great little verandah on the waters edge. A really useful foreshore to launch our inflatable kayak. Parking directly outside. Two problems. We found the kitchen almost unusable because of the high tech appliances - no physical switches, dials or buttons on the cooker, dishwasher and washing machine. We really didn't fancy spending half our holiday reading instruction manuals. The technology we really needed we didn't get. The wifi went down for two days at a time when we needed to have zoom meetings.

  We had a lovely week at the apartment and surrounding area.

  The apartment suited the two of us perfectly and is quite well situated for the west side of the lake in particular. The apartment was well equipped with a comfortable bed. It had a nice quiet outlook from both lounge level and from the upstairs bedroom which was being improved at the time with shrub/trees in front of the balcony having a much needed trim. Parking was okay but at busy ferry times it could be a little awkward getting out (or in) as the queue parks right in front of the apartments spaces. The 'keep clear' sign writing on the road is virtually non-existent. For potential frequent users the car ferry was £6 each way and pedestrians £1 each way. Lovely walk along the lake's west side to Wray Castle, 8 miles round walk. Would go back to the apartment in future.
