We had a wonderful stay. Social areas are plenty big enough for 12 of us to be in at 1 time. The location is fantastic, walking distance from all amenities in Coniston. The sun was shining so we got to us the balcony plenty which was delightful.
The house and location was great. Could not fault Barry and Helen for all the information they gave. The house was excellent and it was as discribe. Thank you we would go again.
We were blown away by this accommodation, we had an amazing trip. The house is enormous, comfy and well equipped. The balcony was great too and we all had a brilliant time, hope to return again!
Great location and spacious house for large group!
Great property with space for a large group. Kitchen was very well equipped and designed to help cook for everyone. Easy access to town, lake and local walks by foot. Games room was a bonus for kids.
Gorgeous house, in beautiful location right in village and walking distance to local shops, pubs & restaurants. House had everything you needed and main balcony was a little sun trap.

A lovely property with all the amenities and more that you could need. Great location for accessing local area.Great recommendations from the host for eating out and we enjoyed a lovely meal at the crown.We were blessed with fantastic weather which was lovely although the lack of curtains or blinds in the top ensuite bedroom made it difficult to sleep due to the very early sunny sunrises..
Great location, within walking distance of the town and great pubs. Easy access to lots of walks and hikes.
House had all the amenities we needed and more. Weather for our stay was fab so we enjoyed the back balcony - over looked the tranquil graveyard.
Modern and well equipped house with beds for 12! We were a much smaller party and loved the space!
Outstanding for walk-outs/walk-ins from the property. Spectacular views
All in all, absolutely recommended
The house was great for a family group. Kitchen and Dining area fantastic for a special dinner.
The games room was a real asset giving the teenagers their own chill out space
We all enjoyed the house and would love to be there in the summer to enjoy the outside facilities.
This house was perfect it is spacious with every facility you would need. We went for my 60th birthday and it was perfect. The owners have thought of everything. The check in process is simple. The house has loads of facilities. I cannot recommend this property enough.
Barry and Helen are great hosts and have created a superb holiday getaway.
Spacious and well equipped house in quiet cul de sac very close to village centre and easy access to lake and walks. Lots of outside space and the house is full of light.
All facilities and equipment very high quality
Peaceful, spacious, fully equipped and just absolutely amazing. We were three generations from three separate households with ages ranging between 7 and 81 and the home was truly perfect for us.
We would have loved to ha e stayed longer! Fully equipped kitchen, loved the facilities, the host was extremely helpful and communicative hosts.
We all want to come back to stay again!
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
This property was with doubt exceptional we had a group of 12 people staying over for 4 nights the property Wes exceptional in every way at no point did we feel on top of each other there was so much space really well equipped cutlery towels hair dryers etc great log fire plenty of logs this house is a really warm house without the fire on credit to the owners the perfect house to rent our on the doorstep of the local pubs shops cafe and Donald Campbell museum if your looking for a property that sleeps upto 12 people look no further
We really enjoyed our stay at The White House.
The house was very well equipped with high-end appliances. We particularly like the open plan kitchen dining and sitting area.
Could do with a mirror and stool in the double bedroom on the middle floor as nowhere to do make up and hair! If you are a light sleeper you might want to bring earplugs, there was very little sound proofing between floors but overall a great stay and would highly recommend The White House.
Well equipped house catering for up 12 people of all ages. Very helpful information regarding the property and its facilities were issued in advance. The property was well suited to eating in house with high quality kitchen appliances, china and cutlery.
The bedrooms were comfortable and the bathrooms immaculate and well equipped.
A games room was very helpful when bad weather was curtailing out door activities.

We were all very disappointed when we drove in the house was over looking a graveyard and one of the bedrooms had No blinds or curtains and one bathroom we couldn’t use because the shower wasn’t working it was my husband’s 90th birthday with my family so I wouldn’t go there again very disappointed
The property is modern, clean and comfortable with all of the facilities you would expect. it was very spacious for the six of us. We stayed in November, but I'm sure that in summer you could make excellent use of the outdoor space and barbecue. It is within easy reach of the pubs and shops of Coniston, and there are easy and more challenging walking from the property.
One point to note, the top floor main bedroom has no curtains (?) and astroturf flooring,

About the host
Hosted by Barry or Helen
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.
