Name: Michael SCOTT - 14-Jul-2012
Comment: A small, but very complete and agreable appartment. Everything you could possibly need during your stay has been thought of. Also nice little touches like fresh flowers and scones on arrival. Fantastic location, nice little walk straight from your doorstep along a public footpath towards Tarn Hows. Very peaceful. Just perfect!
Name: Karen Woodcock - 2-Jun-2012

Name: Marion Fergusson - 23-Jul-2011
Comment: Great Location. Second time of staying, the flat is well appointed, very clean and the plate of home made scones were delicious. Lovely to be able to walk to Tarn Hows, also Coniston and give the car a rest. After a long day walking the recliners are excellent.
Name: Carol Nelson - 30-Apr-2011
Comment: What a superb location for a holiday! The accommodation was perfect (and a very comfortable bed) and the view from the lounge and bedroom windows magnificent. And the peace! Wonderful. Added to all that, there are some beautiful walks very easily accessible from Chantonbury - even the walk into Hawkshead was a delight. What a perfect holiday!

Comment: We have been to chanconbury 3 times and will hopefully visit again in the future.It has everything that anyone could possibley want when on a self catering holiday.It is always warm with plenty of hot water which is a must when in the Lake District as the weather is so unpredictable. As so many people comment in the visitors book we all love the chairs! Sylvia and Stephan are extremely helpful if needed and we always enjoy cathcing up with them.
The walk around Tarn Hows is idyllic and right on the doorstep.The walk across the fields to Hawkshead is very enjoyable with fabulous views.It is possible to spend the week there without even using the car as there are so many walks to explore right on the doorstep.Having said that we always like to go to Windermere and Ambleside when we feel like a rest from walking. Taking the ferry to Windermere makes the visit that much more interesting. We park on this side and take the ferry by foot.
We thoroughly recommend Chanctonbury!

Name: Andrew Friend - 18-Sep-2010
Comment: A fantastic holiday. The nicest cottage we have ever stayed in, and in a fantastic location. The whole week was a delight - even the Lakeland rain! Lakeland Hideaways provided excellent service. We will certainly be booking again - Thank you for a wonderful week.
Name: M CHIVERS - 14-Aug-2010
Comment: We stayed here for a week...a lovely place. Not too far from Hawkshead and Coniston. Walks possible from the door. Tarn How at the back...a must at sunrise. Handy milkman service! Dinner in the Drunken Duck was great.
Name: Ronald Slinn - 12-Jun-2010
Comment: A pleasent and comfortable cottage with everything that most people will require.
As someone who cannot use dairy products I would prefer that the delivery by the milkman not be automatic.
We did like that the cottage was very clean and maintained to a high standard.
