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 – Caroline Senior

“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! – Kirsty Dunn

Hi Simon,
We had a fantastic time!
We got really lucky with the weather and did plenty of walking. I have the blisters to prove it lol.
By the way, that’s the best Aga we have ever used! Really accurate instructions and we had plenty of perfectly cooked eggs, casseroles and fajitas!
We hope to book again sometime in the future. I think this was our 11th holiday with you & we have had some very special memories so thank you. 🙏🏻
Kind regards

“Magical Christmas Stay”
I booked directly with Simon for the Beautiful Charcoal House to spend Christmas week with my family – 6 adults, 2 children and Bonnie our dog.
What a haven it was!! Spacious and x so comfortable.
I’m very particular and was so impressed by the highest standard of cleanliness – it was immaculate.
The festive touches were in place throughout and the beautiful Christmas tree in the spacious, luxurious upstairs lounge was so lovely.
Everything we needed was supplied to cook Christmas dinner – so well thought out.
I LOVED the AGA and am a convert!!
We all loved Charcoal House.
The weather was wet and windy but we still ventured out to the beautiful nearby lakes.
We will go back – no question.
Thank you Simon and team for all the informed information to make this Christmas stay so memorable and magical. This is a MUST!! – Sue Carter, Mauchline, Ayrshire, Scotland

“5 Stars”
The cottage was spotless, beautifully decorated and furnished and extremely comfortable and well equipped. The attention to detail was excellent and we genuinely couldn’t fault it. We had a wonderful stay for my son’s 21st – a real family break.

“Hi Simon
I just wanted to say what a fabulous time we had at Charcoal House. The furnishings were beautiful and so comfortable. The house is so well equipped with everything you could need and we would definitely recommend it to friends.
My parents should have come with so my husband and I had The Nook and let our sons and partners have the upstairs rooms. It’s such an excellent setup and everyone loved the house and the whole weekend.
Thanks again for a great stay – we really hope to come back some day.

Superb holiday cottage – so well equipped.
Beds were very comfy and we loved the Aga.
Perfect location for exploring. The Blacksmiths Arms at Broughton Mills is fab for food and you must go to Bakehouse Born & Bread in Greenodd for brunch.
We would all love to come back.
Grandma loved ‘The Nook’.
Perfect week with perfect weather – no need to go abroad! – Carol, Jason, Adam, Daniel, Grandma & Monty the woof – Huddersfield, West Yorkshire

Had a wonderful weekend here celebrating my mum’s 60th birthday.
The house was brilliant and the location near Coniston Water was awesome.
Thank you – Malcolm Turner, Morecambe, Lancashire

“Beautiful home, perfect family getaway”
As soon as we arrived we knew we’d made the right choice, picking Charcoal House as our holiday home in the lakes. The house is beautifully presented and really well equipped.
We went as an extended family, my husband, son and dog, my parents and my sister and her partner. The size was great, the rooms were all fab and the nook was that extra wow- perfect for my parents to have their own little area to escape too (breaks are always needed when there is a 2 year old and a large dog around ha!).
Location is brilliant, lots of local walks near and neighbouring towns a short drive away. We went into Ulverston a few times for lunch and an explore, as well as Ambleside.
The weather was not on our side so we didn’t get to do the walks we had planned to, but we would be more than happy to return again perhaps in the warmer months and will recommend Charcoal House to friends.
Thank you to Simon for being continuously helpful and available if we had any questions – Hannah
