House vacation rentals in The Old Man of Coniston

We had an amazing stay! The cottage was just as described and in the perfect location so we hardly had to use the car at all and were able to walk to Windermere, Bowness and Brockhole with our two girls ( 13 and 8). The use of the nearby pool was an added bonus after a day in the mountains. We’ll definitely be back! 😀

This place was beyond our expectations. Immaculately presented, super clean, tidy, jaw dropping views. I can't fault it in any way and I can't rate it highly enough. Will definately look to return in the future. Stunning!

We have just returned from a lovely weekend at Badgers Rest. The home was beautifully clean, had everything we needed and in a great location. The facilities were amazing nearby too.

The lodge was fabulous, really enjoyed our stay. I even picked up a couple of decor ideas. Had a lovely time feeding the ducks, swans and other wildlife, very relaxing. Shops and amenities easy to get to by car, lovely restaurants around the area. Would absolutely recommend.

Absolutely stunning property, clean, comfortable and extremely well presented, wish we’d stayed longer, we will return. Thanks Cathy for being a great host.

House was as described, beautiful setting with wonderful views of the hills and mountains. Rooms are spacious with comfy beds and bathrooms are nicely finished with good showers. Kitchen is a good size and has all required implements. A great location for exploring the central lakes and soaking up all that Ambleside has to offer.

Our family had a lovely stay at Burrowbank at the end of the summer holiday. The house is fantastic with all the facilities you could ask for. The kids loved the swings and most of all the pool, while the covered (heated) BBQ area meant evening meals outside watching the sunset. Great location and setting, very private and we would definitely come again and recommend to others. Martyn and Christine were very helpful and went the extra mile (even posting my daughter’s disposable camera that she left behind). Can’t think of any negatives and we made some great/happy memories.

Great location, lots for the kids to do. Would definitely return.

stunning cottage nothing around but was central for most of lakes area no power just after we arrived whole area down but not a problem if u want quiet comfy stay this is place beautiful and would highly recommend x

We had a fantastic time and Dwarf Studio was just perfect. It was clean, bright and so comfortable. It had everything we needed and had a real luxurious feel to it. The bed was so comfortable and Julie had really gone the extra mile to make our stay, right from the moment we first walked the door absolutely perfect. I would recommend this to everyone and will certainly stay here again.

This is just a stunning place - situated in a beautiful valley with views of the far mountains. House was full of character, all amenities we wanted were there, and just loved being able to walk from the house.

We have just returned home from 4 nights at Julie's ex-guesthouse and we absolutely loved it. We were a group of 5 adults, a 9 year old and 18 month old and there was space for all of us. Each room has its own ensuite and the kitchen is well stocked. The whole place was very clean and the utility room is also massive which helps if you need to do any washing while staying there. We will definitely look to use Julie's place again in the future. Julie replied in good time to any messages and is very friendly. Highly recommend as a great place to get around the Lakes from too.

We had a wonderful stay here and made amazing memories. The surroundings were stunning, and we felt right at home. We loved the cottage and the little touches made the stay even better - the brownies were to die for. Rosie was a great host, and we’d love to come back in the near future.

Sarah war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Wir haben uns richtig wohl gefühlt in ihrem Zuhause. Schade das nur eine Übernachtung in diesem Zeitraum frei war.

Frances & Sarah could not have been better hosts. Responded quickly with useful information about parking as we planned on arriving early. Cottage was beautiful, perfect for a family of 4 plus a dog. The kitchen was really big and well stocked with anything we would have needed. The welcome package was a lovely touch, beds were comfy, was quiet and lots of eating out options in walking distance. Plenty of low level or more challenging walks available without driving anywhere. We’d love to come again!

We had a wonderful stay at Andrew’s place. The house is full of charm, combining historic character with modern comforts. Everything was spotless, well-equipped, and thoughtfully arranged. The location was peaceful yet well-connected, making it a great base for exploring the Lake District. Check-in was smooth with clear instructions, and the Wi-Fi worked perfectly. Andrew was responsive and made us feel very welcome. Highly recommend this home to anyone visiting the area — we’d definitely stay again!

Wow, wow, wow. Absolutely perfect! Delightful cottage in a peaceful, private location but a short distance from Windermere and Bowness. The property was spotless, comfortable, and had everything we needed. Stunning views. We are already planning our next stay!

Such a gorgeous stay away in Cumbria, the place was so tidy and cozy, it had everything you could need - so many amenities! It is located inbetween other buildings but still managed to feel very private, and had stunning views around. It is quite remote and is single track roads down to the property however the hosts were really clear and answered any questions about where we can park etc. It is also only a short drive to either Kendal or Windermere, so really convenient location for a nice day out! We can’t thank the hosts enough for such a lovely stay, would definitely recommend ☺️

It was our first family trip away and one we won’t forget. We had such a wonderful time and the house was perfect for us. Amazing location and had everything we needed. Thanks so much!

It was great definitely coming again when I’m back in lake district

Extremely clean and tidy. Great location and we loved the sustainable products supplied. Brilliant location and Sandi & Rich were really responsive and welcoming - would recommend!!

Me and my girlfriend stayed here for a few days. The cottage was absolutely lovely and super clean with a great selection of appliances and facilities. Louise was very easy to communicate with and very kind. We would definitely recommend!

The cottage was beautiful, the views from every room were stunning. The house was clean and tidy. We loved staying there! Check-in and out were easy. However, if you put the entire address in Google Maps for the cottage it sends you to a different house in Ambleside, so use the post code. Also there is no service in the area so plan the route in advance. Overall, really enjoyed our stay and would love to stay again in the future!

My stay at Ehen Hall was absolutely perfect from start to finish. The host, Susan was incredibly gracious. Communication before my stay was welcomed ensuring that I found the property without a problem. I really appreciated the gesture of a welcome basket which included local goods as well as other goodies; and also the flexibility of arriving a little earlier than anticipated. The apartment within Ehen Hall was amazing, exactly as described. Spotlessly clean and comfortable with a well equipped kitchen. The location was ideal for exploring the western side of the Lakes and there are numerous walks close at hand if you wanted a day without driving. I can also recommend parking at Whitehaven and taking the train to Ravenglass for the Eskdale valley. Overall a truly memorable and enjoyable stay and couldn't recommend the host and accommodation more highly. If I ever visit this part of the Lakes again, I would have no hesitation in returning to Ehen Hall. Thank you Susan.
