Rowlandson Ground Cottage

Gorgeous cottage set in fantastic gardens and woodland. The hosts Alan and Marie where very nice and could not help us enough with recommendations for walks and places to eat at of an evening (we would recommend Steam and the Drunken Duck). They were also very happy for us to walk around their amazing garden and take in the magnificent views of Coniston water and the surrounding mountains. We are already thinking when we can revisit. Thank you again for a great weekend.

We visited in March so the cottage was I little cool when we first arrived, but it soon warmed up and was very cosy.

Fantastic location and beautiful quirky cottage. Coniston is in a stunning area of the lakes and the cottage in beautiful private grounds. The hosts are very welcoming and friendly. The cottage is well equipped and warm.

The beds weren't the most comfortable which was a shame. Having a shower was a bit of a challenge for the taller members of our family, but this is what makes the cottage quirky so not really an issue - stronger water pressure would have helped with this, but again, we understand its an old cottage! A washing machine would be a useful addition if we were staying any longer, especially travelling with kids and doing water sports. And, this isn't a complaint, but the hosts can't respond to text messages so it's better to call the hosts directly rather than message - I suggest this is made clearer in the info provided once the cottage is booked to avoid any confusion.

Location was amazing. Host fantastic. The cottage also great.

Cutlery could be better and location of shower somewhat difficult. However, that said I totally understand due to age of property, beams etc and space available for shower. Didn’t put me off the house or stay👍👍

Beautiful setting in the hosts wonderful garden where all you can hear is the stream and the birds. Very well located for the lakes and great walks without the need for the car, Coniston is a 30 minute walk along a woodland path.

There is nothing not to like.
