“An absolutely beautiful cottage with every facility that you could want.”

So comfortable and spotlessly clean. A perfect location for Coniston itself and all the surrounding countryside and walks. Amazing views from the front of the cottage. Friendly and attentive hosts. I would return without a second thought. Highly recommended

“We spent 3 weeks in this beautiful, clean well appointed cottage.”

Our host Sue was super, very helpful but not intrusive. Views were spectacular. Pubs and village in walking distance. Everything we expected and hoped for. Highly recommend this property. Jay and Jan

“The accomodation was ideal for us.”

Enough space to move around and nice and light. Wi-Fi was great and no issues for the length of our stay Beauitul location, great friendly pub right on the door step. Plentitiy of local walks so did not need to use the car. Booked again for next week

“The cottage was very clean and comfortable.”

It was a shame there was no microwave or hairdryer. It would have been nice to have some instructions from the owner on using the hob, rather than having to go through the appliance manual.

- Steve, June 2024

Hi. Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We are glad you found the cottage clean and comfortable. In response to your other comments. There is a separate built in microwave above the oven and a full list off operating instructions for the property located in the kitchen including for the induction hob. We don’t provide a hairdryer as this is not something normally provided in rental properties. Kind regards michael. Property Owner

“2 Lake View is a lovely cottage with a great view over Coniston Water.”

The cottage is well equipped, comfortable and clean and we really enjoyed our stay. Some great walks possible from the door to the Lake, Coniston Fells and Coniston village. Would definitely recommend.

“Great property.”

“Two Lake View is an absolutely lovely cottage, with fantastic views of the lake (as the name implies!”

). And the cottage has been refurbished to a very high standard. As holiday cottage owners ourselves, there are a couple of things I would like to share with the owner. When I took my first shower on our second day of being there, I noticed some quite horrendous damage that had somehow occurred in the shower room. One of the recently tiled walls looked like it had received a huge impact that had cracked the tiles from floor to ceiling, and horizontally from corner to corner. If a guest had done this to our property I would have been distraught. I noticed this damage on the Sunday, and I couldn’t stop from worrying if the owner was aware of this damage. It was not easily noticeable, so I wanted to be assured the owner was aware. We looked for a contact number for Sykes, or the owner, but these were classed as for emergency only. We didn’t consider this an emergency. We found the WhatsApp details, which we tried, but it came back that the message was not received. I would like to see a telephone number, or email address for general enquiries like this. We couldn’t find one. After a couple of days, I stopped worrying, assuming that the owner was aware because it would have been picked up by the efficient changeover team. And I realise we are quite elderly, but we still find microwaves quite useful. For making a cup of milky cocoa before we go to bed, for example. ;). But on the whole, a lovely cottage that we would be proud to own ourselves. And we can see there is still work in progress to make a lovely seating area with views over the lake. Top class. Kind regards, Colin & Caroline.

“The cottage overall was great, great location for walking and enjoying fabulous coniston water.”

Only thing I would say is pillows could do with renewing as found them a bit flat. Everything you need is provided for and parking space provided was excellent. A bit hairy driving out perhaps a mirror to see down the road would be good. Thoroughly enjoyed our short stay and certainly on the list for a return!

- Robert, March 2024

thank you for taking time to write a review and we look forward to seeing you again at our cottage. Thank you for the feeback on the pillows which we replaced that weekend. Property Owner

Walking available from the doorstep. The cottage was well presented and clean and tidy.

“Another relaxing stay at 2 Lakeview cottage .”

We have stayed here many times and the view never ever gets old. Waking up to the beautiful lake view whilst sat in bed having a morning coffee is just perfect. The owner sue is always there to welcome us and is on hand if we need anything. It’s a lovely walk down to the village and the lake where there are plenty of places for food and drink . We will be back next year for sure .

- Carol, November 2023

“We have had a great holiday here.”

The house was clean, warm, comfortable, and well equipped. We had mixed weather,and the house provided us with a cosy base for a lazy morning ,and to return to at the end of a day out in the hills. We enjoyed walking into Coniston village,and down to the lake,as well as a walk up Coniston Old Man.We also liked the close proximity to the Ship Inn which meant we could all go out for a meal without having to worry about driving! The house is in reasonable driving distance of many other popular areas. We visited Ambleside,Tarn Hows, Hawkshead, Grasmere, Elterwater and the Langdales during our stay. We would definitely return.

