“Beautiful house, warm, welcoming, modern but with so much character. A real corker of a property!”
Thanks Simon, my family and I had a wonderful weekend stay at Charcoal House.
My husband loved taking early morning walks to Coniston Water and it was a fantastic base for exploring the Lake District.
The only problem we had was the house was so great, we didn’t want to leave! – Liz & Family

“Perfect for a family getaway!”
8 of us and our dog Harley stayed at Charcoal House for a week in January.
The house was super, very spacious with lovely furnishings, and everyone had a lovely break, even the Aga was a hit and produced an excellent Sunday lunch!
Even though the weather was snowy, we had no problem getting about, and took advantage of a number of Simon’s recommended walks which were right on the doorstep.
We also visited his recommended cafes and restaurants in Lowick Bridge, Greenodd and Ulverston, all of which were great.
All in all, the house is perfect for a family getaway and we will definitely look to book one of Simon’s properties for our January break next year – Peter Jones, Wrexham

“Beautiful, exceptional comfy house”
What can I say but amazing and just what we all needed after a very busy Christmas.
My Husband, children, grandparents, grandchildren and myself stayed at Charcoal House and once again what a wonderful house it is.
The house is very spacious, comfy and very clean and made extra special with the welcoming warmth of the Aga, which we made great use of, although we did go for a lovely evening meal at The Mill in Ulverston.
The large sitting area is beautiful and the lovely balcony with its amazing view, great for spotting the local wildlife.
We stayed for 3 days at the house relaxing, walking and on the last day just spent at the lake just skimming stones, the grandchildren just loved this.
This is the 3rd property we have rented from Simon and all equally as nice. So once again thank you and can’t wait for next time – Lindsay Sandilands

A special place to spend a wonderful Christmas.
We enjoyed the Aga, the log fire, meals around the table, the Red Lion (the nearest pub just one mile away) and the Christmas tree. Thank you – The Wright family, London

From Email:-
We had a great time – it is the first time my husband and I had been to the Lakes and we loved it.
The house was extremely comfortable and furnished/decorated to a very good standard. I fell in love with the Aga, having never cooked on one before and loved the fact that most of the house seemed to benefit from the heat generated. My husband is dreading the inevitable request!
We will almost certainly be making another trip to the area, probably at a similar time because we enjoyed the beautiful autumn colours so much and the added benefit of very few people around, although it was far from deserted.
We also spent far more time and money than was good for us in Booth’s (the North West’s equivalent to Waitrose-but much better) – Stephanie Locke

A wonderful base to explore the southern lakes and surrounding villages.
Good bracing walks and breath-taking autumn scenery – Monika, Nick, & Norman Jones, South Wales

Thank you for enabling us all to have such a wonderful time at Charcoal House.
The house was amazing and just what we needed, my wife loved the AGA!
It’s so difficult to find somewhere that has 4 large double rooms, enough to accommodate 4 couples.
We all loved the house and the area and are looking at booking again next September – Graham Still

Four relaxing days in this lovely house.
Peace and quiet in a lovely rural location.
Plenty of space, especially as there was only 2 of us – Julia & Martin, South Devon

“An ideal base for exploring the Lake District”
A very well appointed rental property that offered a real home from home.
Very tastefully furnished with everything provided that might be needed.
Extremely quiet.
Ideally located for access to main routes for exploring the Lake District. Good local facilities and easy access to Ulverston for shopping requirements. Owner very attentive. Highly recommended – Phil Burrell, Wlithshire
