Potter's Wheel - sleeps 4, private lake access, dog friendly and parking
Potter's Wheel, located in the small hamlet of Water Yeat, is enviably positioned just seconds from the quiet South Western shores of Coniston Water. This quintessential home away from home is the epitome of a traditional Lakeland cottage and the out-pouring of love from the property owners doesn’t go unnoticed, making this the perfect base to explore some of The Lake District’s unspoilt gems.
The period lead windows, rock faced lounge and original beamed ceilings are paired with modern day amenities and tasteful accessories, striking the perfect balance between the old and the new.
An up-to-the-minute dining kitchen, two comfortable bedrooms and one family house bathroom make up the basis of this ‘olde worlde’ cottage, while the undeniably unique lounge sits at the front of the house. With its feature log burning stove, original spiral staircase and comfortable seating for the whole family, this is without a doubt the beating heart of this charming home.
Not forgetting the reason everyone falls in love with this cottage: the lake access! Step out from the front door and within seconds you’ll have journeyed through the private woodland and be embracing the purity of Lakeland waters. Be it open water swimming, paddleboarding, canoeing – or even a spot of fishing from the private beach area – this is an adventurer’s playground. And dare we say it, possibly even a 'honeymooners haven'...

great place to stay near coniston
Potters wheel is a very well equipped and comfortable place to stay for 4 people.
It's equipped to a very high standard, the sofas and beds are very comfy, the kitchen is well equipped with quality utensils and dinnerware etc.
The location is superb on the road into coniston with direct lake access out the back. Tarn and Fell escapes were great to deal with too.
The only issue I can bring up is the internet was very slow when working (1 mbps or less), and frequently stopped working at all. Even trying to book tickets for things was very difficult and things like iplayer didn't work reliably.

Comfortable property that suited us well.
Clean, comfortable and warm.
Very useful folder of information, intelligently written. Plus appliance manuals for cooker, dishwasher etc.
There were just the two of us - which meant we did not need to use the spiral staircase.
Kitchen well equipped with good quality utensils.

Another super stay.
From the young deer passing through the surrounding woodland, to the tranquil views over the lake, this was another lovely stay at Potter's Wheel. The upgrades to the cottage have offered additional quality to what was already on offer in terms of location and character. The walk in shower is a great addition, and the kitchen has everything you need. We were able to really relax (much needed) and enjoy our stay.
Very much hope to stay again soon.
Thank you to Ross, for all the helpful information and personalised customer service.

Lovely cosy lakeside cottage
Generally a charming, pretty, comfortable little cottage. Was almost perfect for what we needed.
If being picky:
we couldnt get terrestrial TV channels (may say more about us) to work
underfloor heating difficult to programme and didnt seem to work
downstairs bedroom lake facing blind is too small and lets in light. needs to be larger.
probably needs another lavatory if 4 people staying for extended time

Cosy lakeside break
We had a wonderful week at Potter's Wheel - if you paddleboard or kayak, the location is superb as Coniston Water is minutes from the front door. The 2 bedrooms are lovely and the kitchen is very well equipped.
We loved it and will come back!

A beautiful cottage on Coniston water.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the cottage. It was easy to find with the travel instructions we received . The cottage was well equipped and cosy, perfect for all our needs. Being so close to Coniston water made the stay all the more enjoyable. We spent alot of time kayaking and paddle boarding from the bottom of the garden. We had a great week trying new walks nearby. We would definitely book this cottage again, it was picturesque in a beautiful setting.

Great place as a base camp for walks
On a walking holiday in the lakes with a friend, my dog and me, weather not great so we were grateful for a tidy, clean escape from the weather. It’s in a quiet peaceful location but well positioned for access to walks and local towns. Very nice dog-friendly pub in Coniston (The Bull). Would definitely stay again and recommend to friends & family.

Loved our stay at the Potter’s Wheel. The lake at the bottom of the Garden.!
Loved how close to the lake it was. It’s one of the cleanest we have stayed in, attention to detail and everything we needed was provided. Communication before our stay was excellent, check in was easy, Ross kindly called to say we could check in early.
Great location for someone who wants a quiet relaxing time away and easy access to the lake .We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the Potter’s Wheel and will definitely return . .

Does what it says on the tin
Quirky little cottage with everything we wanted and a lot more besides in a secluded location with a private beach. Our well behaved dog was immediately at home in her new surroundings
There was ample parking.
The wifi code needs to be read very carefully as it's not as obvious as it appears first glance.

A fabulous stay!
We had 4 nights at Potters Wheel and it was perfect! The cottage is so cosy and we loved having the log fire! The location is fab and our dog loved having access to the lake so she could go swimming! The property was clean and tidy and we had no complaints! The bed was super comfortable! We would love to return!
