Very peaceful, beautiful views from the garden. Acorn Cottage has a well equipped kitchen, large fridge freezer, two bathrooms and comfortable beds. Will definitely stay there again.

The property location is breath taking!! Absolutely beautiful and could not have asked for more. There was an issue with the WiFi but I was contacted in advance. We also could not make the shower work whilst there. Otherwise the property was perfect and great value for a beautiful location. I would stay again.

Lovely location for hiking and sightseeing

A beautiful, clean, rural property with tons of character. We appreciated the biscuits and milk left for us. All the amenities worked well and the descriptions in the book were very helpful.

Basic

The cottage is in a lovely location only three miles from Coniston. Close to several fells and interesting quarries it is ideally placed for walking. The inside of the cottage does have some appeal but is tired in appearance, The kitchen is well appointed with implements but is short in some vital things such as a mixing bowl. The plaster above the cooker hood is loose and some fell into one of our cooking pots. The lounge would benefit from a rug on the cold slate floor and the log burner is missing a grate and we ended up almost servicing the vents. It was so log consuming and we felt a better supply of logs could have been provided having paid over £1k for the week rather than enough for one evening. Internet access is poor and if you need to 'work' it was not enough. We couldn't download a film in the evenings. In the main bathroom the bath side was constantly falling off and the towel rail was loose. The water supply was good and constantly warm. The bedrooms were cosy with two double beds, on the first floor the bed is placed such that in a morning you can lay in and enjoy a view of the woodlands opposite. Little notes were left all around the property which was annoying! The worst experience I had however was impaling my foot on a nail from a piece of wood that had been removed during renovations of the shed roof and left abandoned in the long grass next to where the recycling bag was. Fortunately it didn't pierce my foot but did my boot sole. Photographic evidence is available! Would I recommend the cottage? No, but the local area is beautiful. Did I get value for money? Certainly not. I know times are hard and fuel prices are rising but for this cottage I paid a lot more that I did for a better appointed premise last New Year which had a hot tub!

Incredible location

We loved staying in the Acorn Cottage during our holiday in the Lake District. Location of the property is amazing – just mountains, forests and streams. Very spectacular views and tranquility. Plenty of interesting local walks. The property is nicely presented, clean and had everything we needed during our stay. Definitely would consider visiting again.
