Cottage holiday rentals in Coniston Water

What a wonderful place for a peaceful break away. The house was so comfortable with all the amenities needed. The hot tub was a lovely addition too! My son, who loves wildlife photography, absolutely adored the river. He spent every possible moment down there photographing Kingfishers! I would definitely recommend to anyone who loves birds and wildlife.

Beautiful location for a lovely farm stay, great views from the hot tub! Loved being able to watch the cows and sheep. Claire was lovely and was ready to help at any moment despite us arriving so late at night! Highly recommend and will definitely be coming back!

Beautiful home, very spacious and plenty of amenities. felt right at home! perfect for toddlers too. Ian was great, very helpful and easily contactable.

We arrived on the Friday for a 3 night stay. The Barn is in a beautiful place inside and out. The Hot Tub was lovely on an evening and the patio fire was great to sit around for drinks early evening watching the Sun go down. Casterton village is only a couple of miles from Kirkby Lonsdale. The village its self had a gorgeous pub 7 mins walk from the Barn which had a great range of food and served Sourdough pizza on Sunday evening after 1700hrs with a lovely warm atmosphere and open fires. There is a great taxi service and some fabulous restaurants near to the Barn. The Black Bull and the Highwayman were fabulous. (We did go to Number 9 also and it was not somewhere I could recommend, service and food really poor.) Patrick and Anika were great responsive hosts and this is a do not miss property, that offers every you need for a fabulous stay. Our little group loved it. Thank you Karen, Denise and Naomi

We have just returned from a few nights away staying at this little piece of paradise. If you’re after a tranquil, relaxing holiday then this is the place to stay. From the house itself, to the spectacular views , the amazing pool house and the lovely, friendly neighbours, this place ticks all the boxes and more. Highly recommend visiting The Queens Arms for a meal (or just a cheeky drink), the staff are so friendly and just made our time away extra special. Malham is only a 20 min (ish) drive away and is stunning (a must see). The only thing I would advise is to make sure you take plenty of supplies (or do an online shop for delivery as we did) as the local shop is a 20min drive away. Thankyou again David, we will definitely be back.

We had the best stay! Lisa’s home is beautiful and cosy. We felt relaxed as soon as we stepped in. Lisa was extremely thoughtful to have left us a welcome gift for us and our dogs The dogs loved the blankets provided and the extra treats The beds were so comfortable and clean. Everything was spotless Lisa was kind enough to offer an earlier check in on the day. We climbed Scaffell pike and went to Seascale Beach. It was a perfect stay with family Would hugely recommend !!

Hermitage cottage was in a beautiful situation right on the river Lune. The cottage was clean and tidy. We enjoyed the hot tub, the barbecue and the outdoor seating. We were extremely fortunate with the weather and really enjoyed our stay. Walks around the estate were lovely. It is a lovely base to explore the Forest of Bowland and surrounding areas.

A real gem of a cottage with fantastic views. Host was very proactive, helpful and friendly. Local town had good amenities. We enjoyed our stay immensely. Would love to return.

The cottage was exactly what was listed and what we were looking for. The Host was always responsive and friendly with many helpful details. The cottage is cosy and in beautiful surroundings with friendly neighbours. It also is well equipped for short or long stays. We will definitely recommend and hopefully come back soon! Thank you

We had a lovely couple of days at Ian’s cottage. Ian was a very responsive and communicative host. The cottage was exactly as described, well equipped and clean with very comfortable beds and a lovely bathroom. It’s in a great location-ten minutes walk into the centre of the village where there were three great cafes, a chip shop ( unfortunately closed when we were there!) amongst other amenities. It’s also only ten minutes or so to Windermere. We would recommend a stay here!

Zoe was great in communicating and the property is indeed a rare find. The garden was unique and our Labrador loved it.

this cottage is perfect for a little family retreat, my daughter loved seeing bits of the farm and some animals roaming around, me and my wife loved how secluded it was peaceful and quiet. comfortable interior thought all rooms and great host, lots of local attractions for all ages highly recommended

We had a fantastic stay at Knott's View; the cottage was lovely, the garden a sun trap, and the surroundings were beautiful. We enjoyed lots of walks straight from the door - so many loops, including Gowbarrow Fell with amazing views of Ullswater and then back through Aira Force waterfalls late one sunny evening. The pub opposite is good for a pint and pub food, and we visited Keswick (great tapas restaurant) and Pooley Bridge too, as well as Grenridding - all 10 to 20 min drive. Chris and Ruth were really helpful throughout.

