Corn Cottage receives high praise for its cosy atmosphere, ideal location for exploring the Lake District, and thoughtful touches from the owners. Guests appreciate the tranquil setting, the proximity to scenic walks and local attractions, and the cottage's well-equipped nature. The log burner and summer house are frequently mentioned as delightful features. While a few minor maintenance issues are noted, the overall sentiment is overwhelmingly positive, with many guests expressing a desire to return.

Cleanliness

The cottage is generally described as clean and comfortable. However, there are isolated comments about some kitchen items needing replacement and a few dirty utensils upon arrival, suggesting room for improvement in ensuring all items are consistently pristine.

Location

The location is highly praised for its tranquillity, beautiful surroundings, and accessibility to walks and local attractions. The proximity to scenic areas like Coniston Water and the availability of walks directly from the cottage contribute to a high score.

Comfort

Guests find the cottage comfortable, with a particularly comfy bed and a cosy log burner. However, some guests mention the sofa being uncomfortable and the cottage being a bit cold at times, which slightly lowers the score.

Facilities

The cottage is well-equipped with a summer house, log burner, and kitchen appliances. Nonetheless, there are mentions of minor issues such as a non-working toaster, a dishwasher not performing well, and suggestions for additional kitchen utensils, indicating that while facilities are good, some maintenance is required.

Thoughtfulness

Guests frequently mention the thoughtful gestures such as a welcome tray with flapjacks and milk. These small touches are greatly appreciated, although it should be noted that such personal touches, while common, may not be guaranteed for every stay.

About this property

A cosy single-storey, semi-detached cottage, attached to the owner's home, located in the lovely hamlet of Water Yeat, a 10-minute walk from the shores of Coniston Water in the beautiful Lake District National Park. Perfect as a romantic getaway, Corn Cottage offers guests comfortable accommodation in a wonderful location. Inside this lovely cottage is a sitting room with dining area, wooden floor, exposed beams and a warming woodburning stove, along with a well-equipped kitchen, a bathroom and a double bedroom. Outside you can take in the surrounding countryside from the south-facing patio with its romantic garden 'love-seat' or dine alfresco as you discuss the days events, and on a clear night, the deep darkness gives way to a star-laden sky. With footpaths and bridleways to explore right from the doorstep, access to the fells is easy and Beacon Tarn and Coniston Water are within walking distance. In the nearby village of Coniston you will find plenty of places to eat and shop, as well as things to see and do. The National Trust Steam Yacht Gondola on Coniston Water is a true taste of a by-gone era from where you can relax and enjoy the stunning surrounding scenery, plus historic Brantwood House, home of the Victorian artist and social thinker John Ruskin, is close by and here the beautiful gardens and ancient woodland are a real treasure. From Coniston the great outdoors awaits where you can enjoy fishing, kayaking, mountain climbing and gorge scrambling. If you prefer biking, Grizedale Forest has some excellent mountain bike routes, and can offer some excellent bike routes, and quiet rural roads.

Situated in a peaceful location, this superb cottage is an ideal romantic retreat.

The small hamlet of Water Yeat is in the Crake Valley, just a 5-minute walk from the shores of Allan Tarn and a 10 minute walk from the shores of Coniston Water in the beautiful Lake District National Park. To the northern end of the lake is the village of Coniston, and within reach are Hawkshead, Ambleside and Windermere.
