4.9 out of 5
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'…

We really enjoyed staying at Potters Wheel. The cottage is fantastic value for money, given the space and the access to Coniston Water. We love swimming and Paddlebaording and loved the beach access. The cottage has free parking and is a short drive away from local fells and peaks. The cottage was very cosy and was well maintained. The kitchen is modern, well equipped and clean. The bathroom was very clean. Our only minor suggestion would be keep on top of dusting, particularly in the living space.
We will definitely be back!

Superbly equipped kitchen makes meal prep easy. The beds and sofas are very comfortable. Two main criteria for me were a log fire and a bathtub. It all worked so well. Tucked away in woodland but close enough to the road, I loved it. Would definitely re-book.

Lovely conversion of an old terraced cottage right by Coniston lake with water access. Very compact, especially the kitchen / diner but very well equipped . Very rural location which is lovely, but do need to drive 10 min to a pub and 20 min to a proper shop. We did a big shop on the way before we arrived so it wasn’t really an issue . Great walks going up the hills away from the lake also, direct from the house.

Set in a very peaceful and beautiful location with a walk through the garden taking you to a little private beech at the edge of Coniston. Great for accessing the lake for water hobbies and in our case for our dogs to swim their little paws off!

A very comfortable stay in a beautiful cottage. Lamps were left on for our arrival and a lovely welcome gift left on the coffee table. Kitchen was perfectly equipped for cooking and dining.
We booked the cottage primarily for its lake access but sadly we arrived in gale force winds and lashing rain. Had a little walk down to the shared beach and can imagine it would be ideal in good weather.
Really appreciated the comfy sofas and blankets to hunker down through the bad weather.
The bathroom was clean and very light, and the shower is spacious. Towels and linen were top quality but no bath sheet sized towels provided, only small bath towels.
Beds were very comfortable and bedrooms were beautifully presented.
No carpets in the property which made it very easy to clean up after muddy dog walks.
Hot water in kitchen is a bit of a dribble but with a handy dishwasher not an issue for washing up.
The natural landscape of this property does add to the natural charm of this cottage.
In summary, it is a beautiful, comfortable and cosy cottage to be trapped in during bad weather.

Potter’s Wheel is a beautiful little cottage with lake access to Coniston Water.
The cottage has been thoughtfully kitted out with everything you would need for a very comfortable stay. Wonderful mix of traditional cottage and modern comfort. Everything provided for a great bank holiday weekend. It was the perfect base for our family of four and our four legged family members welcome too.
Ross was really helpful from point of booking, confirming access on day of arrival and recommendations for dog friendly restaurants. We highly recommend and would book again without hesitation.

Beautifully styled and furnished cottage with great access to the lake. Clean, well equipped kitchen. Comfy furniture and bedding. Everything was lovely inside. Communication with Ross before the stay was efficient and helpful. I mainly used the cottage as a base to go out hiking from so didn't get to spend a lot of time there. However it had my key needs. Brilliant to have Coniston Water so close for a morning dip or an evening kayak.
Everything we needed and more

We had such a brilliant stay at Potter's Wheel, it really couldn't have been any better. We went for our honeymoon and it was perfect. Ross from Tarn & Fell Escapes was fantastic from start to finish. They took over management of Potter's Wheel after we'd booked and got in touch to reassure us that everything would be as we had planned. We were also offered a complimentary night's stay which was just lovely and allowed us a bit more time to relax.
The property itself was beautiful with absolutely everything we needed and more. There was a pint of milk in the fridge and tea and coffee when we arrived. There was also the most beautiful gift and card from Ross and Fiona and Jason, the owners, to congratulate us on our wedding. It was the personal touches and Ross's warm, friendly approach that made the whole experience so good.
We really can't recommend Ross and Potter's Wheel highly enough. We will definitely be going back, we've got anniversaries to celebrate after all!

We had a wonderful stay at Potter’s Wheel. The cottage is perfectly situated for long walks through the countryside or just spending time by the lake.
It is a beautiful cottage, extremely well equipped with many thoughtful touches by the owners making it welcoming and comfortable.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will definitely be returning! I would highly recommend Potter’s Wheel.
