It is extremely well-equipped and furnished. All the furnishings are very good quality and the beds, sofas and chairs are very comfortable. We found it very spacious for our family group of 8, ranging in age from 6 to 70\.

However we were a little disappointed when we arrived as the photos make it look detached and there were houses attached around both corners but not shown on the photos. Also I don't remember reading that the garden was across a small road so we were unable to just let the dog out into the garden. It also stated that Coniston water was half a mile away from the house. This was as the crow flies and not accessible by carThat been said we had an enjoyable stay ##### Jill P.

What a fantastic place! There were 7 adults and dog in our party and everyone enjoyed their time there the whole layout is great. we sat around the kitchen table talking and playing games when not out and about seeing the local areas. The ladies loved the Victoria bath, the blokes had no chance, maybe next time. Would recommend staying. ##### Matt S.

So much space for us all to get together without being under each others' feet. Really well equipped and so spacious. Great communication with the owner who very promptly deal with a small problem. Lots of great small touches like a games box and walking routes. Couldn't fault it! ##### Kirsty Dunn Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Andrew C. 28 Apr 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Excellent property We had a fantastic stay at Charcoal House and were really impressed by the property and how well-equipped it was. The Nook is an excellent feature that allows everyone to stay connected but also provides for some independence for members of the group if required. The lounge upstairs is very large and provides lovely views as the sun goes down. The garden was a real bonus (we were lucky to have sunny weather all week) with good outdoor furniture provided. Overall, very impressed and would stay there again. ##### Andrew C.

The kitchen was really well equipped which really helps. All the beds were kingsize and one was even bigger, so we slept well! It rained a fair bit over the weekend, so we didn't see any views, which was a shame, but we enjoyed ourselves despite this. It would have been perfect if the pub had been a bit nearer! ##### Theresa M.

Charming and comfortable home in beautiful setting. Simon was both helpful and prompt in communication. Americans beware that a UK king bed is considerably smaller than US king bed and the Aga stove keeps the downstairs a bit too warm in summer. ##### margaret c. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Amanda J. 5 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location Coalhouse is a beautiful, spacious property with lovely features. Simon was very responsive and informative plus directions and check-in was as detailed.We all felt the property details were misleading as the view from the balcony was not as described - we looked at neighbors cars, a house opposite and trees. There is no access to the River Crank from the property and we did walk down the lane as detailed in the house itinerary which just went down a field to the river but no where else to walk.The garden is detailed as fully enclosed, this is not true as there were areas where our two dogs could escape plus the garden is not attached to the house and over an access road to other properties which is open to the road at the top. This meant we had to lead our dogs every time to access the garden. If we had known the garden was not attached to the house we wouldn’t have stayed here.We have had a lovely time with friends and the weather has been kind. ##### Amanda J.
