“Excellent spacious house in idyllic setting”
Charcoal house is in a quiet area with lovely walks from the door. Coniston Water is very close. The nearby village of Coniston has lots of cafes, pubs and things to do.
The house is large and nicely decorated a mixture of the old and modern. It was very clean and we liked the balcony for a glass of wine in the evening. The beds were very comfortable.
With 2 kitchens and 3 fridges there was plenty of room for cooking. We enjoyed a barbecue in the pretty garden and there was plenty of room for 4 cars. It was a home from home – Helen Collins, Lymm, Cheshire

“A Golden Week”
As a Golden Wedding treat six of us visited Charcoal House for a week in August.
What a golden week it was. Wall to wall sunshine for the whole of our stay in the excellent Charcoal House. The whole house is beautifully presented, equipped and so convenient for a relaxing holiday.
We had two boys under seven in our party and they enjoyed the garden and the surroundings of the house. As the Grandparents, we enjoyed “The Nook”, a quiet retreat from the rest of our party!
All in all a superb place to stay! Highly recommend a visit – Sandra

“Great house and location”
Have just spent ten days at Charcoal House and had a great time. Ideal location for cycling, walking and visiting lakes and fells.
The house is beautifully presented with spacious accommodation. Loved cooking on the Aga which keeps the house warm and dry especially when wet! The ‘Nook’ on the ground floor is ideal for the older generation!
Enjoy! – Andrew & Teresa, Berkshire

“Beautiful well-equipped house”
We arrived at Charcoal House at the height of storm Dennis to find a beautiful, fully equipped, comfortable and highly efficient house.
The eight of us, two couples, another daughter and her three children, regularly go out once a year for a family get-together. This was undoubtedly the best house we have ever rented for short term stay.
Well situated with a superb view of river Crake, the house was warm, beautifully furnished and with every appliance you could wish for.
The annex, fully integrated into the main house, could also act as a separate flat, with its own kitchen, fridge, dishwasher, shower and toilet. Strongly recommended. We will return – Mohsen, London

“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 – Geoffrey

Hi Simon,
Just wanted to send a review of our 4 night stay at Charcoal House from the 5th of August to the 9th as I never found the time to write a review in the guest book.
The property was absolutely stunning and I must say the best holiday cottage we have ever stayed in (and we’ve stopped in quite a few).
Fabulous kitchen with the Aga. The Nook was so perfect for my daughter and her boyfriend and the other bedrooms were gorgeous, beautifully decorated, comfy beds and lovely bedding.
The lounge area was excellent for chilling out in the evening for all six of us and our chocolate Labrador Mabel, who thoroughly enjoyed her stay in this lovely cottage and the surrounding areas.
Thank you so much and we will have no hesitation recommending this property to our friends and will definitely be back to this property or one of your others in the future.
Regards
Melanie Caddy

What an amazing property Charcoal House, Nibthwaite is. Got to be ranked the best holiday cottage we’ve stayed in and we’ve stayed in quite a lot.
Amazing kitchen with the lovely Aga. The Nook was delightful and the bedrooms and lounge were all stunning. Luxury bedding and furnishings, no expense spared.
The cottage is in a lovely location and we will definitely be going back in the future – Melanie
