The location is highly praised for its tranquillity, access to walks, and proximity to Lake District attractions. It is described as perfect, with stunning views and a peaceful environment.
The cottage is frequently described as cosy and comfortable, particularly the bed. However, there are a few remarks about the sofa being uncomfortable and the cottage being a bit cold before the log burner is used.

The owners are noted for their thoughtfulness, with mentions of a welcome tray and other small touches. While these gestures are appreciated, it is politely noted that such personal touches, while common, are not 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.

All you need for a trip to the Lakes. Walks straight from the door or a short car trip to the local attractions. Would recommend.

Plenty of walks right from the door and also short car ride to all the sights. Great communication from the owners. Thank you

We cannot fault it. Having an unlimited supply of logs in the winter months made it a real home-from-home. A kitchen that has everything we needed for our self-catering holiday. We want to come back again so we can use the beautiful summer house !
