If your perfect holiday is to be near to a lake shore, have fabulous views, walks from your doorstep and a pub nearby, then the Peat House will be for you.

Part of a very small hamlet, all set in the beautiful Crake Valley, the Peat House lies a mile from Coniston Water. Tracks lead from the cottage through woodland and moor, where you can take trails across fell leading to the Grizedale Forest, ending your day with a walk home by a lake shore. If you fancy a pint in a friendly inn, the Red Lion is a gentle one mile stroll down to nearby Lowick Bridge.

The landscape is the backdrop for Arthur Ransome's famous novels and is ideal for walking and cycling. Bethacar Moor is criss crossed with tracks and pathways, rewarding you with bracing walks and fine views.

North lies the village of Coniston at the head of the lake, offering shops, cafes and a number of good pubs serving locally brewed ale.

From the Coniston, 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.

The Peat House

The cottage has been beautifully created from a 17th century peat house, offering guests a high level of comfort.

You enter into a spacious open plan sitting room, dining kitchen area. The first impression is of warmth and elegance. The sitting room has panelled walls and timber floors in soft creams, scattered with richly coloured rugs. Soft lighting spills onto polished dark furniture and a plump sofa and two armchairs are drawn around the roaring log fire.

The sense of style continues into the dining - kitchen area. All mod cons, it is finished with panelled units and a fine table where, with the lights dimmed and a few candles, you have the perfect place to dine and talk.

Upstairs are two bedrooms, comfortably furnished with pitched ceilings. The double has an en-suite bathroom and the twin a shower room, with a closet on the landing.

The large garden has views out to fell and woodland. Here you will find the conservatory adjoing a small reading room, a quiet place with a host of books, desk, armchair and log burning stove. The location, style and sheer comfort make this cottage perfect for both summer and winter, both for families and friends or as a romantic and memorable retreat for two.