- Susan, October 2023

“An excellent comfy cottage which included everything we needed.”

..home from home. A lovely patio and views of the lake.

- Elizabeth, August 2023
Jane August 2023

“Lovely property in the perfect location.”

It’s great to be able to sit out and look over Coniston Water. Only thing it would be useful to have known before we went is that the outside space isn’t enclosed so our dog had to be on a lead whenever we went outside. It wouldn’t stop us booking again but it’s handy to know. Really useful having two spaces for parking and it’s a short walk into Coniston. Lots of other places are not far away by car either. The cottage itself was clean, comfortable and really nice. The view from the bedroom is lovely to wake up to. Would definitely recommend and would visit again.

- Jane, August 2023
Danielle August 2023

“We had a great time at 2 Lake View.”

The beds have got to be some of the comfiest we have ever stayed in!! The luxury pillows and bedding was just lovely to sink into after a day of sightseeing or being at the lake. The kitchen was well equipped and having a spare utility room was brilliant. Rain or shine the views when you looked out of the cottage we’re stunning and just what we were after , but it would have been good to know that the patio section of the property was not attached or fully enclosed as we had to take the dog on a lead for a toilet break etc and didn’t want to bother the neighbours at 5 am with us crunching along the access driveway. Susan was always very quick to respond via email which was reassuring when booking and getting things packed for our stay. Thank you for having us!

- Danielle, August 2023
Rachel July 2023

“Beautifully decorated and comfortable - thanks.”

Things that could make it better: 1. Individual information about the surrounding area and facilities rather than standard Lakes information e.g restaurants/pubs/cafes, walks, cycle routes, special events etc. 2. All knives in the kitchen need sharpening. 3. Blind in the bathroom does not give any privacy at night - although the property does not have anyone overlooking the rear, we shared our parking spaces with neighbours from number 1 as they were originally told they had 2 spaces, so people were outside at all times! Could then see anyone on the toilet or in the bathroom if the lights were on!! 4. When the shower was being used, smelly water and debris would gurgle up the bath plughole and leave sick-like residue in the bath. 5. Shower plug hole trap needs cleaning regularly - shower curtain tray started to fill with water so I checked and it was black and full of hair. I unblocked as best as I could and have a picture if you need it. 6. Days for bin collections and location of the recycling area may make people more likely to help out rather than just saying in the folder that it would be helpful for people to take the recycling into the village. We only found the location in the last couple of days so were unfortunately not prepared to move it all at the end when we were getting ready to come home. 7. Before booking, I asked Lakes Cottage Holidays if there was an enclosed garden as it was difficult to see from the photo or description and was told yes. This was disappointing and probably the only downside of the property as we had to take the dog out on his lead each evening and were not able to let him roam free when we sat on the patio. 8. The buttons on the extractor hob do not always latch into place first time and take a bit of wiggling and attempts to get it to work without standing and holding them in. 9. Some of the replacement drawer handles in the bedrooms come loose / off as the screws are not long enough to hold them. 10. Tin opener does not work. 11. Lights on the patio and one above the toilet in the shower room are starting to flicker on and off so may need replacing very soon. Other than these minor points (which I feel if I did not mention, you would not know about) the property was in the ideal location to explore Coniston and the surrounding areas and the view of the lake was amazing - we all miss it already. We made use of the washer, dryer and iron a few times which worked just fine and the cushions provided for the patio were very comfortable.

- Rachel, July 2023
Lorraine June 2023

“Lovely week spent in the cottage , had everything we needed , in a beautiful location as well .”

It would have been handy to know the patio was separate from the house with an access across it , as we had a dog which made it hard to enjoy the outdoor space and couldn’t leave the patio doors open in very warm weather in case he ran out .

- Lorraine, June 2023
Susan May 2023

“We had a wonderful stay at 2 Lake View, it really couldn't have been better, everything we needed was provided and such a comfortable home away from home.”

Of course the weather was simply stunning as was the view from the patio, fantastic walks from the door and just a few minutes to the lake. Just perfect.

- Susan, May 2023

Thank you for your kind feedback. We are really glad that you had such wonderful weather and could then enjoy all that the property and area has to offer. Owner Relations Expert Property Owner

“Every thing you need, clean, tidy and good quality.”

