We had a fantastic weekend celebrating our friend’s 60th birthday at Beech Tree House. It was perfect for our needs, spacious, clean, warm and comfortable. It had superb facilities for self catering and the hosts were very attentive and helpful.“

The Beech Tree Coniston

We spent 5 days at Robert and Emilie’s place. The house was perfect for our group of friends. The kitchen was well equipped and the extra storage room made it easy to use the kitchen to cook for large quantities. We enjoyed home-cooked meals in the large dining room, which fitted all of us around one table. The two living rooms gave space for smaller groups to relax. Each of the bedrooms was very nice and the number of showers and toilets across the house further added to the ease of a group of people spending time together. The house is located very conveniently as you enter the village, only a few minutes’ walk from shops and pubs in Coniston, and we could start walking trips straight from the house. All in all we had a wonderful time and hope to be able to visit again some time soon!

Pippa Rochford group

You corresponded with my daughter Pippa Rochford regarding the letting of The Beech Tree at Coniston for Xmas week — my husband and I were the oldies of the party of our four children plus their husbands/wives and our ten grandchildren and I just wanted to say how very much we all appreciated the marvellous Xmas decorations. We’d have been perfectly happy to find one Xmas tree — but three, and all the other lovely decorations as well — we just thought wow!!!  It must have taken you ages to put them all up and thank you very, very much for such a kind thought and all that effort. Everything went splendidly, the house is so well equipped that we lacked for nothing, we all had a wonderful week and being a quiet family group I can assure you we certainly did not disturb any neighbours!

Robert was attentive and helpful, the property was fantastic, great location, nice and warm, the rooms were well equipped and very comfortable. Great kitchen with everything you could ever need (there’s a local coop very near by). All in all an excellent property and great owner, would happily come back!

Jenna Group

Just wanted to say we had a great weekend and the house was great. 

There had been mention from a few in our party that they were having trouble getting the showers in their rooms to work. Other than that I really couldn’t fault it

This is a fantastic property in a great location. We stayed here last year and returned again this year. We were not disappointed!

Very helpful couple – beautiful old house with some original features and very close to the village centre“

Marie Group

Great location, lovely bedrooms, two separate lounges to accommodate number of people staying. If kitchen had some T L C we would go back.  ( issue sorted was mainly caused by a leak in the kitchen  shortly before the group came)

Mary Rose Group

We had a great time and got back safely.  Exhausted but safe

Ronald climbed the Old Man and got to the top with 11 family members!  And down again.  So he is feeling pretty pleased. The age range was 1 ½ years to 90! We now have the remaining family to lunch on Sunday – 24 – !

The House is lovely warm and welcoming – the heating levels were just right.

Alison Spittles

A fantastic property for a large group to stay, beautiful location, good access to facilities – thoroughly recommended. We loved the garden as well as the house – maybe a bit more could be said about this on the website?

Kirst Cann

The house has been ideal, my only reason for letting Glenn know about the faults was because it was requested in the house rules.

Chris Hodgson

Yes we enjoyed it very much.

Katy Allen

The house was ideal for our big family group, with numerous double rooms, many of which had en-suite facilities and two large sitting rooms. There was also a beautiful garden which was lovely to just sit in and relax. We were there to celebrate significant birthdays and the house was perfect for this purpose.

The house is situated close to the centre of Coniston, which has many amenities, including pubs, restaurants, cafes, shops and so on. Our teenagers enjoyed kayaking, playing tennis, cycling, (doing jigsaws at the house) and we all walked out onto the fells directly from the house.

Mathew Vonk

A large clean cozy house in the charming town of Coniston. We were there three nights and used the well stocked kitchen to cook two meals for our group of 15. Of the 4 places we stayed in the UK (including a huge much more expensive manor house near Inverness) this house was most peoples favorite lodging. Highly recommend. We spent one day climbing up the Old Man of Coniston Hill, and also walked to the Coniston water. One day we drove to nearby Ambleside which was a treat. Be advised, the roads to Coniston are quite narrow.“

Finally, the owner and manager of the property were both very helpful during all stages of booking and our stay at Beechtree House. I would thoroughly recommend a the house and area for a good holiday.

