Gate House Reviews

Elaine
Superb cottage in a great location. Very well equipped cottage, could be mentioned in property listings as I was unsure what I would need kitchen equipment wise. Decor, quality of appliances, crockery, beds and en suites all excellent. Only let down by quality of welcome pack, sachets of long life milk!!! a fresh pint of milk would have been much better! and a starter pack of logs for the fires would have been appreciated. We will definitely be back.
Beautiful property set in a lovely quiet spot but in close proximity to centre of the village. Beautifully furnished, excellent kitchen & Bathrooms, & comfy beds.
We had a wonderful stay at The Gate House, with our two children and their partners as well as three dogs. The house is large, with beautiful appointed rooms and a well equipped kitchen. Being November, we didnt make use of the spa or rear patio area, but no doubt this space provides a relaxing atmosphere next to the adjacent babbling stream. In all, this is a lovely house and well situated for walks, local pubrestaurants and shops.
Returned for a visit to this lovely house. We had good weather and did plenty of walks from the door. There are plenty of places to eat in the village all within walking distance. There were however a few housekeeping issues namely the fan oven on the range appears not to be working and the timer is broken. There is no tv remote in the snug and most of the jets in the hot tub are not working.
Lovely property very well presented and maintained. Beautiful area and so easy for walks direct from the house. If we come back to Coniston we will definitely be back at the gate house.
A very comfortable, smart and well equipped property. Well appointed. Suited us very well. Having the four ensuites was great. Good location. The hot tub was appreciated after hikes on fells. We really enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend.
Heather
The property was excellent. The rooms were very spacious . It was really clean . The only downside was as dog owners was there wasnt a lot a walks that near for a bigger dog . We loved the area busy with cars and walkers. Definitely recommend this property .
Gillian
Had a wonderful stay. Cottage beautiful and furnished to a high standard. Facilities in the kitchen were excellent. Perfect location too.
What a great location and such a comfortable house. We loved that wee could holiday on luxury with our dogs. Super well equipped kitchen. We would have liked a few more champagne flutes please and just a little starter pack of logs would be a nice touch. Wed absolutely love to visit Coniston and this house again soon
One of the best cottages that weve ever been to! Attention to detail, a luxury rental with everything you need for a restful stay. I cant recommend this cottage enough, the restoration is just beautiful and the Gate House is well cared for, thank you

Rydal Mount & Gardens - LA22 9LU
about 6 Miles
Rydal Mount & Gardens are wonderfully situated between Lake Windermere and Rydal Water offering breathtaking scenery. The home of William Wordsworth from 1813 - 1850 the grand home is now lived in by the poets descendents but parts of the house and grounds are open to the public. Why not take a guided tour and see the rooms where many of the famous poems were written. The gardens are beautiful at all times of the year but in the summer offer a spectacular display of colour. There is also a gallery and a tearoom. Discounts are available for group bookings.
Ullswater Steamers - CA11 0US
about 12 Miles
This is an award winning Lake District attraction and they have been operating cruisers on Lake Ullswater for over 150 years.  There is no better way to explore the lakes than on water and you could even combine a cruise with a spectacular walk.  For great days out in this region then this attraction is highly recommended and will appeal to couples as well as families.  Corporate groups are also well catered for.
South Lakes Safari Zoo - LA12 0LU
about 14 Miles

This is an amazing Cumbria attraction well known locally as well as nationally for how close you can get to the animals.  Described as the most interactive animal park in Europe it's well worth a visit if you are staying in the area.  Open from April to end October some of the highlights are the tigers, penguins, bears, hippos and rhinos.  At 2pm during certain seasons it's feeding time so don't forget to plan your day around this so you can watch the animals enjoying their feed.  Look out for seasonal events such as Halloween Zoo Boo (free entry for kids in fancy dress) and The Magic of Christmas.

Lakeland Wildlife Oasis - LA6 1JH
about 17 Miles
Located in the Milnthorpe area of Cumbria we love this local attraction.  With an eclectic mix of fascinating wildlife and hands on displays this centre is educational as well as fun.  You can wander around at leisure admiring the exhibits which range from chameleons to computers. Some of the most threatened species are kept at the park as part if international breeding programmes.  Check out their website for the latest opening times and admission costs which are great value for money.  There are discounts for pre-booked parties of 12 or more.
Lake District Wildlife Park - CA12 4RD
about 22 Miles
We love this day out in Cumbria where you're encouraged to "take a fresh look".  Some of the amazing animals you will get to see include the only Canadian Lynx in the UK and you will have the opportunity to help their Lynx Conservation Project.  The Asian Fishing Cat is also well worth a look - these cats are known for diving under the water and catching fish!  Other activities include fantastic flying displays and play areas for the little ones...
Happy Mount Park - LA4 5AQ
about 22 Miles
Happy Mount Park has attractions for the whole family including several play areas, a miniature railway, crazy golf, putting green and trampolines, there is also a paddling pool where the little ones can splash around in the summer and a café where the adults can relax with a drink. During the summer months and especially during school holidays live music can often be enjoyed.
