Gable End lies on The Atkinson Ground Estate, in the heart of the Lake District, overlooking the northern head of Coniston Water, a huddle of houses and barns set amongst extensive grounds, with views of the nearby lake.
Within the grounds, each property has been allocated private garden areas to relax, barbecue and enjoy superb views of lake and mountain.
From the cottage you have a host of walks to explore; up a mountain, by lake shore or through a mighty woodland, the Grizedale Forest, all this and a cosy cottage to come home to relax in and enjoy.
The village of Coniston lies about a mile and half around the lake, offering shops, cafes and a number of good pubs serving locally brewed ale.
From the village, tracks lead up through the old coppermines valley and to the foot of Coniston Old Man, where the hearty can make an attempt to the 2635 ft summit and view never to be forgotten.
At the boating centre you can hire rowing, sailing and little electric power boats, setting off to explore the shoreline and bays.
Gable End
Adjoining the owners own home, Gable End, along with our other holiday home on the Atkinson Ground Estate, is hosted by my good friend Kathryn Bowyer. Ever popular with our guests it has been fully refurbished to offer the perfect cottage for two, with a warm welcome and tasty tuck box full of chocolate goodies and bottle of wine.
From the front door you enter into a small hall, off which lies the bedroom, bathroom and kitchen. The bedroom, with an inviting emperor size bed, is prettily decorated. The bathroom is contemporary with a super whirlpool bath to relax tired muscles after a day on the fell, overhead shower, hand basin and WC.
The kitchen, with high pitched ceiling, is fully equipped, allowing for easy food preparation.
Stairs from the kitchen lead up to a snug sitting - dining room. A comfortable sofa and arm chair sit around a log burning stove, adding warmth in winter. To one end is a dining table where, with a little candlelight, you can create romantic, relaxed meals.
The cottage is perfectly placed to explore all the Lake District national park, whilst nearby you have one of our finest lakes and forests.
