Pet-friendly vacation rentals in The Old Man of Coniston

Our family of 4 had a perfect stay at Caxton Cottage! It was cosy, charming and extremely clean. Kay was super helpful, responsive and provided us with all the essential information we needed. Thank you again for the accommodation Kay! We would love to be back at Windermere and Caxton Cottage soon :)

Superb detached house, in quiet location with a cosy feel despite being very large. Amazing views and spacious gardens ideal for adventurous kids. We had a lovely time here with extended family and the hosts have thoughtfully included everything needed for an easy home from home feel. Would highly recommended staying here.

Had a great stay at The Falls property, such a cosy spot and just beautiful views. We were sad that we didnt really get to use the outside space as it looked great, and we were sad to leave. Would definitely book again if we were in Ambleside. Don't be put off that its outside the town, we timed a 7 minute walk through the back roads which was perfect, also meant we had parking which is clearly at a premium in the town!

An amazing place to stay and the village is really nice. It’s not far away from things to do such as Scafell Pike, and the lakes. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting to be in the countryside.

The drive to the cottage from easedale road, with around 5/6 gates, didn’t phase us at all. I wouldn’t recommend driving along the tracks in a hatchback, but in an SUV it was fine. Also currently in the middle of a drought, so no wet mud to contend with. As I’m young and fit I just jogged between the gates while husband followed in car behind. Check in was fine, the usual key box as with most Airbnb’s, which I prefer over a physical host. Cottage was great, lovely place, gardens and views amazing. It didn’t quite say in the listing, but the whole garden is shared with the other property - it’s massive so space isn’t an issue, it’s more that with dogs this means you have to be constantly watchful which isn’t relaxing - if there was a boundary like a small fence with chicken wire, you could let the dogs roam in peace with the doors open. The mattress was way too hard on the kind size bed for preference, and the other property had a 30 min shower at 2am so I didn’t sleep well sadly.

The venue is stunning, the photos do not do it justice! Everyone has everything the need in each room with their own en suite and the grandness of the building is something else! You have so much space, the large garden area wraps around back and side and is beautiful with stunning views! Everything you could need in the kitchen and welcome bottle very kindly provided by our hosts! Plenty of entertainment and eating areas! When leaving one of our cars broke down and they were very understanding and accommodating! Perfect location, made our stay extra special!

What a fantastic property and garden in such a quiet, lovely neighbourhood yet only 5 minutes’ walk to Bowness on Windermere shops and eating places, a few minutes further walk takes you to the lake and ferry terminal. The property was warm and homely, yet everything was pristine, all the rooms were immaculate, the kitchen was a pleasure to cook in, with plenty of utensils and cooking equipment, spotlessly clean. The ensuite bedrooms were beautiful as were the bathrooms. It has a huge driveway and great enclosed back garden with firepit and Weber BBQ, lots of seating, pity we were not able to take advantage of this due to the weather. The garden was very safe and enclosed for our dogs. We were able to adjust the heating temperature to suit, we really appreciated. Otto was fantastic and responded immediately to any queries before and during our holiday, as well as being pro-active from booking and throughout our week’s holiday. Thanks to the housekeeper who is doing a wonderful job.

Immaculate house in a really good location. Crown Inn was right on the doorstep and the food was excellent there. We could walk to coniston lake and do a lot of activities there and great walks nearby. One bathroom is just off the kitchen and the other on the second floor so we were a little surprised by that but only coz we looked at the photos more than read the description! It still worked just fine, we were 2 families of 3.

We had a fantastic long weekend in the lodge. Absolutely stunning landscape and the lodge was beautiful. It had everything we needed and more! Thank you so much for a fantastic stay.

Thanks John for a excellent stay, your place was perfect for all our needs

Loved our stay

Really enjoyed our stay, we were celebrating my Mother’s 90th birthday and had other family members staying in other lodges around the park. Beautiful scenery and great location. We’ll definitely be visiting again.

Beautiful caravan super spacious and clean. Fantastic location close to moorcombe bay. Lisa was extremely helpful from booking to checkout would defiantly recommend and stay again.

We had a wonderful 5 day stay! The caravan was perfect for our family of four (plus our dog) — cozy, spacious, and full of thoughtful touches that made us feel right at home. What really stood out was the incredible attention to detail, especially for our pup — treats, a towel, and even a blanket were waiting for her. It was so heartwarming and showed how much care went into everything. Our host was amazing — Sam sent us great recommendations in advance for places to eat and things to do, which made our trip so much easier and more enjoyable. The fresh flowers and duck food left for us were such a lovely surprise — it truly felt like a personal and welcoming experience. We’re so grateful and would absolutely love to come back. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a warm, pet-friendly getaway!

Charming and full of character, with fabulous pool and hot tub. Loved our stay with family. Granddaughter filled with excitement throughout our stay.

What a fabulous few days me and my boys had ..I’ve never seen them so relaxed (ages 35 and 37 )x I think it was the lovely energy we felt in the beautiful Nest xx looking out over the river each morning set us up for the day. Would recommend 100% , we had everything we needed ..I couldn’t fault it ..the bedrooms immaculate and the beds /bedding were soft clean and extremely comfortable. We enjoyed the gym and pool offer also x staff there were lovely at the Swan Hotel. Thank you xx

I loved this place. It's well located for everything, food, access to amenities, everything. There was a slight issue with the front door but Joe and Amy sorted it very quickly. They were very helpful. I'd definitely recommend this place 👌

Had a lovely time staying at Sarah’s bnb, very friendly and accomodating host. The room was very cute and romantic. Great stay if you want to go hiking. Greizdale forest is relatively close by as well which was handy

Dinah’s place is absolutely lovely .. such a beautiful cosy space with everything you need. The court yard space was fantastic to be able to sit outside and enjoy dinner and a drink ..will definitely be back

Spotless accommodation in the most beautiful location. The instructions to find the place were spot on. All towels, bedding, dishes and glasses were of a really high standard. We felt right at home. Being on a working farm we were up close n personal with the alpacas and lambs. It was fab! Close to a lovely pub we were able to walk there. Right on the water so we could swim and paddleboard. Loved everything about this place.

The accommodation is situated in a beautiful garden surrounded by amazing views and greenery, and is in a great location for nearby walks and is a very cosy place to stay!

Coming from the States, we were looking for a quintessential Yorkshire Dales experience: someplace peaceful and quiet with beautiful scenery. This place fit the bill perfectly. The house was very comfortable and we especially loved the shower, beds and comforters. It really is self catered so be sure to bring any cooking staples you will need. Beautiful artwork throughout the house, and some great magazines to read on rainy days. We did have an issue on the second to last day we were there - the power went out for no apparent reason. Luckily we were able to isolate the problem circuit and get things partially working again. Claire was very helpful and arranged for showers we could use in the cabins at the main property down the road. All in all, it was a lovely location and we would definitely stay there again.

Great communication, very helpful host. Location is brilliant with lots to do close by.

Had a lovely stay after our wedding in Croatia, we were welcomed with champagne, chocolates and a card which was such a lovely surprise 😀 and balloons and a congratulations sign, it was so peaceful and my husband enjoyed some fishing, just what we needed, thank you Ben and Charlotte 🥰
