Guests that stayed at this property said
There is no specific mention of cleanliness in the reviews, so it is not possible to provide an accurate score.
The location is consistently lauded for being excellent for walking and not too isolated, with easy access to Coniston and local amenities. The proximity to a pub and scenic walks contributes to the high score.
Guests find the property cosy and warm, with comfortable beds and a spacious living/dining area. The property's ability to accommodate a family of five comfortably also indicates a high level of comfort.
The well-equipped kitchen, good Wi-Fi, and lovely garden are frequently mentioned, suggesting that the facilities and maintenance are of a good standard. However, there is no detailed feedback on maintenance, so the score is not perfect.
Guests are pleased with the selection of teas, coffee, and biscuits upon arrival, indicating thoughtfulness. However, as these gifts are not guaranteed for every stay, this is politely noted.

“Great location. Not too busy not too isolated (pub across the road). Some good walks right outside the door which weren’t too strenuous 🙂”

“Excellent location for walking and lovely garden grounds surrounding the property. We had a very relaxed holiday and made the most of the seating area on the old station platform.”