Hi Robert,

We enjoyed our stay and would recommend The Beech Tree. It’s a lovely building, well positioned, well kept and resourced. The kitchen was quite small for the size of our party. Apart from that couldn’t fault it. Thanks for the information. Interesting it dates back as far as 1760.

We had an amazing stay made even better with fantastic weather . We were a family group of 15 there for a special celebration . We had 7 children ranging from 6 months to 11 and they loved the outside spaces and garden , the pool room and that they didn’t have to share bedrooms with their parents . The adults loved the cosy sitting rooms , the modern appliances and great storage facilities . The location is great with the most amazing views from the bedrooms . Lots of private parking and a feeling of seclusion despite being near to all the amenities . We would love to go again probably with friends next time .

The feedback from everyone was pretty positive.
House was generally good, the kitchen could have been less cluttered so that there’s room to put food.
Facilities were good and it’s in a great location. Dining room was really good, loads of parking space off road and good recommendations for local pubs and cafes.

Thanks

We like the house so much – it really suits our needs as a big group – that we would like to book

David Group

A lovely comfortable Lakeland house. Spacious, warm and welcoming. A real home from home with lots of space for all of us.

Gary Group

This accommodation is perfect for large groups wanting a relaxing weekend in the Lake District. The house is at the end of the main high street but set back off the main road, meaning you are in walking distance from everything you need but the house is tucked away so nice and quiet. The house itself is beautiful, really spacious, comfy beds, enough toilets and showers for a large group and a very nice dining area meaning everyone could eat together. Being a group of old university friends meeting up, the pool table was a welcome addition and we spent most of our time just hanging out in the house. I would 100 percent recommend this house and I am already thinking about when I can come back.

James group

Amazing location and a great property.

Lizzie Group

We were so beyond thrilled with this gem! Wonderful setting, brilliant house and just perfect hosts. Thank you so much!

Hi Robert,
 

We have a wonderful stay at the house and the kids loved it.House was very spacious and had everything we required. 

Only one thing was the main living room TV was wobbly as the TV was not screwed into the stand. This was a little dangerous and would need doing. 
Thank you for the opportunity of letting us staying there, Coniston is a beautiful village and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves, especially as the weather was nice for this time of year. 

Kind regards

Hi Robert just to let you know we’ll all had a fantastic weekend at the beech tree house

From a 67 year old to a 5 year old just loved it

Thank you Phil

Leah Watt

The Beechtree House was a great spot. Lovely wee village and excellent accommodation. The rooms were spacious and with 15 of us staying, we didn’t feel like we were in each others space. It was very clean, comfortable, and nice and warm. The only downside to the visit was that there was an issue with the showers and water pressure; Robert advised that there had been a plumber in recently who didn’t properly switch something back on after their repairs were done, so this should be resolved for future guests.

The house is spacious, clean and warm and is superbly positioned for the village. The house contained everything we needed to make our stay comfortable and is accurately described . Robert communicated very clearly prior to our arrival and was quick to respond to questions

Philip Group

Good afternoon Robert. Just a note to say how much we all enjoyed your house, for our short break. Everyone in our party were really impressed with it. It’s got everything you could want for. Perfect for large groups. I hope we left the house to your liking ,upon our departure yesterday. We did not experience any breakages or damages, in relation to the house.

Dear Robert,

Thanks for your email.

Yes thanks, everything went very well.  We had a very comfortable and happy time with 15 family members plus an old family friend.  Another son and his wife and two children visited us for a day.

The garden is doing pretty well.  There was rain on a couple of days, and everything is pretty green.

David’s group  

factor for me in wanting to return one day is that we formed quite a friendship with the minister and his wife at Hawkshead Hill Baptist Church, not to mention too that we hardly skimmed the surface of all the things one can do from a Coniston base. Mary is going to give the details to a friend who is interested in a family get together.

