Guests say
Little Knott is a charming, quirky cottage in the Lake District, praised for its unique character, cosy atmosphere, and beautiful views. Guests appreciate the well-equipped kitchen, comfortable beds, and responsive, helpful hosts. The cottage is ideally located for exploring the southern Lakes, with easy access to Coniston and surrounding areas. While some mention minor issues such as road noise, tricky stairs, and occasional maintenance quirks, the overall experience is overwhelmingly positive, with many guests eager to return.
Multiple reviews highlight the cottage as clean, tidy, and well cared for. Only one or two minor mentions of initial coldness or sooty smell, but no significant complaints about cleanliness.
The location is frequently praised for its peaceful setting, proximity to Coniston and the southern Lakes, and stunning views. Some mention road noise and rural setting, but these are generally outweighed by the positives.
Guests consistently mention comfortable beds, a cosy atmosphere, and warmth, especially after recent heating upgrades. Some note thin duvets or less comfortable sofas, and the stairs may be challenging for those with mobility issues.
The cottage is described as well-equipped, with a good kitchen, laundry facilities, log burner, and enclosed garden. A few guests mention minor issues with hot water, heating, or the log burner, but overall facilities are highly rated.
Several guests mention thoughtful touches such as welcome gifts (wine, crisps, cookies, hot chocolate), a real Christmas tree, and helpful communication from the hosts. Please note that such gifts are not guaranteed for every stay.
