Bluebird Lodge and Waterhead Apartment

10/10 Excellent

"Nice compact room ideal for me and the dog staff excellent carnt do enough for you,, clean room lovely views, excellent breakfast one of the best cooked breakfasts I've ever had.. 👍"

The Hive at Poppi Red

10/10 Excellent

"We were greeted by a lovely, friendly guy who gave us the code for our room and warned us about the low ceiling when exiting the bathroom. The room was lovely, cosy and spotlessly clean. I personally loved the wallpaper, and the beds were very comfortable. My partner, however, clearly wasn’t paying attention. 藍 After using the bathroom, he came down the steps and BANG — hit his head. I reminded him we’d literally just been warned about it. You’d think that would be the end of it. It wasn’t. Throughout the evening, he proceeded to hit his head a further FOUR TIMES, bringing the grand total to FIVE. There is even a sign saying “MIND YOUR HEAD.” At this point, I have confirmed my suspicions that my partner is, in fact, a raving idiot. Unless there was a member of staff standing there holding a flashing neon sign saying “MIND YOUR HEAD, YOU ABSOLUTE PLONKER”, I genuinely believe he’d have carried on until he eventually sustained brain damage. 😂 Thankfully, it had absolutely no negative consequences for me as I’m only 5ft tall. In fact, watching it unfold provided some of the entertainment highlights of our stay. 藍 This is absolutely NOT a negative review! Lovely hotel, beautiful decor, cosy historic town, comfy beds and some great pubs serving good food within walking distance. Highly recommend — just mind your head. And if you’re travelling with an idiot like my partner, pack a helmet. 😂❤️ Thank you for a lovely stay! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (one for each bump)"

The Sun

10/10 Excellent

"Very pleasant stay."

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Outstanding refurbished home in the heart of Coniston Village

10/10 Excellent

"Really clean, well equipped cottage, very central and convenient. Plenty of room and very comfortable. Felt like staying in a home with lovely furnishings and kitchenwaters, not just a rental with tatty basics. Very weloming of our dog.Hosts very kind, provided lots of information, maps etc (perhaps better as seperate documents as we know the area well and didnt need any of it). The only thing that would improve it is a place for wet coats/boots by either door to stop you dripping everywhere. Be aware it's a family bathroom on 2nd floor and shower room on ground floor, with bedrooms on 1st and 2nd floors which worked fine for us."

1 Bed Flat - Sleeps 4 - Garden - Parking - Wifi

"Great property for 3 people. It was well equipped very clean . Location perfect for Hawkeshead for all amenities. Will definitely return."

YHA Hawkshead - Hostel

8/10 Good

"Stayed in shared dorm. Ok for 1st 2 nights. But 3rd night absolutely awful as there were 3 loud snorers in residence. So very little sleep. Continental breakfast q good. Annoying how they keep asking for a charity donation at each purchase"

Sleep 6, 3 bedroom Lake District Cottage, close to village, lake and beautiful walks

10/10 Excellent

"There was no check-in - just a key code - which worked. Didn’t actually need more than that. The driveway is crazy narrow - I’d estimate .5 inches clearance from the stone walls of the nearly adjoining homes that shared this driveway. "

2 bedroom accommodation in Coniston

"Excellent cottage, would certainly recommend to others.Many thanks."
