“Outrake Cottage 10th-14th Sept 2026”
+Location....just out of town but within a very easy 20 mins walk along a disused railway path. Lovely layout, spacious, big bedrooms, lovely bed linen although feather duvets may not be ideal for anyone with allergies. Free WiFi, two free parking places, complimentary toiletries, excellent high quality towels and plenty of them, dishwasher tablets included. Lovely safe, private garden and lovely views.
−Not enough range or numbers of crockery for 6 people. Shower was temperamental but always worked in the end. Lacking a few kitchen items but we left the owner a list.

+Perfect location, walking distance to the local pub. 3 comfy bedrooms enough room for us, Kiddies and in laws stay
−Drive was horrible to get van into, I wouldnt say 2 cars would fit in there. It was a squeeze and a horrible ramp to get in. It was a bit too oldy woldy for my liking. Few things I think could have been updated/changed.

“Lovely cottage, close to Coniston - would stay again.”
+Clean, comfortable and really well equipped, had everything you could need. Cottage was much bigger than expected and a lovely garden to the side.
−Drive is listed as big enough for two cars but the wood store means it’s only big enough for one now, however we parked the second on the lane immediately opposite and wasn’t a problem as only one further property past this. Being an older cottage it was worn/some damp in areas but nothing major and was cleaned well prior to our stay.

“A lovely location , very peaceful, with walks starting from the property. Good size and space for a party of 6 (4 adults”
+The location. Overall size of the property. View on the nature and remote views on Coniston lake. The very pleasant walk to the Ship inn pub.
−Cleaning standards below average. Towels and bedding were partially ready (the missing bits had been left in the dryer , we realised half stay). The water boiler very noisy adjacent to one bedroom. No fire starter pack.

“Great accommodation in a convenient location for walking and cycling holidays.”
+It was in a good location for our cycling trip. It was clean and cosy. It was well maintained and well furnished to a high standard.
−The frying pan wouldn’t work with the hob, as it wasn’t the right type for the cooker. But all the saucepans worked fine.

“Stylish, affordable base”
+Great location just outside Coniston village. The rooms were all good sizes and the whole house nicely decorated. Check in and out was seamless and we were kindly allowed to check in early. Excellent stay for an affordable price that is hard to find in the Lakes now.
−We just about managed to fit two cars on the drive one day, but it was a squeeze! Some extra info about where to park on the road would be helpful. But a small thing in an otherwise lovely stay.
