The open-plan living space allows you to keep an eye on all of your little ones while cooking in the well-equipped kitchen or planning your next day’s adventure at the sociable dining table.

Very handy, clean cottage. Great location for accessing Furness peninsula & Lakes, although hard to spot when first arrived as unknowingly came from other end of the village (first left after station) & 'Orchard Cottages' signs were on the ground, not eye level. Well-equipped kitchen, nice shower, enough space & storage. Twin room is small - kept bRead moreanging legs getting to further away bed, which is uncomfy. Ended up piling blankets under sheet to not feel springs. Otherwise, nice stay - thanks! Hide

Curtains in the main bedroom could be improved relative to ensuring no early-morning light.

Lovely cottage in a great area. It is very well equipped with everything you would need. The outdoor space was a lovely place to have breakfast and it was very handy having the parking close by. The kitchen is great, really enjoyed using it to cook. The bathroom is really lovely too. Whole place very clean.

Very good spot to access the southern lakes from and also not too far from Ulverston. Parking was also no issue. The cottage was generally clean and well equipped, our main issue was a strong odour of wet dog that remained downstairs the whole week. I appreciate it is a dog friendly property but this might put off non-doggy people if it is persisteRead morent. In the height of summer the upstairs got up to 28 degrees at night so could do with a fan. I liked the bathroom and the kitchen was well equipped. Hide

A lovely Cottage, good location to travel around the lakes. If youre wanting to walk from the front door you need to walk along the road as theres no pavement. The facilities were very good and very clean.

A lovely cottage in a good location. Cottage was roomy enough for us and our dog, the kitchen was well equipped and the lounge had plenty of space. We visited both Coniston and Windermere and surrounding towns and villages. The weather was kind to us which made it easier to get around and see the sights.

Amazing accommodation in a brilliant location to access a lot of the Lake District. A bottle of wine on arrival was a lovely touch. This house has everything you could ask for, the kitchen is better equipped than my home. A recent bathroom refurb has a brilliant shower & the bed is the comfiest for the best nights sleep.