Fantastic location with lovely views. We felt really relaxed staying at Lake VIew so nice to come back to a lovely cottage, and sit outside looking at the view with a bottle of wine. The best self catering cottage we have stayed in.

- Diane, May 2023
Kathryn April 2023

“Really lovely, comfortable house.”

Great to sit out on the patio and look down on Coniston lake.

- Kathryn, April 2023
Jonathan April 2023

“A lovely cottage with great views snd parking.”

Well maintained and decorated and very comfortable. Close enough to Coniston to be able to walk in 5 min, but far enough to avoid the crowds. Lovely outdoor seating area. Would definitely book again.

- Jonathan, April 2023
Tony January 2023

“Found the hob in the kitchen tricky to use at times, although the kitchen was spacious and a joy to prepare food in.”

Good parking. Might be useful to point out to people that some pubs are not open during the early part of the week. After three days finally managed to find a pub that served real ale, which was the Sun in Coniston, which was open seven days. Will certainly want to stay there again.

- Tony, January 2023
Jane December 2022

“Cottage was spotlessly clean, very well equipped.”

The owner Susan was soo helpful, nothing was too much trouble for her . She made sure we had everything we needed,especially for cooking over the Christmas break. Lovely lady

- Jane, December 2022
Karen December 2022

“Lovely cottage in a fantastic location - lots of walks from the door and the view over the lake is superb.”

Cottage was very well equipped with everything you need, extremely comfortable beds, all in all a great place to stay with parking for two cars which is rare in the Lakes, will definitely be booking again.

- Karen, December 2022
Helen November 2022

“Fabulous cottage with amazing views.”

Warm, welcoming & very comfortable. Great walks from the doorstep & the short walk into Coniston is an added bonus. The Ship Inn over the road is a proper country pub & is cosy & welcoming. Night lights were a great thought as was the powerful outside lighting. Lack of enclosed outside area not ideal for dogs but we managed & it wouldn't stop us returning - just take a flexi lead. Also a casserole dish would've been great but we managed. Overall a very nice property in a beautiful part of the world.

“Super! The view was stunning and the house was clean and comfortable.”

No issues and would definitely go back. Loved being able to walk into Coniston so quickly. It meant you had peace but not at the expense of convenience.

Carol September 2022

“Another great stay at 2 Lake view.”

This is the 3rd time we have stayed in this property. The views are amazing and only a 10 minute walk into Coniston. The cottage was spotless and has everything you need for a relaxing holiday plus it has 2 private parking spaces which is rare in the Lake District. Sue the owner is on hand if needed. We will definitely be back again .

Cat August 2022

“Overall the stay was very pleasant, the location was great.”

We had great weather and there are so many great things to do in Coniston. We so enjoyed having family time together. The property was mainly as described. However I would not book again for the following reasons: - The mould in the single bedroom meant this room was un- useable. This was supposed to be my 10 month nephews room. However the room smelled so strongly of mould even after the window was open all day. He was moved into his parents room, which disrupted everyone’s sleep in the property and meant the stay was less restful than we were anticipating. Although the mould is not an easily solved problem there was recent growth which could have been cleaned before our stay and might have improved the situation. - I contacted the property owner about the mould half way through the stay, although I specified that we had moved round accordingly and did not want anything done about the mould as this would be further disruption. So they know for the future etc.. My email to date has not been responded to or acknowledged. When the owner has promptly responded to a previous couple of emails re check in. I find this unacceptable customer service, all that was required was to apologise, acknowledge it is a problem and ask if they could do anything to remedy it. To which I would have said no, just sort it our for the next booking. It leads me to consider if something was really wrong would we have received any response ? This is the main reason I would not rebook. We payed peak august prices £1100 for the week. - Additionally there were a few glitches in the kitchen the induction hob didn’t work effectively, the microwave was also glitchy and there were a few other bits of equipment that I would have expected to be there and weren’t. So although the property is set up for self catering. The reality was it took a lot longer to cook because of glitchy equipment. As I say overall a lovely stay, great location and overall this would be a great stay but I would not rebook because of the lack of response on the mould issue.

- Cat, August 2022
Sharon July 2022

“This is a wonderful cottage.”

