This gorgeous barn conversion for four people is a fantastic rural retreat overlooking picturesque Coniston Water. It’s situated on the lower slopes of the Old Man of Coniston fell, and boasts miles of scenic walks and footpaths direct from the front door. It’s within walking distance of local pubs and shops, and one canine is also welcome, making it a true family break.
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. Wander around the shops in the village of Coniston, less than half a mile away, and enjoy a bite to eat in one of its many pubs and restaurants.
