If you are looking for a lake district cottage set in the heart of rural lakeland then Underwood may be for you. Located in the hamlet of Little Arrow at the foot of the Coniston Old Man, Underwood Cottage, along with the few other nearby houses, all lie just north of Torver, overlooking the west shores of Coniston Water.
Popular as a base for both high and low level walking, there are pathways to The Old Man for a big climb, tracks across Torver Common and paths that lead down to the lake, where you can explore the shore line, swim and boat in summer, or follow the lake shore path to Coniston village.
Torver offers two pubs, the Wilson Arms and Church House, a fine traditional inn, some 600 years old with flagged floors, low ceilings,
roaring log fires and fine beers. Take the path of the old railway line, a pleasent 3/4 mile stroll and you have the Ship Inn
About 1.5 miles north and accessible by road or footpath, is Coniston village. Here you have plenty of local shops, pubs and the Coniston Boating Centre for boat hire.
Underwood
Recently acquired and beautifully refurbished by owners Helen and Allan, this detached property offers a high level of comfort for guests, affording a modern lake district holiday home.
Approached by a short private drive, the property is built on one level. You enter into a good sized hallway, ideal for boots and bits.
The sitting room is light and airy, with a dining table to one end and two plump leather sofas drawn around a roaring log stove. From the window the view is filled with meadow, fell and lake.
The Kitchen is very well equipped with all mod cons, perfect to rustle up grand dinners or light lunch.
The three bedrooms are all very well presented, most comfortable, each with en-suite having underfloor heating.
You can choose between the king sized double with its en-suite whirlpool bathroom. The twin room and its en-suite bathroom with overhead shower, or the the second double bedroom with en-suite shower room and little conservatory, perfect for that quiet early morning coffee.
Outside you have private parking and a patio style garden with views down to the lake. In summer the sun shines down in the late afternoon, and will be ideal to relax with a drink or barbecue.
All in all, this is a perfect lake district cottage for families, friends or couples. Your hosts are a delightful couple, offering a warm welcome to their guests where, I am sure, for all who come will leave with very happy memories - perfect!

GUEST REVIEWS
'1st class accommodation and appreciated by all. Excellent location and views fantastic.
This is our first visit to the Lake District and will hopefully be back.
Thank you for making this an enjoyable visit"
Mr & Mrs T - Cornwall
"Than you for your lovely cottage. We have enjoyed our stay in Underwood, it felt just like home and we could not have asked for more, there is everything you need.
The weather has been fantastic, plenty to do and super views. Again thank you."
Mr & Mrs C - St Helens
"A completely wonderful cottage - great facilities and a perfect location. Easily accommodated the six of us and is furnished to a high standard.
The Steam Gondola on Coniston Water runs a fantastic long tour twice a week - really recommended. The walk up Coniston Old Man runs right behind the cottage. You will need energy but the climb and views are well worth it.
Thanks for a great week"
Mr & S - Heartfordshire
"Clean, comfortable and very tastefully decorated throughout. The cottage has been the ideal place to spend mum's 60th birthday weekend. We enjoyed the wood burner on winter evenings and the stunning scenery and walks during the day - next time we will have to stay longer.
Thank you both very much."
Mr & Mrs B - St Albans
"The sign of a good cottage is to be glad when you return at the end of the day - and that was certainly true in our case.
We are so pleased we chose Underwood! It is beautifully furnished with all mos cons and stunning views. We very much appreciated the cleanliness. Thank you very much."
Mr & Mrs C - Cornwall
" A great week was had by all. The cottage exceeded our expectations - comfortable, beautifully decorated, very well equipped and a lovely home from home feeling.
We had many enjoyable walks, great food in the local inns - we highly recommend The Church House Inn just up the road - and even the weather was kind to us. We love coming to the Lake District and in the words of Arnie - We will be back!!"