Has everything you need for your stay with great views of Coniston Water. 10 minutes walk into Coniston which is a lovely little village and has a Co-op and Spar. 30 minutes in car to Windermere. 5 minute walk through the field down to the lake. Had a really good time. Thanks.

- Sharon, July 2022
Mel July 2022

“Very nice cottage, which proved an excellent base for our holiday with 2 children (5 and 18 months) and one dog.”

On the whole, everything was as advertised, and the patio was a bit roomier and with far lovelier views than expected. There are a few minor niggles that affected our stay. We found the induction hob to be rather temperamental: only two of the four rings would work, and we had to turn it off at the wall a few times. We also had to purchase a tin opener, as the one provided no longer works properly (not a big deal, but quite frustrating when you have two hungry children). We also didn't realise that the in-built oven was a microwave until the final day: there is an old instruction manual in the drawer for a Panasonic microwave, which led us to assume it had broken and not yet been replaced. The cottage is very clean and tidy, as a whole, although there is some black mould in the smaller upstairs bedroom in the corners around the bed. Overall, a lovely cottage and we had a great week exploring the area. The short walk to Coniston and the lake-front was a particular perk!

- Mel, July 2022
Jean June 2022

“A wonderful relaxing week at 2 Lake View, the cottage was very comfortable and clean.”

We really cannot find any fault. The kitchen had everything that we needed and more. Centrally located for Lake Coniston a easy walk into the village itself, also well located for Windermere, Grasmere, Derwent water and Ullswater. We even had good weather.

- Jean, June 2022
John April 2022

“Radiators need bleeding noisy throughout night and day.”

Alarm clock not needed! Lack of mugs and cutlery in general for five people resulting in endless washing up. Cups and saucers would be good too. No mixing bowls for food prep etc. Difficult for self catering. No trays for carrying drinks around. Or coasters in lounge to protect tables. Inadequate size bin in kitchen no bins in bedrooms for rubbish or recycling. Dining chairs too low to table unless you are six foot six tall. Deep Cushions needed. Small bedroom wardrobe does not have hanging rail. No hair dryer at property. Main bathroom has only hand held spray not over bath shower as implied. List of useful contact numbers bin days doctors early closing days etc would be useful. Considering this property is for five people it is barely adequately stocked unless permanently eating out for all meals. Lovely property well presented but spoilt by all above

- John, April 2022

we take all feedback seriously and will look into the issues you raised. We send a an email to all guests prior to arrival, with our private mobile number. this is so that guests can have urgent issues fixed immediately such as noisy radiators. To be fair, you didnt contact us and we dont know unless we are told. On the day of your arrival, we placed another 6 mugs in the kitchen, making a total of 12, and there are 2 full sets of cutlery. There is a welcome folder with all the contact details you mention. we do not provide hair driers and guests can check the inventory with us prior to arrival Property Owner
Sarah March 2022

“Lovely cottage with an amazing view.”

Great location for walking and a short walk to the village. Generally well equipped would have liked a few more mugs apart from that small thing everything was excellent.

- Sarah, March 2022

we are really pleased you enjoyed the cottage and have taken the comments on board and will add another set of mugs to the cottage asap Property Owner
Mark March 2022

“I would never use sykes again, as though this holiday was fantastic, I ve priced it up for same week next year, its gone up from £629 to £863 for the week, an increase of £234?”

??? Or in another way over a 37% increase...how can sykes justify this?? Do not blame the cottage owner as we met her personally she is as disgusted as me at the massive hike on price....

- Mark, March 2022

We are pleased you enjoyed another stay with us at No 2 Lake View. However, we are disappointed that you have chosen this forum to vent your anger at the Sykes brand. Our cottage review section is not the correct place. We discussed the price for next year and I went to great lengths to explain to you some of the reasons including the economic climate, effects of covid, electricity prices and so on. As property owners, we approve the pricing structure and most emphatically did not express any suggestions to you that we were disgusted. We are more than happy with our service from Sykes and Lakes Cottage Holidays Property Owner

“Just had a lovely week in this cottage and what a beautiful, comfortable cottage it is.”

Good facilities and in the perfect area to see all the lakes. Parking is ideal two spaces for this cottage. Pub just over the road serving good food. Overall perfect and would definitely stay again.

Barbara November 2021

“The cottage is well equipped clean and comfortable.”

