Pros. Lovely spacious property in a quiet location. Well equipped and presented. A gem. Cons. With all hard floors noise travels, and a top floor bedroom does not have the option of curtain/blinds.

Lake District Trip
Great modern property with lots of space and good for large groups. The location was nice and quiet with some nice pubs/restaurants within walking distance. A bit difficult to get taxis to and from Windermere but we managed eventually. Would definitely return to this property

Family Birthday celebration weekend
We stayed here as a family of 11 to celebrate Mam's/Grandma's 82nd birthday. What an amazing place! Helen and Barry have really thought of everything. Decor, appliances and equipment, etc all of great quality. It's a very sociable house with there being the large sitting room area kitchen and dining area. We all made great use of the games room and downstairs sitting room in the evenings too. It's also in a great location, being in the centre of Coniston but in a quiet area at the end of a cul-de-sac, so no traffic noise. 3 great pubs too - we just had to try the award winning beers! I really couldn't recommend it enough - we couldn't have asked for better! Thank you!

About the host

Hosted by Barry or Helen

Host profile image
We are Mum Dad and four kids that love the outdoor life, all born in England. Coniston has been our second home for a long time. Having camped, caravanned and rented accommodation in the lakes for years we decided to purchase The White House. After a two year renovation completed in Spring 2016 we want others to enjoy the property village and lakes as we do.

No matter whatever is the season the lake district and especially Coniston, is a special place. We love seeing winter snow on the Old Man while sitting in the lounge in front of the log fire with a mug of hot chocolate. Similarly spending long summer days on the balcony drinking homemade lemonade reading a book and sometimes drinking something a little stronger as the children play in the garden. As the day draws to an end, cooking local produce on the barbeque is something we love to do. The stars on a clear warm summer night the rear balcony is not to be missed.

Why they chose this property

The white house is unique in that no properties in the village are able to offer the level of luxury in all areas to accommodate 12 persons in comfort. Although the property is located within village the views are outstanding.

Staying at the White House is similar to staying in a boutique hotel with all the facilities of home. Within two minutes walking distance of all village facilities it's great to park up and not drive.

Walks from the door step, great village amenities and facilities all within 200mts and a luxury property with fantastic views and facilities that all will enjoy.

What makes this property unique

The quality of accommodation, location to amenities and Lakeland village setting make the property extra special for large families and friends who have discerning taste and are looking for accommodation that offers the true wow factor and will exceed their expectations.