The cottage was stunning and in a beautiful setting, ideally located for getting to and around the lake. Highly recommend for a family get away for beautiful scenery and tranquility.

we had a lovely stay. The cottage is much larger that it looks in the pictures. It has all the things you could need for a great stay. The area is beautiful, and the garden is lovely. it is worth noting that the garden is not enclosed, so if you have dogs, they cannot be off the lead in the garden. however, there is a large secure field with woods about a minute from the cottage.

Amanda’s very comfortable home is perfectly situated in the small friendly town of Broughton in Furness - perfect for exploring the southern lakes. Easy local walks along the old railway line, and the Broughton Towers estate. A lovely couple of pubs - the Old Kings Head provided an outstanding Sunday lunch, great cafe, butcher, newsagent, bakery and local small food store. We had easy access to Coniston and Windermere and surrounding countryside. Amanda’s home is quiet, comfortable, well equipped and maintained.

We loved our time at the cottage, a lovely clean, comfortable, homely and inviting space with all the mod cons too. Loved the peaceful surroundings, the gorgeous scenery and walks and its proximity to wonderful sights, convenient shopping and delicious options for eating out. We’re going to miss sharing a drink with the cows and watching the horses in the far fields. Heaven! Try David’s recommendations, none disappointed, but do the walk from Skelwith Bridge before indulging in the treats at Chester’s. The Mason’s arms was also a lovely lunch spot with beautiful views. Would love to return!

A fab stay at Chapel Cottage. Perfect base to explore the Lake District with everything we needed for a lovely stay. Lots of great recommendations for places to walk and swim which we loved. Thankyou Mary!

We had a lovely relaxing stay in Angela's high-end cottage.. Excellent location for walking. Peaceful, light sitting room (on 1st floor) with lovely views of the hills. Great beds. Warm house. Good showers. Easy walk down into town, and up into the Coppermine's Valley (gateway to the Coniston fells).

We had a fantastic stay here. It was very last minute due to our other accommodation being canceled, but luckily Joanna was quick to communicate and reassure us that the accommodation would be ready for check-in on the day we booked. Thanks, Oli & Meg

We had a wonderful stay at The Place. The location is breathtaking, and the house itself is perfect - every detail is beautiful and well thought-out, and Lucy had provided anything one could think of. Everything was of very high quality, from the bed linen and towels to the kitchen equipment. We were all adults, but if you have children, there are lots of toys, games, and activities, so that even on rainy days, there is plenty to do. Great walks nearby, perfect both for those who like hills and those who prefer flatter ground - Buttermere and Crummock are wonderful low ground walks, and of course the walk though Holme Woods to the Kirkstile is lovely. Thanks, Lucy and Nick!

Lovely stay at Mark and Janette’s cosy cottage. Great location on the outskirts of Coniston, with the old railway line path perfectly positioned for a walk in to the village. Cottage is well equipped and has a really comfy bed. Enjoyed some lovely walks. Thank you both for a lovely stay.

Robinson Place Farm is an idyll. The setting is perfect. Everything is thought out and carefully chosen with an eco/sustainable ideal. That doesn't mean hair shirt, that means sheepskin throws and a wood burner, water from the fell, swifts in the eaves. The house is immaculate and unbelievably comfortable. We had a party of six adults and there was more than enough room for everyone. The sofas in the living room were cushy, perfect for looking out at dual aspect views. The kitchen was well equipped with a big table and local coffee. Everyone slept like babies in the top quality beds and linen. There are two bathrooms which was great. We cannot express enough how stylish but also how homely and comfortable this place is. Jennie was friendly, welcoming and helpful and hats off to her and her lovely kids. Perched on the side of the valley there are great walks straight from the door and Ambleside is a short drive (10 mins tops) if you need a fix of civilisation.

Amazing house with lots of history, a great place to get away, enjoy some hiking and get cosy by the fire. No signal or wifi so come prepared. Would love to stay again the next time we're in the Lakes!
