This gorgeous barn conversion for four people is a fantastic rural retreat overlooking picturesque Coniston Water.

Located on the owner’s small farm, this delightful property offers comfortable and homely accommodation. The open-plan kitchen/lounge is on the first floor as you enter, with everything you and your guests will need to prepare snacks and meals. Exposed beams add extra character to this space, with the log burner in the lounge throwing out some extra warmth as you all settle down to watch a film or play a board game on the comfortable sofas. Enjoy a leisurely breakfast or a family dinner in the separate dining room. Heading back downstairs and then down another flight to the lower ground floor, you’ll arrive in the two cosy bedrooms. Decorated in neutral tones, each has a restful and calming ambience, ensuring a great night’s sleep ahead. Enjoy your morning coffee in the small seating area to the front of the property.

 

Join one of the paths on the edge of the farm’s grounds, which go on for miles and will keep the dog and children entertained. Enjoy a boat ride on Coniston Water or try a range of water sports which are on offer at the nearby boating centre. For woodland walks and sculpture trails, Grizedale Forest (7.5 miles) makes for a great day out.

We had a really lovely stay in the beautiful Hay Barn at Braithwaite Farm.A welcome retreat after a day of walking or hiking in the hills and mountains around Coniston.The location was very quiet but was also only a 10 minute walk down paths and fields to the Ship Inn.Perfect place to start your walk up the Old Man of Coniston.The cottage was lovelRead morey and had everything needed for an enjoyable stay.Matt the farm manager was extremely helpful. Very steep hill up from Coniston village is only issue Hide

We really enjoyed our stay here in a very comfortable well equipped house. Coniston village is easily walkable but a pretty steep incline on the way back. The owner is very obliging and helpful and views fantastic over the lake. Easy to get to the 'old man' and a great walk if the weather obliges. Pub at Torver did great lunchtime food and the CrowRead moren in the village good evening meals. Hide

What a wonderful tranquil place to stay, surrounded by the most beautiful countryside with views to die for. Very friendly owners who love dogs. Yes the hill to the property is steep but dont let it deter you from staying here. Will be back as we have to climb the Old Man of Coniston.

Lovely well maintained spacious accommodation with very friendly host in a beautiful quiet spot under Old Man of Coniston and lovely views of lake and the Fells. Very steep access to the farm but easily drivable. Would most definitely recommend a stay.

Really lovely cottage, the owner Matt was so nice and helpful. Very clean and had everything we needed. Location is very quiet and a great starting point for walking up the Old Man of Coniston. It is up a serious incline from the village which feels quite hairy to drive up.

Perfect location for country walks and water sports, easy access to Coniston Lake. Owners friendly but not intrusive. We had a great week and would recommend this property for those who want a relaxing holiday, with picturesque scenery. Also ideal for those who enjoy sup boarding.