Everything works well. The cottage is great for a winter holiday and In November we particularly appreciated the large porch to accommodate wet muddy gear, the washing machine and dryer, the central heating hot water and wood burner. The only downside is the adjacent road which is busy at times although parking at the back of the cottage is safe and convenient The view to the Lake from the back of the cottage is lovely .

- Barbara, November 2021
Linda November 2021

“The property is in an excellent location, just a short walk into Coniston and the view from the lounge is fantastic.”

All the beds are extremely comfortable and is has the added bonus of having two bathrooms, although the shower room is small it is perfectly functional and like the main bathroom is beautifully tiled . The kitchen is lovely and has everything you could possibly need. An excellent stay was had by all and we would certainly rebook.

- Linda, November 2021
Andrew September 2021

“One of the cleanest and most comfortable cottages we’ve stayed at.”

Handy for old torver railway line walk and coniston launch and shoreline Parking was not as we had feared a problem It does front the road so there is inevitably some road noise to the front bedrooms but for us the location and comfort and quality of the accommodation more than compensated .

- Andrew, September 2021
Jane July 2021

“Great cottage, lovely views across the lake.”

Beds really comfortable, lovely interior, well equipped kitchen, big fridge,good shower,but some road traffic noise in one double and the single room. Would definitely recommend this cottage, fabulous place to unwind and enjoy quality family time in beautiful surroundings.

- Jane, July 2021
Geoffrey July 2021

“The cottage was lovely, spacious, clean and bright also within walking distance of Coniston Village.”

The main bedroom would be improved by the installation of a mirror above the chest of drawers where a hair dryer can be plugged in. It is difficult to blow dry hair etc without a mirror. The Lake District is a beautiful place to visit with such a variety of scenery.

- Geoffrey, July 2021
Carol June 2021

“Two Lake View was perfect.”

The view from the patio and also the bedroom window of lake is breathtaking. The house is so comfortable and clean and has everything you need. A lovely walk down into the centre of coniston where there are lovely shops and pubs to enjoy a nice meal and drink . So dog friendly everywhere. We will definitely return to this cottage on our next visit to the Lake District

- Carol, June 2021
Helen May 2021

“This was a lovely cottage perfectly suited to our needs.”

The position was good - about 15 mins walk to the lake and town. The furnishings and decor were high quality and comfortable. The bathrooms and kitchen were really nice. I was a bit disappointed with the courtyard garden which was a car parking space and not private and the proximity to a busy road

- Helen, May 2021

Thank you for writing a review and we are pleased that you particularly like the quality and comfort of the cottage. But we are somewhat perplexed at the comments about the courtyard garden. There is in fact parking for 2 cars on the 'chippings' area adjacent to a lovely raised terrace with wooden table and bench and ample seating kept in a storage box on the patio itself. There is a sun parasol in the porch to use with the table. The on-line picture of the cottage shows the raised patio and the Welcome Folder in the cottage describes these facilities. Property Owner
Nic December 2020

“This is a beautiful , clean house with everything you could possibly need , the owner sue was so helpful and nice .”

I would 100% stay there again when we go back to the lakes . The view from the house is simply stunning . There’s a little pub across from the house which the food was lovely and a village within a 5-7 min walk away with everything you need . Thank you for a lovely stay

Michael October 2020

“We stayed in 2, Lake View over October Half-Term, 24th-31st October 2020.”

The views from the front bedroom (King) are absolutely stunning - such a lovely sight to wake up to! Kitchen well-equipped and clean, plenty of space for our family of 4 to eat around the big dining table, or sit at the breakfast bar for a chat whilst one of us was cooking. The whole cottage was lovely and bright, clean, warm and homely. We unfortunately had lousy weather whilst we were staying in the Lake District (!) - driving rain and hail almost every day. It was great to come back to the cottage after a day's walking and warm up with a lovely bath or hot shower. We would highly recommend 2, Lake View and will hopefully return next year.

- Michael, October 2020
Jackie October 2020

“Beautiful holiday home!”

Excellent location with fantastic facilities, ideally located within easy reach of great walks and places to eat all within easy walking distance. Have to mention the comfortable beds for a great nights sleep! Sara’a Indian is amazing and the Ship Inn which is too handy.

