Coniston House

The king bed we slept in for 3 nights was broken. Was fixed but broke again straight away.

Location. Good standard of accommodation.

Only 1 shower which was practically unusable. Time and effort needed to use hot tub. Parking spaces very limited.

Good location to get anywhere from and to walk locally. Very near small Co-op shop. Nice welcoming basket including milk and wine in fridge, flowers, comfortable seating, good size bedrooms, high quality bed linen and pillows. Three bathrooms with good water pressure. Great garden for dogs (can' t get out). Reasonable kitchen. We liked being able to walk to local restaurant. It was good that we had a phone number to call if we needed anything. We only used it to get the key safe code.

Unfortunately the dishwasher didn't work so we kept having to wash up, could have done with more crockery/glasses. We were warned of this the day of arrival. Bathrooms were nice but no shower units, just shower hoses in the baths so easy to spray everywhere but water pressure great. Rickety bath taps in main bathroom. When someone was showering, the downpipe flowed partly into garden yard. Needs attention. In spite of these things which some more demanding people would have been put off by we did enjoy staying in this house. Main thing I was uneasy about was we had to phone upon arrival for door safe code. All our phones were short of charge and if it had meant sending an email there was poor signal. I was worried about this and did ask for the code earlier on but it was not forthcoming, but I did get a message to say I would get it at some point. Traffic really noisy rush hour on Monday morning and big lorries were driving through in the early hours of Monday morning which disrupted sleep. Have to balance out the noise nusance with main road location good for shops/restaurants.

The cottage was lovely and was in a fabulous location. Very comfortable cottage with all amenities necessary. My only complaint would be that the smallest bedroom is a little on the small side and if you want a shower cubicle you will be disappointed. Overall though i would wholly recommend.

We didn’t realise that you had to fill the hot tub yourself as one of us had put a bag on top of the guest information folder on arrival. Hence we found an empty hot tub and didn’t use at all…had we realised that we had to fill it ourselves it definitely would have been used.

Location

Head height in the top floor bathroom (shower) and bedroom.

great location. spotlessly clean.

Location very good, welcome Box was nice surprise. Kitchen well equipped.

Showers were difficult, maybe better removing bath and installing a walk in shower.
