Hi Simon,
We absolutely loved our stay at Charcoal House.
I am now a fully fledged admirer of cooking with an Aga and was very pleasantly surprised at the range of Le Creauset cooking pots and all other cooking pans and appliances.
The water pressure in the showers was heavenly, the house was immaculate and we didn’t want to leave.
The locals were pleasant and unobtrusive and we had Sunday dinner at The Ship, on the outskirts of Coniston. It was fantastic, the staff were amazing and humorous.
We will definitely book again!
Thank you again for everything, my wife loved it too.

10/10 review on Booking.com
“Countryside bliss!”
Every single room was a great size, the place is presented perfectly! As soon as you enter you feel so at home, the host Simon was so helpful and gave us a list of nearby pubs and walks he recommends, 10/10 from the 7 of us. We will be coming again – Kelly

We had a lovely time at Charcoal House. It is a very nice cottage in a picturesque and peaceful location.
We visited the Red Lion which had good beer and a good crack with the locals and also really enjoyed eating at the Manor House at Oxen Park, so much so we visited twice.
Thank you for all your recommendations – Paula Sharp, Co. Durham

“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 – Ron Oates, Southampton

Hi Simon,
We had a super time.
Charcoal House is a delight and had everything we needed and more.
The weather was a bonus we even managed to sit out in garden and the sun for lunch on 2 days!!
The Lakes are stunning when the sun shines.
Thank you for all the information.
We would certainly stay again at Charcoal.
Best Wishes,
Sue

Hi Simon,
We had a fabulous holiday in your wonderful cottage & we were so blessed with the weather. We even went wild swimming in Windermere with our old rescue dog. 🥰
I served in the Royal Navy which has rendered me over the top about cleanliness but Charcoal House was spotless.
I generally spend the first night cleaning our holiday cottages but thanks to your housekeeping staff that wasn’t necessary here or when we stayed at previously at Weavers Cottage in Cartmel.
Thank you so much,
Kind regards,
Pam (Stockton on Tees, North Yorks)

Came up early for the Lakeland 50 Race to relax and prepare. Couldn’t have picked a more suitable property.
Great base to go out and explore what the Lake District has to offer.
Thanks for the memories Charcoal House – Matt, Rachel and Ralph Warren from Guernsey & graham, Sue and Joe Vincent from Devon

Superb week long visit to Charcoal House to get our Australian and Yorkshire sides of the family back together.
Very comfortable stay and even the weather turned up for most of our stay.
Thanks for having us – Helen James, Perth W.A.