Best wishes, David

The house is big, quite spacious, good size rooms. Loads of bathroom and toilets so no hassle getting ready in the morning

Mattress is of good quality. Backyard is quite big and good for BBQ. Good for group of 16. Location is perfect for hiking to Scafell pile and Helvellyn. 15 mins walk to the lake and can swim in the lake. Overall good stay, highly recommended.“

We had a wonderful weekend  thank you,

The house and gardens (what views!) were perfect for our needs and far exceeded our expectations. You caterered for all our self catering needs very well; the bedrooms were plentiful, very roomy, clean and comfortable and the number of showers and toilets were ideal for a large group.

We had a fantastic time Robert. The house suited us perfectly.

We’ve all had a super time and weather has been super. I left them Pike, which was a long day, but we couldn’t have asked for better a fantastic weekend. A great achievement for some walking to the top of Scafell weather April 2018

all, a clear blue sky almost all day.

The house was perfect for our needs, it was really good to have breakfast and an evening meal together in the dining room.

Dear Robert,

Yes we did enjoy our stay at Beechtree.  Great location – Coniston Lake lovely. The only down side to the house was the kitchen,  We had 18 at one point and it didn’t leave much room for manoeuvre.  Also, the kitchen wasn’t well equipped with serving dishes, utensils, scales etc. for cooking purposes (looking into this – Robert)     

Best Wishes,

Thank you for letting us stay in your wonderful house

Hello Robert.. 

yeah we had a nice time at the Beechtree house. Glen was very helpful. 

I have already recommended the Beechtree to friends . Very comfortable and specious place. I will leave a feedback on airbnb aswel. 

Mr Mohamed Riswan Mohamad Nasar.

As a party of 12 visiting the area for walking, we found this house perfect. It is very well located in the village of Coniston – near the pubs, cafes and shops. It’s also perfect for walkers being right next to Old Man Coniston. The house is not ‘luxury’ but had everything we needed and it has many lovely old features, like the tiled entrance hall. Everything was very clean and tidy and our host was very accommodating. Overall we felt it was fantastic value!“

We had a fantastic time, absolutely loved the house and will certainly visit again in the future.. 

thanks

Great location, right in the heart of Coniston. Robert was very helpful and made us feel really welcome.

I have headed off early today as have a family party but the rest of the group are still there.

We had such a fab time & the house is fantastic! Out of interest is it also a B&B? We were trying to work out the story if u had recently bought it & converting it to a group house?

Thanks,

Lynsey

Good day. The place was good and all our group members liked it. The place is central but still secluded and private. From eco-friendly perspective, you could consider replacing with LED bulbs. The place is highly recommended for group stays.

The weather was a complete washout but loved staying indoors with card games and nice food.

Beechtree house was immaculately clean and the use of the kitchen and fridge was great. The room had a good en suite shower room, comfortable bed and a lovely view out the window. Great value and everything we wanted, we hope to stay again next time we visit the lakes. Many Thanks.

I booked the Beech Tree for myself and nine of my colleagues for a work trip. Robert and Glen went above and beyond to accommodate our needs and we had a great stay. The house is spectacular with generous sized rooms, many of which are en suite, and it is spotlessly clean throughout. It’s also ideally placed in Coniston – just a few minutes walk to the town centre. In short, I have nothing negative to say about the Beech Tree!

Rubian

Robert’s house is wonderful. The room was a good-sized ensuite with a comfortable bed. Viewing from the window was peaceful and the whole house is very cozy. Next time I’m in Corniston I’ll definetly stay there again!

The Beechtrees Guesthouse is ideally set up for a group of friends who want a big place with lots of beds and a couple of living rooms and who aren’t bothered about breakfast at the bnb. We were a family of 3 staying and used the double and twin rooms opposite each other at the far end of the corridor; they were comfy, cosy, clean and characterful. Rob was a good host, friendly and helpful on all accounts. Thank you for having us at such short notice.

Jonathan

The house is beautifully located with good facilities. There was a nice garden with wonderful views over Coniston. The rooms were neat and the house was in good condition. We’d go back in a heartbeat.

Robert’s house has a very convenient location. Very easy to find. But a little far from Windermere. Need to be sure have bus or book a taxi before going. The house and rooms more like a little hotel. Robert don’t live there or nearby, but will respond to messages online pretty quick.