- Jackie, October 2020
David September 2020

“We loved the property, the decor and presentation were perfect.”

The view and outside space was a bonus. There were homely touches throughout. The only drawback was the noise of the traffic as it was on main road. The kitchen only had 1 frying pan and no large casserole. Although it wasn't on the details every house we have stayed in previously had a hairdryer, and I didn't take mine. We thought the extra early departure time of 9 a.m was too early to leave, as the normal leaving time is 10 a.m.

- David, September 2020
Charles September 2020

“Lovely cottage in a good location, short walk into the village and the most beautiful views from the lounge, bedroom and patio, cottage had everything we needed and we were blessed with fabulous weather.”

Sara’s Indian, The ship pub and Herdwicks cafe I would recommend for nice food. Overall a fab holiday in a fantastic location.

Nicola July 2020

“This is a beautiful cottage to stay in, very comfortable, clean and had all the facilities we needed.”

They have set things up really well to deal with Covid 19 - there is anti-bac gel just inside the entrance and hand wash provided. Coniston village and the lake are just a short walk away (a small part without footpath but we didn't find that a problem). The view from the patio table was absolutely gorgeous, it was lovely to sit there watching the sheep in the field and boats on the lake. The area is a beautiful as you would expect from the Lake District, plenty of places to discover and walks to do. Highly recommended.

- Nicola, July 2020

“Really well equipped, spacious and comfortable cottage in great location for walking and visiting pubs etc.”

Beautiful view from rear bedroom and lounge (from garden too but we visited in February so not sitting out weather).

Douglas January 2020

“Fabulous little cottage.”

... well not so little, very spacious. Lovely views, we stayed in January would love to stay again in the summer and be able to sit outside on the patio and soak up the sunshine , and just enjoy the view....... maybe with a cheeky little vino!

The property

A contemporary refurbishment of a mill dating back to 1800, Two Lake View is one of four converted cottages, boasting views of Coniston Water.

Set at the head of the lake in the village of Coniston, this property would be perfect for a family looking for a lakeside holiday full of fun activities, or a reunion of friends passionate about walking and the outdoors.

Entering the property through the front porch, here you can take off your wet coats if you've been caught in a shower, and head into the kitchen/diner where you can light up the woodburning stove.

Warm yourself by the fire while hot drinks are made, and with underfloor heating as well you are sure to be toasty warm in no time.

When you are all walked out, take the weight off your feet and sink into the inviting sofas and put the TV on for some relaxing down-time.

With patio doors leading to some outdoor furniture with views overlooking the lake, if it's a sunny day you can spend your afternoon here with a good book, or maybe a glass of wine and some good company instead. When evening turns to night, head upstairs to the wonderfully presented bedrooms, decorated in serene colour choices of creams, greys and hints of green, they create the perfect environment for drifting off.

There is a master king-size bedroom with windows looking out to the water, another king-size and a single, served by a bathroom and a shower room, so they're shouldn't be too many queues in the morning.

Two Lake View is conveniently situated on the outskirts of Coniston village, and is only a few minutes walk from all of its amenities including two pubs, a restaurant, a fish and chip shop and a shop for your essentials.

There are walks from the door up to The Old Man of Coniston and Wetherlam, or choose some easier rambles around the lake on the footpath.

You can hire a boat to see the beautiful surroundings from the water, or go a bit more adventurous and try some paddleboaring.

Two Lake View is a stunning property in a great location for enjoying all there is in the Lake District.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £200.

Nestling at the head of Coniston Water, the pretty village of Coniston is surrounded by some of the most beautiful scenery in the Lake District National Park, making it a superb base for touring, with Hawkshead, Ambleside, Windermere and Grasmere just a short drive away. Superb walking, mountain biking and climbing are available locally on Coniston Old Man and Wetherlam, and the lovely woodland trails at Grizedale Forest. For watersports enthusiasts, the quiet lake is ideal for dinghy sailing and canoeing, whilst the less active can enjoy a leisure cruise on the beautiful steam yacht 'Gondola’, or visit Brantwood, the former home of John Ruskin. Nearby attractions include the award-winning village of Hawkshead, home of the Beatrix Potter Gallery, Tarn Hows, one of the most visited beauty spots in the country and Esthwaite Water, famous for its fishing. A first class holiday location at any time of the year.
