Enjoying an idyllic location on the north-eastern shore of Coniston Water, this traditional stone cottage is a fantastic rural retreat for couples, small families or friends. It’s situated on a small country estate and guests benefit from direct access to a private lake shoreline. It’s a great choice for those looking for an adventurous holiday with plenty of exploring, as well as the opportunity to step back from the bustle of daily life.
This pretty two-bedroom property shares a courtyard with four other holiday homes. It is full of character and careful design touches which create a warm and welcoming home for up to five people. The lounge is a pleasant and restful space, where you can put your feet up and unwind with a film, in front of the warming wood burner. The kitchen/diner is a lovely social space for everyone to congregate and prepare good food together, with all the modern equipment you’ll need - whether you’re rustling up a snack or prepping a sit-down meal. On the first floor, you’ll discover two cosy bedrooms which are light and airy. The king-size room benefits from an additional bed, making it ideal for small families. Outside in the large shared garden, take in those magnificent views of the lake and mountains as you enjoy a drink at sunset.
Pack a picnic and wander down to the private lakeshore area where the kids can enjoy a paddle. Hop on a pleasure boat across Coniston Water to see the area from a different perspective, before heading for a bite to eat at the local pub, 1.5 miles away. Keen climbers looking for a challenge will enjoy the Old Man of Coniston fell (2.5 miles), while those looking for a gentler ramble will love Grizedale Forest’s woodland trails, 6 miles away.
