Wonderful family holiday home in peaceful location

We all thoroughly enjoyed our family stay in this well-equipped, comfortable, spacious and well-designed holiday home for family or friends groups close to the beautiful peaceful southern end of Coniston Water. Good range of local pubs and good provisioning in Ulverston nearby.

Beautiful property and setting

We stayed for a week in September - the accommodation was lovely and the lounge was splendid. Had a wood burner going a couple of nights and it was lovely and snuggly. Would go back in a heartbeat. Great location too so all pluses. Would be fab for a large group.

Has everything you need in a stunning location.

What a fantastic place! There were 7 adults and dog in our party and everyone enjoyed their time there the whole layout is great. we sat around the kitchen table talking and playing games when not out and about seeing the local areas. The ladies loved the Victoria bath, the blokes had no chance, maybe next time. Would recommend staying.

Stunning house and perfect family get together

Beautiful house! So much space for us all to get together without being under each others' feet. Really well equipped and so spacious. Great communication with the owner who very promptly deal with a small problem. Lots of great small touches like a games box and walking routes. Couldn't fault it!

Excellent property

We had a fantastic stay at Charcoal House and were really impressed by the property and how well-equipped it was. The Nook is an excellent feature that allows everyone to stay connected but also provides for some independence for members of the group if required. The lounge upstairs is very large and provides lovely views as the sun goes down. The garden was a real bonus (we were lucky to have sunny weather all week) with good outdoor furniture provided. Overall, very impressed and would stay there again.

Fantastic house

Charcoal house is gorgeous - spacious, but cosy at the same time. The kitchen was really well equipped which really helps. All the beds were kingsize and one was even bigger, so we slept well! It rained a fair bit over the weekend, so we didn't see any views, which was a shame, but we enjoyed ourselves despite this. It would have been perfect if the pub had been a bit nearer!

Loved it!

Charming and comfortable home in beautiful setting. Simon was both helpful and prompt in communication. Americans beware that a UK king bed is considerably smaller than US king bed and the Aga stove keeps the downstairs a bit too warm in summer.

Fabulous would highly recommend

We felt at home the moment we arrived. Even better in reality than in the photos (which are good) . Lovely aga warmed kitchen. Delightful garden. Living room was a wow and so comfy. Beautiful views from the bedrooms. Very quiet situation and near to so much. Recommend the Manor House to have dinner and Swallows & Amazons cafe just up the road ((by car) to just hang out and take in the stunning views (and lunch) . Will definitely be telling my friends and family to stay at Charcoal House.

Amazing Stay

The whole property is as mentioned on the description and perfect for a getaway. It had everything we needed and more. The property was spotless with all appliances functioning properly. Very good location for walks and trips to the caves and lakes in the area. Good neighbours and quite peaceful. Would 100% recommend and visit again.

Review of Charcoal House

This is a beautiful property. It is extremely well-equipped and furnished. All the furnishings are very good quality and the beds, sofas and chairs are very comfortable. We found it very spacious for our family group of 8, ranging in age from 6 to 70. The garden is separated by a driveway but this was not a problem and, despite not having very good weather, the children still made the most of the lovely garden area.

Warm and Comfortable Charcoal House

We were three couples of retired, old friends who get together once a year. Charcoal House was just right for our needs. A warm and inviting home from home. Well equipped for storing food and cooking meals. Nice big comfortable beds and three bath/shower rooms. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
